...create a new release note?
-----------------------------

By running ``reno`` command via tox, e.g::

  $ tox -e venv -- reno new version-foo
    venv create: /home/foo/ironic/.tox/venv
    venv installdeps: -r/home/foo/ironic/test-requirements.txt
    venv develop-inst: /home/foo/ironic
    venv runtests: PYTHONHASHSEED='0'
    venv runtests: commands[0] | reno new version-foo
    Created new notes file in releasenotes/notes/version-foo-ecb3875dc1cbf6d9.yaml
      venv: commands succeeded
      congratulations :)

  $ git status
    On branch test
    Untracked files:
      (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

      releasenotes/notes/version-foo-ecb3875dc1cbf6d9.yaml

Then edit the result file.

For more information see the `reno documentation`_.
