Description:
The configuration "staging" directory has been renamed to "sync" to not be confused with staging environments.
Existing Drupal 8 installation will use a fallback to the old "staging" name and so are not impacted directly. New sites will be installed with the new default.
Related changes
Constant CONFIG_STAGING_DIRECTORY was deprecated.
Use CONFIG_SYNC_DIRECTORY instead.
Core service config.storage.staging was deprecated and is now an alias.
Use config.storage.sync instead.
Internal API change:
\Drupal\Core\Config\FileStorageFactory::getStaging() is renamed to getSync(). No code should use this directly anyway -- instead, use the service above.
Impacts:
Site builders, administrators, editors
