Release 2.2.4

[alganet]

The Respect team is proud to announce the release of Respect\Validation 2.24 🐼 This version is also already available on packagist.

This is a dusting-off release with most of the PRs since 2.2.3 being merged, compatibility for newer PHP versions adjusted and a new lead maintainer (@alganet, which is the original author).

It is expected that 2.2.4 will be the last release of the 2.2.x series.

Feedback and bug reports are highly appreciated. Feel free to get in touch either via Issues or Discussions.

Happy Validatin'

• CHANGELOG.md is being written once again to provide an overview
  of active changes to the API and codebase.

Versioning Changes:

• Dropped PHP 7.3 support.

• Zend Framework façade validators are no longer supported and were
  removed.
