purge 8.x-3.0

Hello there!,

Exactly 6 years, 2 months, 19 days since the first commit for the D8 version of purge, I'm extremely excited to present the first stable release of the project - version 8.x-3.0. Not only brings this stable version a guarantee of functional stability, it also brings much anticipated security coverage.

This release carries very little functional difference compared to -beta8, but marks the module as fully Drupal 9-ready and brings a vast amount of quality and test improvements along with it.

Added

• Improvement: added more tags to the default blacklist of the core tags queuer: config:core.extension, extensions, config:purge, config:field.storage.

Changed

• Important: Purge now requires Drupal 8 to be updated to a recent stable version, which is 8.8.6. This requirement supports the ongoing commitment to stability, quality and functional equivalent on Drupal 8, while paving the way for equal Drupal 9 quality with a single codebase.
• Important: Purge now requires at least PHP 7.2 or newer.
• Important: Drush 8 legacy wrappers have been removed.

Fixed

• D9 support: Various little fixes have been made to run smooth on D9.
• Improvement: Code quality has been brought up to date (D9 readiness).
• Improvement: Rewrote the entire UI testsuite to pass (D9 readiness).
• Improvement: Rewrote the entire kernel testsuite to pass (D9 readiness).

Happy 9th celebration Drupal!
