How do I do an official release after a prerelease?

[tgoze]

I'm having trouble understanding how you would release a package after it has been published with the --prerelease-prefix option.

I would want all of my pre release changes inside my official release change log. For example, if I were to have several pre releases like 1.1.0-alpha.1 all the way to 1.1.0-alpha.5 and I went to do an official release I would want 1.1.0 to have all changes that the 5 alphas had. But the way beachball works is that is removes all changelogs when pre releasing... so when I go to do an official release, the publish command doesn't detect any changes and won't bump/publish my 1.1.0 version.

Is there something I'm missing here about expected workflow/design? Clarification/documentation on this would be very helpful.
