+## [4.2.0] - 2024-05-20
+
+### Changed
+
+- Remove `allow_failure: true` from `commitlint` and `commitlint-hotfix` jobs.
+  This behaviour is no longer desirable as we've built our whole `release-it`
+  process around the `conventionalcommits` specification. It's now more
+  beneficial for these jobs to fail by default.
