Releases for File metadata manager

This release drops support for Drupal below 10.1, and embraces PHP 8.1 and Symfony 6 features.

Strong typehinting

All methods in code are now strictly typehinted. This leads to more functional code, but metadata plugin implementations need to be adjusted to comply with the new interface contracts.

Changed lsolesen/pel dependency for fileeye/pel to support PHP 8.2.

This is the first ALPHA level release for File Metadata Manager 3.0, do not use in production.

Requirements

• The module *MUST* be installed using Composer, see Download contributed modules and themes using Composer.
• PHP 8.1 or higher
• Drupal 10.1.0 or higher

This release supports Drupal 10.

It also tests fine with PHP 8.2, with the exception of the pel/pel dependency 0.9.12 that requires a new release for full support, https://github.com/pel/pel/issues/206.

Changes

• Issue #3284129 by mondrake: Bump Drupal to ^9.3 | ^10 and cleanup deprecated functions
• Issue #3271212 by useernamee, mondrake, fago: Offset -1 not within [0, 5798]

This release provides update of dependencies, to support PHP 8.1.

The pel/pel package release 0.9.11 is now PHP 8.1 compatible.

Exif plugin - writing metadata disabled

Since release 0.9.10 file writing via pel/pel has been unstable. In order to prevent data corruption of image files, the Exif plugin metadata writing is disabled in this release. Please help upstream in solving https://github.com/pel/pel/issues/182.

This release fixes some issues and dependencies in order for the module to work with PHP 7.4. The minimum PHP version is 7.1.

This is the RELEASE CANDIDATE release for File Metadata Manager 8.x-2.0, do not use in production.
