How do you send releases to the customer?

Question

Programming

At my work, new application files, SQL scripts, documentation are archived, uploaded to ftp, and a link to the archive is sent to the customer. Accordingly, all documentation (with corrected defects, installation instructions, etc.) is written by hand, archiving and sending is also done manually.
Are there any automation tools, for example, with the following functionality: generating a list of defects fixed in a particular release from JIRA with substitution in a specific doc or pdf template, uploading new application files from the version control system and then sending them?

Why not use git? If the project is not open-source, instead of github, register on bitbucket, make a private repository (it is also possible on github, but private - for denyuzhku) and share it for the customer. The customer can download the latest versions, view all commits (changes), etc.
