Description

If the date is not specified for a release, "null" is displayed in the header of that release. For example, the header text for release 1.0.0 is "Release 1.0.0 - null".
Note that the date is correctly left empty in the release table.

My suggestion is that if no date is specified, the header text should just be "Release x.x.x". No dash and obviously no "null" text.

The method that needs to be updated is ChangesReportGenerator.constructReleases(). I believe that release.getDateRelease() returns null which is converted to the "null" text string.
An simple fix would be to check if it returns null.
