This is a major release and contains breaking changes.
Most important changes to be aware of for this release:
* All code is now namespaced. Though there is a full backward compatibility layer available and the old class names are still supported, using them will generate a deprecation notice (which can be silenced by plugins if they'd need to support multiple WP versions). See the [https://requests.ryanmccue.info/docs/upgrading.html upgrade guide] for more details.
* A lot of classes have been marked `final`. This should generally not affect userland code as care has been taken to not apply the `final` keyword to classes which are known to be extended in userland code.
* Extensive input validation has been added to Requests. When Requests is used as documented though, this will be unnoticable.
* A new `WpOrg\Requests\Requests::has_capabilities()` method has been introduced which can be used to address #37708.
* A new `WpOrg\Requests\Response::decode_body()` method has been introduced which may be usable to simplify some of the WP native wrapper code.
* Remaining PHP 8.0 compatibility fixed (support for named parameters).
* PHP 8.1 compatibility.

While some of the changes in the `1.8.0` release have already been copied to WordPress Core in earlier releases (see [38727], [46258], [47902] and [49382]), this release contains additional improvements, including:
- A significant performance fix when using cURL.
- Improved compliance with RFC2616.
