ldap 8.x-3.0-beta1

This release includes a large number of corrections and refactoring and basically no new functionality.

Important: Your setup will no longer work unless you run the database updates.

Known limitations:

• You cannot install ldap_user with a default language other than English. Switch your site before installing this module, see also https://www.drupal.org/node/2837074
• Some users have reported problems with getting group and authentication information working but we have been unable to track down the source of the problem: https://www.drupal.org/node/2848912
• ldap_authentication produces an error message during cache clearing, see: https://www.drupal.org/node/2861767
• If you use authorization, you will likely want to use the patches in these issues:
  • https://www.drupal.org/node/2849438
  • https://www.drupal.org/node/2849865
• Test coverage is still very limited and thus regressions are more likely than we would like.
