Hello, I'm currently migrating some code to 8.3 and I was wondering whether the AbstractDriverModuleHook had been either deprecated or moved? In 8.1, it was under the group ID com.inductiveautomation.ignitionsdk, artifact ID driver-api and could be found in the com.inductiveautomation.xopc.driver.common package.

As far as I know you have to switch to the Device abstraction (`com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.opcua.server.api.AbstractDeviceModuleHook`), we've fully removed the 'Driver' abstraction from the public SDK.

It was deprecated in 8.1, and now removed. I have the same conversion to do for my drivers.
