4.0.0

Moving forward

This is the first release to be built exclusively for java 17. Java 17 features are now allowed in our source code and we will no longer support older versions of java. We've also updated dependencies to fix security issues. There are several small bug fixes as well.

JSON dependency:

We've dropped the MJSON library which was no longer being updated and replaced it with a similarly small json library from org.json
