v8.0.0

AlchemyCMS 8.0.0

This is a major release with significant new features, architectural improvements, and modernization of the admin interface compared to the 7.4 series.

Highlights

🌙 Dark Theme Support

A complete dark theme has been added to the admin interface (#3251), with separate CSS bundles for light and dark themes (#3379).
The UI now uses CSS custom properties instead of Sass variables for theming (#3242).

📦 Active Storage Support

Alchemy now supports Active Storage as an alternative to Dragonfly for file storage (#3283).
The Dragonfly integration has been extracted into an adapter pattern, making it easy to switch between storage backends (#3278).

⚙️ Type-Safe Configuration

A new DSL-based configuration system with type-safe options has been introduced (#3178).
Configuration options are now accessed via Alchemy.config accessors instead of hash keys (#3275).

📋 Definition Models

Page layouts, element definitions, and ingredient definitions have been converted to ActiveModel classes (#3263, #3264, #3266), providing better encapsulation and validation.

🔍 Advanced Filtering with Ransack

The admin interface now uses Ransack for filtering resources (#3215), with support for date/time pickers (#3231) and custom format validations (#3225).
