This python tool makes it easy to write release notes based on a list in a trello board. The list should contain all the features that will be shipped with an upcoming release. This list will be exported to a markdown file which can be used as a template for writing the release notes. The template contains a title, original description of the feature and a link to the coresponding trello card.

Setup

• install python & pip
• pip install requests
• pip install mdpdf
