NEW Release LEPTON 6.0.0

This release has mainly reworked LEPTON classes and functions to ensure future development and maintaining in upcoming PHP versions. It contains naturally some bugfixes and updated addons.

New classes and methods in additon enable easier and faster addon development.

LEPTON now requires PHP 8.x as a minimum ( PHP 8.1.x recommended) and is already tested with latest PHP 8.2.3

As always after code review some mandantory things changed in addons and templates. You should read the list of deprecated functions/methods/files in the docs to check which modifications you have to do in your addons or templates.

Please check your templates, there had been changes in the head section. Have a look at the delivered templates included in the package.

Also modules sometimes had to be modified. Please see if there are adapted modules available on LEPAdOr. Check your own modules with L* 6.0.0 and adapt them to the needs. If you run into problems use the forum for help.
