Fetch release notes from the Modal changelog.

This command prints changelog contents as markdown text and is useful for including information about recent updates in the context for agent development sessions.

By default, the most recent updates in the current release series are shown. Other options allow for showing changes since a previous version, changes in a specific version, or changes that are newer than what’s currently installed.

Examples:

    modal changelog --since 1.2.0  # Show updates added after a specific version
    
    modal changelog --since 2026-01-01  # Show updates added after a specific date
    
    modal changelog --newer  # Show updates released after the currently installed version
    
    modal changelog --last 3  # Show updates included in the 3 most recent releases
    
    modal changelog --for 1.3.1  # Show the changelog for a specific release
    ```
    
    Note: when using `--since` or `--last`, only changes up to the currently installed version are shown.
    
    **Usage**:
    
    ```shell
    modal changelog [OPTIONS]

**Options**:

*   `--last INTEGER`: Show the N most recent entries before the installed version.
*   `--since TEXT`: Show entries after a version (X.Y.Z) or date (YYYY-MM-DD), exclusive.
*   `--for TEXT`: Show entries for a version (X.Y.Z) or series (X.Y).
*   `--newer`: Show entries newer than the installed version.
*   `--all`: Show all entries.
*   `--json`: Output as JSON.
*   `--help`: Show this message and exit.
