**Backwards Compatibility Issues**

Please note that 887 introduces a subtle change to CLI behaviour. Previously, `rez-context --resolve`
would print a space-separated list of packages, even when piped to another process. Now however, if
the output is piped, it will print one package per line. This is an improvement, as it means you can
more easily chain `rez-context` with other utilities such as grep, xargs etc.
