The changelogs look really nice and the process seems great! (While
waiting for the support for pre-release version numbers =))

One thing to improve would be to add some extra information what are
the breaking changes in case of a major version bumb. It is not always
easy to see without going through all the linked issues or diffs. For
example: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/nginx/releases/tag/v2.0.0

I like them but could live without. So it depends how much work it
takes to send them.
