Automatic superseded task cleanup

Octopus Deploy introduces a feature to manage superseded tasks in continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, aiming to enhance efficiency by automatically canceling redundant deployments. This occurs when multiple deployments are queued for the same project and environment, with newer tasks rendering older ones unnecessary. By canceling superseded tasks before they start, Octopus accelerates deployments, reduces feedback cycles, and optimizes resource use, while ensuring that tasks already in progress are not interrupted. Additionally, this feature includes an option to cancel running tasks awaiting external approvals, such as pull request merges, to further streamline processes. These settings are enabled by default for new projects but can be customized for individual project requirements, with detailed documentation available for users seeking more information.
