Task Changelog

Changelog for Task Frends.AzureDataLake.DeleteContainer.

[2.0.0] - 2026-08-11

Changed

• Breaking change: Removed ThrowErrorIfContainerDoesNotExist option. Container-not-found is now treated as a regular failure and handled by ThrowErrorOnFailure (throws an exception by default, or returns a failed Result when set to false).
• Upgraded target framework from .NET 6 to .NET 8.
• Added ThrowErrorOnFailure and ErrorMessageOnFailure options: you can now control whether the task throws an exception on failure or returns a result with error details.
• The task result now includes Success and Error properties to reflect the outcome of the operation more clearly.
