Looks good. Will we have to update the changelog?

[vincentsarago]

thanks @jonhealy1

I'm off today so feel free to merge/release this 3.0 version 🥳

Should we purge the pre-releases from this changelog? All of the changes that took place between 2.5.5.post1 and 3.0.0 would be moved to the 3.0.0 section. This could make it easier to highlight the changes that took place between the major releases?

we could replicate them or maybe copy/paste them in the migration guide and then add a reference to the guide in the changelog 🤷
