-    the following command should help pre-generate a great deal of the table of content.
-    be careful with the format and false-positives :wink:
-    ```nushell
-    rg '^#+ ' blog/...
-        | lines
-        | each {
-            str replace '# ' '- '

-<!-- NOTE: to start investigating the contributions of last release, i like to list them all in a raw table.
-    to achieve this, one can use the [`list-merged-prs` script from `nu_scripts`](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/make_release/release-note/list-merged-prs)
-    as follows:
-
-    ```nushell
-    use ./make_release/release-note/list-merged-prs
-    use std clip
-
-    let last_release_date = ^gh api /repos/nushell/nushell/releases
-        | from json
-        | into datetime published_at
-        | get published_at
-        | sort
-        | last
-
-    let prs = list-merged-prs nushell/nushell $last_release_date
-        | sort-by mergedAt
-        | update url {|it| $"[#($it.number)]\(($it.url)\)" }
-        | update author { $"[@($in)]\(https://github.com/($in)\)" }
-        | select author title url
-        | rename -c {url: pr}
-        | to md --pretty
-
-    $prs | to md --pretty | clip

+A bug was introduced in 0.99.0 where `return`, `break`, and `continue` could cause `$env.LAST_EXIT_CODE` to be set to 1. This has been fixed in [#14120](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14120).
