Release Notes ChangeLog Generator

This is a Python script that outputs markdown changelog from Gateway and Dashboard from a CSV file named release.csv. The CSV file is expected to be produced from a confluence table copied into a spreadsheet and exported as CSV.

The CSV parser parses the following column headings:

• Components
• Custom field (Release Notes*)
• Change

Ensure the following:

• The first row contains the column headings row, there are no preceding blank rows.
• Components column is completed and contains no blank values. The script will report rows that contain blank values and offer to continue generating the markdown. The parser recognises the following values in the Components column (Tyk Portal (old), Tyk Portal, Tyk Dashboard, Documentation, Tyk Gateway, Internal, None, Tyk Plugin, Tyk Pump)
• Add a Change column that contains one of the enumerated values (Add, Deleted, Deprecated, Fix, Internal, None or Update). The script will report rows that contain blank values and offer to continue generating the markdown.

The Components column can contain multiple values, separated by a comma. For example: Tyke Dashboard, Tyk Gateway.
