v19.5.0-rc3

[fballiano]

Highlights

This is a big release, that's why we decided to move away from the 19.4.x versioning and go to 19.5.x. Since a lot of changes could have some impact on current installations we decided to release some "rc" versions before the official 19.5.0. Tests are more than welcome now but be extra careful with production environment.

• What's most important is the removal of all the 3rd party libraries (phpseclib, mcrypt_compat, Cm_RedisSession, Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis and Pelago_Emogrifier and Zend Framework) form our repository, they are now imported via composer. This was an important step to clean up and modernise our code.
• PHP 7.4 is now the minimum required version and 8.2 is now supported
• M1 legacy themes have been moved to an external repository since it's old (and mostly unused) code.
• Support for Google Analytics 4 was added

Don't worry though, if you've always installed OpenMage extracting the zip file, starting from this release you'll find a new zip file attached to the release itself, we build this zip adding all of the old 3rd party libraries so that you will not have to migrate to composer or use composer at all.
