entity_share 8.x-3.0-beta1

The 8.x-3.0-beta1 release is mainly a rework of the authentication system to introduce a plugin system allowing you to choose which method you want to use to authenticate on the server website. You can also find some bug fixes, new features and improvements.

Previously only basic HTTP and anonymous authentications were possible. Now we also have a support of Oauth 2 (we recommend to use the Simple OAuth (OAuth2) & OpenID Connect module) for improved security and a support of authentication with a special header.

Important note: in the process of improved security, credentials are no more stored directly in the remote config entity but in local storage (key/value) or with the Key module (optional integration). So even if there is an update path for that, you will probably have to rework the credentials management on your project manually. For example if you used configuration overrides in settings.php, this will no more be possible (except if you use a config storage for a key).
