rift 2.0.0-alpha1

The 2.x-dev branch has been in the works for a while, and it’s finally ready for real-world testing.

This release focuses on making the module more developer-friendly, with an emphasis on extensibility and support for contrib-based enhancements.

For site builders:
Upgrading should be smooth, with no breaking changes expected.

For developers who use Rift classes or interact with the module through custom code:
This version introduces breaking changes. If you’re relying on the 1.x API, it’s best to stay on 1.x for now until the 2.x API reaches stability.

2.0.0-alpha1

Breaking Changes

• Remove deprecated rift_starter_kit module (info.yml is retained to allow clean un-installation)

• Image field formatter – new rift_image field formatter for rendering image fields through the RIFT picture-element pipeline
• Third-party settings in FieldFormatter – field formatters now support third-party settings (Issue #3533700)
