# Displaying Contributors in Release Note

Recently, while working on the new [LINE Bot Go SDK](https://github.com/line/line-bot-sdk-go/releases) release, I found that by using `@person` (requires auto-completion), a Contributors field appears in the Release note.

# Automatic Release Note

It can even automatically generate Release Notes.

- Needs to be a new change through a PR.
- The PR needs to have a clear description (of course)

It's also very convenient to generate!
