Jul 1, 2026

July 2026 monthly summary for Azure/azure-cli-extensions focused on delivering a breaking-change enhancement to the Azure Migrate extension. The work centered on clarifying the API by renaming the command parameter from --protected-item-id to --target-object-id, updating all related documentation, parameter definitions, error messages, and unit tests, and bumping the version to 3.0.0b5 to reflect the breaking change. Despite no separate high-severity bug fixes, the changes included addressing a customer-reported issue related to ambiguity in the parameter naming and ensuring test coverage around the new parameter. Additional internal improvements included import fixes and setup adjustments to support the rename. Key updates touched the migrate command surface and project scaffolding, enabling a smoother migration path and clearer developer/customer expectations for future changes.
