Subject: [PATCH] Pin release notes baseline to latest stable release

GitHub's auto-generated release notes pick the newest release as the
baseline, including snapshot prereleases. v0.1.0-M10's changelog was
generated against snapshot-5e9cef3-3 and silently dropped every PR
merged between v0.1.0-M9 and that snapshot. Generate the notes
explicitly via the API with previous_tag_name set to the latest
stable (non-prerelease, non-draft) release instead.
