When updating to 8.x-3.x from 8.x-2.x, there is no automated upgrade path. Site owners will need to manually verify and update their site configuration. In most cases, only minor changes will be required.
The difference between the two branches is that 8.x-3.x supports JSON objects and arrays and 8.x-2.x does not. As a result, the config values must now be formatted as valid JSON.
This release brings in several stability updates, bug fixes and new features. Review RELEASENOTES.htm for full list of changes. Requires PHP 7.2+ and Drupal 8.7+
