3.30.0

Critical changes:

• We are planning to remove functionality in CumulusCI's dependency management in a future release.

  • The update_dependencies task will no longer support uninstalling managed packages in a persistent org as part of the dependency installation process.

  • The allow_newer option on update_dependencies will be removed and always be True.

  • The project__dependencies section in cumulusci.yml will no longer support nested dependencies specified like this ::

    dependencies:
    - namespace: "test"
    version: "1.0"
    dependencies:
    - namespace: "parent"
    version: "2.2"

  All dependencies should be listed in install order.

  We recommend reformatting nested dependencies and discontinuing use of allow_newer and package uninstalls now to prepare for these future changes.

Changes:

• We released a new suite of documentation for CumulusCI.
• CumulusCI now caches org describe data in a local database to provide significant performance gains, especially in generate_dataset_mapping.
• The cci org browser command now has a --path option to open a specific page and a --url-only option to output the login URL without spawning a browser.
• We improved messaging about errors while loading cumulusci.yml.
• CumulusCI now uses Snowfakery 1.6 (see its release notes).
