Ember CLI Deploy Manifest Generator

ember-cli-deploy-manifest is an Ember CLI Deploy plugin designed to generate a manifest file during the application's build process. This manifest lists all versioned asset files, enabling deployment plugins like ember-cli-deploy-s3 to perform efficient, differential uploads. By comparing the current manifest with a previously deployed one, the plugin identifies only the changed files, reducing upload times and bandwidth usage significantly. The current stable version is 3.0.0, released in June 2023. This plugin operates within the ember-cli-deploy ecosystem, specifically implementing `configure` and `willUpload` hooks. Its release cadence appears to be tied to major ember-cli-deploy ecosystem updates or breaking changes in underlying dependencies, with major versions typically several years apart. Its primary differentiator is its integral role in optimizing asset deployments for Ember applications using the `ember-cli-deploy` toolchain.
