# Terragrunt 0.96

This overview applies to target Terragrunt versions of at least 0.96.

## Destroy and delegated commands

Breaking behavioural change: dependency checks during destroy became opt-in through `--destroy-dependencies-check`; `--no-destroy-dependencies-check` was deprecated.

Terragrunt's `run` command stopped validating delegated OpenTofu or Terraform command names. The deprecated `--disable-command-validation` flag became unnecessary.

## Experiments

Experimental: `--experimental-engine` became an alias for `--experiment=iac-engine`, with `--no-engine` as the explicit override.

Experimental: `--dependency-fetch-output-from-state` became an alias for the experiment of the same name, with `--no-dependency-fetch-output-from-state` as the override.

Experimental: `filter-flag` added newline-delimited `--filters-file`, automatic `.terragrunt-filters` loading, and `--no-filters-file` to suppress filter files.
