4.3.0-rc.1

Release candidate for 4.3.0.

Enhancements

• Make Action Scheduler usage optional at runtime: Stream now dispatches its deferred purge / reset work through a scheduler abstraction that defaults to Action Scheduler but can fall back to WP-Cron via add_filter( 'wp_stream_use_action_scheduler', '__return_false' ) (#1907)
• Add the wp_stream_enable_auto_purge filter (default true) to disable all TTL record auto-purge scheduling regardless of backend (#1907)
• Surface a warning on the WP-Cron fallback when a large-table purge or reset is queued (#1907)
• Guard the Action Scheduler require_once so environments that already provide or deliberately omit Action Scheduler no longer fatal on load (#1907)

Bug Fixes

• Log the WooCommerce order ID instead of the WC_Order object in order event records (#1929)
• Fix PHP 8.4 deprecation warnings (#1923)
• Fix PHPCS violations in the BuddyPress connector (#1925)

Development

• Refresh the readme.txt description, tags, and SEO copy (#1924)
