--starting-version not working

[feliperaul]

I have an old git project with 10 years of commit in it.

I created a tag v5.0.0 and passed --starting-version v5.0.0 so that auto-changelog wouldn't create a huge changelog file with all the commits in it (i'm using --commmit-limit false).

However, no matter how I cut it (create new tags before v.5.0.0, bumping starting-version higher, etc), it always creates a huge 3MB CHANGELOG.md file because it takes the commit specified with --starting-version and puts the entire git history there.

@cookpete
starting version is ignored with my config

        "commitLimit": false,
        "unreleased": true,
        "releaseSummary": true,
        "tagPattern": "ui-kit_\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+$",
        "issuePattern": "^PROJ-\\d+",
        "starting-version": "ui-kit_4.0.0",
        "ignoreCommitPattern": "^(Changelog|Merge pull request)",

I got from first to the last tags, but I expect from ui-kit_4.0.0 (or from next) to the last

Options in the package.json need to be camelCase, like all the other options in your example. This is in the readme:

You can set any option in package.json under the auto-changelog key, using camelCase options.

Oh, yeah, sorry :)
