This upgrade to version 1.4.2 introduces a significant environment change and potential breaking code changes.

Key Changes:

• Java Version Requirement: The 1.4.x branch requires Java 11 or higher, whereas the previous 1.3.x branch required Java 8. Your application's runtime environment must be on Java 11 or a later version.
• Removal of Deprecated Methods: The 1.4.0 release cycle included the removal of methods that were previously marked as deprecated. Code using these methods will need to be updated.
• Package Name Changes: The library is transitioning its package name from com.lowagie to org.openpdf. While the full transition happens in later versions, this change begins in the 1.4.x series.

Recommendation:
Before merging, verify that your production environment and build pipeline use Java 11 or newer. Review your code to ensure it is not using any methods that were deprecated in version 1.3.26, as they have likely been removed.
