3.0.0

Release Notes for 3.0.0

This release includes a significant number of breaking changes for the following primary reasons:

• Decouple from MVC and any other unnecessary dependencies
• General modernisation of the codebase and quality improvements
• Explicit state handling to ensure safety when used in cli based apps (Roadrunner, Swoole, Franken PHP, et al)
• Better type inference for consumers
• Service Manager v4 Support (finally)

For full details on BC breaks, please read the migration guide at:
