LocationTech GeoMesa 4.0.0

4.0.0

Description

GeoMesa 4.0.0 is mainly focused on upgrading dependencies and removing deprecated functionality. GeoMesa tends to be conservative with dependency upgrades, to promote stability. However, that has caused a long list of CVEs to acrue, which we have now mitigated as much as possible. GeoMesa has also added support for Java 11 and 17. These upgrades necessitated a major version bump in accordance with semantic versioning.

Security Issues

This release updates many dependency versions to resolve CVEs against those dependencies.

Non-Code Aspects

User documentation and tutorials have been updated for this release. Older documentation and tutorials are archived and still available from the geomesa.org website.
