A little something to help PTB devs with their releases.

Logging changes from the commit history is a tiresome process and even more so, if you need the log in different markup languages. The devs of python-telegram-bot have to fear no more!

1. Install the python requirements by pip install -r requirements.txt.
2. Save a copy of example_main.py as main.py and fill in your configurations:
   • new_version: The version that you are about to release
   • github_token: A GitHub GraphQL token with read access to the PTB organisation
   • bot_token: A Telegram Bot token
   • telegram_chat_id: A chat ID the bot can send messages to, preferably yours
   • ptb_dir: The path to your local clone of the PTB repository
3. Run python main.py. This fetches the current changelog and guides you through the next steps. In the end, you will have a message on Telegram ready to be copied to the PTB channel and the PTB repository will be ready for the release commit.

That's it. Happy releasing! 🙂
