6th Sept Status Update

What we got done this week

• Completed migration to the new upgrade test framework which has given us much higher confidence in our changes.
• Completed an audit of all possible high-impact breaking changes around the case-insensitive enums.
• Completed proof of concepts of using TransformFromState to auto-fix casing when upgrading to avoid replacements.
• Started writing tests for the most critical of resources affected. Found that a number of resources already fix their own state without us adding TransformFromState

What we’ll do next week

• Complete case sensitive enum testing for 8 more resources.
• Investigate the additional "superseded" resources to check if we can add additional aliases.
• Write our release notes.

Upcoming deliverable

• 12th September: PR ready for review
