Release v0.30.0 · zarf-dev/zarf

What's Changed

Due to the changes needed for image SHASUM parsing, newly built Zarf packages that contain images without a domain (i.e. from docker.io) will not work with older versions of Zarf (old packages are still forward compatible)
There have been many under-the-hood changes for library users to implement package sources, layouts, command prefixes and more that will require changes to integrate with.

Component Choice (the component group key) has been deprecated after gathering user feedback - it is recommended to migrate to composable components or another mechanism to build configurable packages.
The Zarf Web UI has been deprecated within the Zarf binary itself (zarf dev ui) and will be moved to a new project Zarf UI. This will allow the UI to have it's own lifecycle / direction outside of Zarf core.
