Cake: Arguments missing for Octopus Deploy tool
Octopus Deploy provides the tool Octo.exe, which is integrated into Cake under the Cake.Common.Tools.OctopusDeploy namespace. One feature that the tool provides is to deploy the latest release from a selected channel (using options _--channel "Beta" --version latest_).
The thing is that not every option is currently available through Cake, such as the _channel_ option, so one has to resort to invoking Octo.exe directly. It would be nice if this option, and maybe others, could be added to OctopusDeployReleaseDeploymentSettings.

Instead of resorting to calling Octo.exe directly you could always use ArgumentCustomization on OctopusDeployReleaseDeploymentSettings as a workaround.
That said. Are you in a position to submit a PR for adding Channel and Version/ReleaseNumber to OctopusDeployReleaseDeploymentSettings?

That's a nice workaround. I will test it and if it works I will be submitting a PR with the Channel option.
