acquia_purge 8.x-1.0-beta2

I'm happy to announce version 8.x-1.0-beta2 of the Acquia Purge module for Drupal 8, the second release in the private beta phase. Progress is good and we have seen the first technical challenges on a few clients, leading to further improvements in this release. This version depends on purge 8.x-3.0-beta7 and won't work without it, so please update to 8.x-3.0-beta7.

Regressions and/or upgrade impact

• Upgrading users are expected to run drush cr to prevent getting: Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginException: Plugin (acquia_purge_cloud) instance class.

New Features

• NEW exciting diagnostic which detects basic HTTP authentication using shield or lines in .htaccess. Caches its results for two hours to prevent disk reads, with a crystal clear message.
• Implementation ported to Guzzle, showing great stability improvements.
• Gigantically improved error logging and debug capabilities. Using drush p-debug-en you can now quickly enable all of Purge's debug streams and use drush p-invalidate to test Acquia Purge's internal behavior, as much request and response info is logged as possible. Don't ever do this for longer than a minute on production systems!

Fixes / Improvements

• Merged AcquiaCloudCheck into AcquiaPurgeCheck to have less diagnostics floating around.
• Wildcard invalidations against HTTPS paths are now simply issued as HTTP as Varnish still matches this and reduces the risk on connection/cert errors drastically.
• Tags are now always grouped by sets of 15 tags to prevent headers from getting too long.
