8.0.0

[jeromegamez]

Security improvements

• Added #[SensitiveParameter] attributes to methods handling sensitive data (passwords, tokens, private keys)
  to prevent them from appearing in stack traces and error logs.

Breaking changes

• The SDK supports only actively supported PHP versions. As a result, support for PHP < 8.3 has been dropped;
  supported versions are 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5.
• Firebase Dynamic Links was shut down on August 25th, 2025
  and has been removed from the SDK.
• Deprecated classes, methods and class constants have been removed.
• Method arguments are now fully type-hinted
• Type declarations have been simplified to reduce runtime overhead (e.g., Stringable|string to string).
• The transitional Kreait\Firebase\Contract\Transitional\FederatedUserFetcher::getUserByProviderUid() method
  has been moved into the Kreait\Firebase\Contract\Auth interface
• Realtime Database objects considered value objects have been made final and readonly
• psr/log has been moved from runtime dependencies to development dependencies
• Kreait\Firebase\Contract\Messaging::BATCH_MESSAGE_LIMIT constant has been removed
• Exception codes are no longer preserved when wrapping exceptions
• Kreait\Firebase\Messaging\CloudMessage builder methods have been renamed to follow the with* pattern:
  toToken() -> withToken(), toTopic() -> withTopic(), toCondition() -> withCondition().
  The old methods are deprecated but still available as aliases.

See UPGRADE-8.0 for more details on the changes between 7.x and 8.0.
