Upgrade DateFolders Package for Umbraco v14 Compatibility

[YoussefDarwish0]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, the DateFolders package currently supports up to Umbraco v13, and I am encountering compatibility issues when attempting to use it with Umbraco v14. This is problematic as the package is essential for organizing content by date in our Umbraco backoffice, significantly aiding content editors in managing articles and blog posts efficiently.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the DateFolders package to be upgraded for compatibility with Umbraco v14. This would involve updating the necessary code to function seamlessly with the new version, ensuring that all existing functionalities such as automatic folder creation, content movement based on date edits, and automatic cleanup of empty folders continue to work as intended.

Describe alternatives you've considered
As an alternative, I've considered manually implementing similar functionality directly within our project or using a different package, but neither solution is as efficient or robust as updating the DateFolders package. The current package perfectly aligns with our needs, and an update would be the most beneficial solution.

Additional context
Any guidance on making the necessary code adjustments myself would be greatly appreciated if an official update is not yet planned.

Hi @YoussefDarwish0 !! Thank you for reaching out! I've forwarded this to the team and I'm awaiting a response from them. I will let you know as soon as I know more.

My coworker @BramvdBogaard Is currently looking into this and attempting a naïve approach by simply upgrading the package dependencies and fixing the build issues. More updates will follow, hopefully somewhere in the next 2 weeks.

@YoussefDarwish0 a new beta version of the package has just been released. As far as we can see everything is working well but we would love it if you could try it out and give feedback in case you run into something. We'll keep it in beta until it has been tested some more and then release version 14.0.0.

@BramvdBogaard Okay that's really great news. I'll test it out as soon as possible and let you know. Looking forward to the potential release of version 14.0.0!
