3.0.0

Note that this is a major release of ClassifAI that restructures most of the codebase and will have some breaking changes. If you're extending ClassifAI in any way, please ensure you fully test those integrations prior to running this update on production. For more details on what is changing, see the migration guide.

Due to this restructuring, settings are now stored slightly differently. For any existing ClassifAI users, these settings should automatically be migrated but you'll want to verify all of your settings and resave each of them in order to ensure they are set properly.

This release also updates the Azure AI Vision API to v3.2 from v3.0. We recommend changing your threshold for the Descriptive Text Generator Feature to be around 55%, down from the previous recommendation of 75%.
