A truncated version of the release notes can be generated to accomodate limitations from certain services.

Website versioning

• At the location where the website is stored, a "versions" folder is created, in which a version-specific folder is created for the current version of the website being deployed
• The current version of the website is uploaded in the version folder
• The index page at the root of website is configured to redirect to the version folder
• Another index file is present in the versions folder, allowing access to all previous versions

This task currently only supports a website hosted in an Azure Storage account.
