Octopus August Release 3.16

In the August 2017 release of Octopus Deploy, several enhancements were introduced, notably the removal of the Mono framework requirement for deploying to SSH targets, which simplifies deployment to platforms like Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and macOS. This change is facilitated by the introduction of a self-contained Calamari built with .NET Core 2.0, although it's marked as a beta feature due to .NET Core's preview status. The release also includes an upgrade of ScriptCS to version 0.17.1, offering modernized scripting capabilities in C#, albeit with some breaking changes. Additionally, an Okta authentication provider was added to streamline identity management integration, thanks to a community contribution by Brent Montague. A necessary update for Let's Encrypt integration was also highlighted, addressing issues with API call handling that affected certificate renewals. Users are advised to check release notes for breaking changes, especially those using C# scripts, and to allocate time for post-install data fixes during the upgrade process.
