Lerna conventional commits do not respect '!' as denoting a breaking change when part of the 'types' on a conventional commit. Additionally, It seems like including the '!' may make lerna not recognize that commit as a valid conventional commit in some cases. This repo also highlights this problem.

EDIT: Looks like “BREAKING CHANGE:” is also not being respected.

Repro repo:
https://github.com/alexforsyth/lerna-conventional-commits

Expected Behavior

The generated changelog should list breaking changes, when a '!' is included on a type.

ex. 2 from conventional commits

refactor!: drop support for Node 6

Should be equal to using the BREAKING CHANGE: phrase in the footer.

Current Behavior

The generated changelog does not include the change when '!' is included on a type.

ex.

refactor!: drop support for Node 6
