Change Log

v11.11 - Refactored revision manager to have more tests and support limiting the number of revisions. CollapseRevisions has been replaced by setting MaxRevisions to 1 and setting AttachRevisionHistory to true; MaxRevisions sets the maximum number of revisions that will be migrated. "First + Last*N = Max". If this was set to 5 and there were 10 revisions you would get the first 1 (creation) and the latest 4 migrated. This is done after all of the existing revisions are created but before anything newer that target is removed.
v11.10 - Added ability to limit the number of revisions migrated with MaxRevisions on WorkItemMigration processor. 0 = All, and any other number should migrate the first revision + the latest up to MAX.
v11.9 - Dark launch of Process migration by @akanieski
v11.9 - Dark launch of Pipelines & Builds migration by @tomfrenzel
v11.8 - As part of moving to the new architecture we moved to default newtonsoft type handling with $type properties instead of ObjectType To Migrate rename "ObjectType" to "$type" in your configuration!
v11.5 - Added more useful logging levels. Replace "TelemetryEnableTrace": false with "LogLevel": "Verbose" in the config. Verbose will only be logged to the logfile.
