2.5.0

Overview

We’re excited to announce the release of 2.5.0 of FakeXrmEasy!

The main highlight of this release is the support for bulk operations: Create, Update and UpsertMultiple and their implications across all the different packages in the framework.

Pretty significant updates were also introduced in pipeline simulation to support these new messages, specific bulk operation plugin interfaces, pre images post image collections, merged pipeline, and specific filtering attribute behavior.

In addition, we improved the pipeline simulation to correctly populate plugin depth and prevent infinite loops when some plugins might be calling each other.

Finally there are lots of other minor improvements and bug fixes you can see below.
