Description

The CHANGELOG.md file has been a source of merge conflicts and has still resulted in poor quality release notes. Release notes will now be generated from PR and commit metadata instead. See opensearch-project/OpenSearch#21071 for the proposal and opensearch-project/OpenSearch#21083 for the equivalent change in core OpenSearch.

Changes

  • Replace CHANGELOG.md content with a redirect to the PR search and release notes tooling docs
  • Delete .github/workflows/changelog_verifier.yml
  • Remove changelog helper and commit steps from .github/workflows/dependabot_pr.yml, replace with unconditional skip-changelog label
