🆕🐥 First Timers Only

This issue is reserved for people who have never contributed to Hedera or any open source project in general.
We know that creating a pull request (PR) is a major barrier for new contributors.
The goal of this issue and all other issues labeled by 'Good First Issue' is to help you make your first contribution to Hedera.

👾 Description of the issue

The release.yml in the repository is a tool that automatically generates release notes for hedera-json-rpc-relay, currently covering PRs labeled as enhancement, bug, documentation, and dependencies. A new category for internal changes should be added to include PRs labeled as internal and possibly github_action.

Proposed Solution:

Update .github/release.yaml to include internal changes, as shown below:

changelog:
  exclude:
    labels: ['wontfix', 'question', 'duplicate', 'invalid']
  categories:
    - title: 'Enhancements'
      labels: ['enhancement']
    - title: 'Bug Fixes'
      labels: ['bug']
    - title: 'Documentation'
      labels: ['documentation']
    - title: 'Dependency Upgrades'
      labels: ['dependencies']
+   - title: 'Internal Changes'
+     labels: ['internal', 'github_action']

Example Implementation

Modify .github/release.yaml by adding a new category titled "Internal Changes" and associating it with internal and github_action labels.
