fix: clean up changelog, downgrade conventional-changelog-cli to v2

[patak-dev]

Description

There seems to be a regression in conventional-changelog-cli@3. It didn't detect the last released version and it re-generated the whole changelog from vite 2. @brc-dd had the same issue in VitePress. Let's downgrade for now.

@patak-dev
hey guys, I've also noticed some kind of regression in Lerna-Lite, that I maintain, when I tried to upgrade all conventional-changelog packages to their new major versions (Lerna/Lerna-Lite uses a few of their packages). I didn't have time to investigate much but from what I could find so far, I can no longer use ESM dynamic imports with conventional-changelog-angular, basically this code await import('conventional-changelog-angular') now fails with Vitest but does not fail in previous version (not sure if it works outside of Vitest) and I'm assuming you guys probably have the same kind of problem and I also downgraded for that reason all their packages for that reason.

If you find a way to fix it, please reference it in this issue so that I can apply it on my side too, thanks

EDIT
Actually I might have misread since your issue seems different than mine. BTW, their biggest change was to remove the Q library and go with native Promise.

EDIT 2

So in my case, the issue I had was with Vitest when running unit tests, I had opened an issue on the Vitest project
vitest-dev/vitest#3705

and a fix was pushed and I also had to use this setting (as per sheremet-va comment)

For your case, you can just disable deps.interopDefault. But I will look into it more

I don't have the issue that was identified in this PR but still, I was able to move forward :)

Cheers and ❤️ Vite/Vitest 🚀

@patak-dev @bluwy Hi. Could you please try this to solve issue with conventional-changelog-cli@3 ?

[brc-dd]

@dangreen Yeah with conventional-changelog-writer: 6.0.1 it works fine.

If you will have other issues with conventional-changelog feel free to ping me.

Thanks for the update. The upgrade PR is at #13634 and we'll merge in some time next week during the Vite v5 beta to test it out again.

Thanks @dangreen, we merged the upgraded version. It looks good in a dry run now.
