Breaking Changes

• 7738 - Octopus no longer supports custom authentication extensions. Read the blog for more details: https://octopus.com/blog/deprecating-authentication-extensions
• 8615 - Breaking change: Internal changes made to Kustomize step resulting in slight UI differences and OCL changes.
