 - Removed BruteforceProtection
 - Removed PreAuthenticatedAdminToken
 - [Logger] Bumped `monolog/monolog` to [^3.2](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog/blob/main/UPGRADE.md#300) and `symfony/monolog-bundle` to [^3.8](https://github.com/symfony/monolog-bundle/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#380-2022-05-10) (which adds support for monolog v3). Please adapt your custom implementation accordingly eg. log records are now `LogRecord` Objects instead of array.
+- `Pimcore\Tool\Console`: Deprecated methods `getSystemEnvironment()`, `execInBackground()` and `runPhpScriptInBackground()` have been removed, use `Symfony\Component\Process\Process` instead where possible. For long running background tasks (which should run even when parent process has exited), switch to a queue implementation.
 - [Ecommerce] The constructor of the indexing services (eg. `DefaultMysql`, `AbstractElasticSearch`) and related workers were changed to support the injection of monolog logger, please adapt your custom implementation.
 - [Bundles] 
   - Removed support for loading bundles through `extensions.php`.
