-Most features have been carried forward and improved upon. However, some features did not make the cut:
 - **`sftp` is no longer supported**. If you have `sftp` access you are using `ssh`, that means you have access to a much more modern and capable protocol. I plan on releasing a separate github action that will deploy over `sftp`/`ssh` using `rsync`. Until then you can continue using version 3.
 - The `include` argument has been removed. I didn't see much need for it in the initial release. If you need this feature please create a support ticket.
