Project: 
Drupal core
Introduced in branch: 
8.x
Issue links: 
https://www.drupal.org/node/1551626
Description: 

cron.php has been removed and replaced with a normal Drupal page callback. In practice this means that the URL for running cron is no longer:

7.x
http://example.com/cron.php?cron_key=YOUR_KEY_HERE

It is now:

8.x
http://example.com/cron/YOUR_KEY_HERE

Cron scripts will need to be updated accordingly.
