Breaking changes

This release includes the following breaking changes:

• There are some very slight changes to the format of the output returned by the Octopus.Server.exe show-configuration command. This functionality is unlikely to affect you, but if you are using this to drive automation, please test the new release before upgrading.
• To support some customers who have Active Directory configurations where users share email addresses, we have had to remove the uniqueness restriction on user email.
• Health check properties of machine policies have changed to accommodate Linux Tentacle. TentacleEndpointHealthCheckPolicy has been renamed to PowerShellHealthCheckPolicy and SshEndpointHealthCheckPolicy has been renamed to BashHealthCheckPolicy. Any custom tools that create machine policies should use the new property names.
• The SSH health check policy OnlyConnectivity configuration option is now a policy-wide setting. Raw scripting on SSH targets commonly uses this setting. If you are using this setting, Octopus will create a new machine policy during the upgrade. Please refer to this GitHub issue for details if this is relevant to you.
