Plan for 8.0.0-alpha release

Whoops, "Update the project page" was already in the "General todo tasks", so I've moved 📌 Update the project page Active there instead. I'm also linking 🌱 [Meta] Roadmap for a stable release with security coverage Active in the issue summary.

(I'm editing the issue so d.o rebuilds caches for this page and updates the issue link backgrounds to indicate the status)

Confirmed we've same issue as 🐛 The whole index gets cleared/deleted when any change in the search index configuration is imported/synced Needs work . So replaced it on summary with 📌 The whole index gets cleared when any change in the search index configuration is imported Active .

Moved 📌 The whole index gets cleared when any change in the search index configuration is imported Active to Nice to have, since the feature is same as in 8.x-7.x. Added related issue ✨ Support Aliases API and zero downtime mapping updates Active to list. We could leave these also for next alpha/beta release.

We should aim that elasticsearch_connector 8.0.x is also compatible with Elasticsearch 7. Noticed that Health API (used on tests at https://git.drupalcode.org/project/elasticsearch_connector/-/blob/8.0.x/...) is not present on Elasticsearch 7-branch https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/health-a...
Since this affects only on tests this does not require any further steps.

Updated issue summary to mention 📌 Add index to AlterSettingsEvent for backward compatibility Active

Added 📌 WSOD if search_api 1.35 is installed Fixed to issues blocking a release.

I'll make a release for alpha1, so it will be easier to adapt to new version. Lets make another issue for beta release and move the remaining tasks to that.

Awesome, thanks @sokru!
