What's new

Refer here to the changelog.

Breaking change of the V2:

• Removed support of the Application Insights API keys deprecated by Microsoft
• You now need to use the Azure Login action before the use of this action to handle the Azure authentication
• The v1 of the action will stop to work by 31 August 2024 due to this depreciation

Official libs azure-actions-appservice-rest and azure-actions-webclient used by Microsoft in their own actions are now used.
