Hyrax v5.0.0 Released

[dlpierce]

Hyrax v5 is the culmination of effort over the past several years by numerous members of the Samvera community to convert Hyrax to use Valkyrie and move away from ActiveFedora. There have been over 1200 commits since Hyrax v4, but the effort began well before that release. Thank you everyone who has contributed to this massive effort!

When generating a new Hyrax application, Valkyrie is now the default. Use of ActiveFedora is deprecated and will be removed in a future major release. Hyrax v5 is intended to be the bridge with which existing repositories can migrate their data. Postgres is the supported Valkyrie persistence adapter in v5.0. The Fedora 6 adapter is still experimental, and will be promoted to supported in a forthcoming v5.x release along with improved migration tooling.

This release also raises the minimum supported version of Ruby to 3.2 and Rails to 6.1.
