Phalcon Windows 3.3.2 Validator broken?

First time posting, so sorry if the formatting isn't clean.

I am trying to follow a tutorial, and I've checked the docs, and they both agree that this is how the Validators should be structured, but I'm still having this problem. Here's the Validators in question:

    $this->validate(new \Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Validator\Email([
          'field' => 'email'
        , 'message' => 'Invalid email'
    ]));
    $this->validate(new \Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Validator\Uniqueness([
          'field' => 'email'
        , 'message' => 'Email already in use'
    ]));
    $this->validate(new \Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Validator\StringLength([
          'field' => 'password'
        , 'max' => '50'
        , 'max' => '4'
        , 'messageMaximum' => 'Must be 50 characters or less'
        , 'messageMinimum' => 'Must be 4 characters or more'
    ]));

My problem is, according to the docs, all the objects above implement the "Phalcon\Mvc\Model\ValidatorInterface", but when my code hits these validators, I get "Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Phalcon\Mvc\Model::validate() must implement interface Phalcon\ValidationInterface". Am correct in assuming this is a bug in the library I'm using, and not my code?

Hi @FluidMind the problem is very simple. \Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Validator namespace has changed by \Phalcon\Validator\Validator check new docs

Good luck

ok, namespace changed per docs....Validator\Validator isn't the correct path, but Validation\Validator could be...Here's the validators now:

    $this->validate(new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\Email([
          'field' => 'email'
        , 'message' => 'Invalid email'
    ]));
    $this->validate(new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\Uniqueness([
          'field' => 'email'
        , 'message' => 'Email already in use'
    ]));
    $this->validate(new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\StringLength([
          'field' => 'password'
        , 'max' => '50'
        , 'min' => '4'
        , 'messageMaximum' => 'Must be 50 characters or less'
        , 'messageMinimum' => 'Must be 4 characters or more'
    ]));

But I got "Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to Phalcon\Mvc\Model::validate() must implement interface Phalcon\ValidationInterface, instance of Phalcon\Validation\Validator\Email"

No no no. you need to create Validation object like this:

public function validation()
{
    $validation = new Validation();
     $validation->add('email', new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\Email([
        , 'message' => 'Invalid email'
    ]));
    $validation->add('email', new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\Uniqueness([
        , 'message' => 'Email already in use'
    ]));
    $validation->add('password', new \Phalcon\Validation\Validator\StringLength([
        , 'max' => '50'
        , 'min' => '4'
        , 'messageMaximum' => 'Must be 50 characters or less'
        , 'messageMinimum' => 'Must be 4 characters or more'
    ]));

    return $this->validate($validation);
}
