8.4.0

Full Changelog

Notable changes

BLT's default settings files have been moved out of the project template and into vendor/acquia/blt/settings. This may be a backwards incompatible change for your project, requiring manual modification of settings.php and your project's custom settings files. As a result of this change, you must move acquia/blt from require-dev to require in your composer.json file.

Any default value defined in BLT's default settings file may still be overridden in your own custom settings.php file.

Implemented enhancements:

• local-sync.xml tasks should use drush instead of exec and aliases #56
• Bolt should adhere to verbose options and not hardcode them #36
• Removing extraneous base.settings.php. #367 (grasmash)
• Fixes #36, #56: Making DrushTask conform to Phing verbosity. Converting instances to . #366 (grasmash)
