NOTE: This pre-release version of the Tanzu CLI is recommended if one is expected to install and use any CLI plugin that leverages an experimental feature in v1.3.0-alpha.1 version of the tanzu plugin runtime to specify how to map the plugin's command to an alternate location. New in alpha.3 is that the CLI now supports mapping not just the entire group of commands of the plugin, but specific subcommands as well.

Usability improvements in several commands including tanzu plugin list, and tanzu plugin sync user experience.
Versions of plugins discovered via a CLI context will be shown as "Recommended" version in the plugin list.

Last but not least, user of the previous alpha.2 pre-release should receive a notitification to update to a this release.
This update notication will become a mainstay in future pre-releases and releases as well.
