Description: 

To improve performance, the Menu link process plugin now returns an entity based URI if possible, i.e. entity:node/1. Previously, an internal URI was returned even for entity links, i.e., internal:/node/1. Internal URIs are still returned for all non-entity links, i.e. internal:/some/other/path.

Before

process:
    plugin: internal_uri
    source:
      - link_path

After

    plugin: link_uri
    source:
      - link_path
