Release notes

Highlights
- onlyIfNotExists GA! (#17996)
@onlyIfNotExists()
resource onlyDeployIfNotExists 'Microsoft...' = {
name: 'example'
location: 'eastus'
properties: {
...
}
}
- [Experimental] Interactive bicep console command for REPL functionaltiy (#18152)
See Using the Console Command for additional information.
- [Experimental] Interactive bicep deploy, bicep what-if and bicep teardown commands (#18041, #18052, #18053, #18096, #18104)
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/da64f3a3-3c11-411b-94b6-6324f79af107
See Using the Deploy Commands for additional information and code samples.
- [Experimental] Add @validate() decorator for custom validation (#17804) - requires the userDefinedConstraints feature flag
@validate(x => startsWith(x, 'foo')) // <-- Accepts 'food' or 'fool' but causes the deployment to fail if 'booed' was supplied
param p string
- Add loadDirectoryFileInfo function (#17241) - thanks @GABRIELNGBTUC !
This function returns an array of objects for each file in the directory for you to use in your Bicep template.
var directoryInfo = loadDirectoryFileInfo('./directory')
var directoryInfoWildcard = loadDirectoryFileInfo('./directory', '*.txt')
- Add an explicit any type (#17848)
This PR adds a new ambient type symbol (any) to take advantage of "type" constraints being made optional in ARM's w34 release. Anywhere type syntax is expected, users can now supply any:
param foo any
output bar any = foo

func cowSay(toSay any) string => 'The cow says, "${toSay}"'
- Remove moduleIdentity experimental feature (#17909)
module mod './module.bicep' = {
identity: {
type: 'UserAssigned'
userAssignedIdentities: {
'${mid.id}': {}
}
}
}
