[geomesa-users] GeoMesa 4.0.0 released

[Emilio Lahr-Vivaz <elahrvivaz@xxxxxxxx>]

The GeoMesa team here at CCRi is happy to announce a new major release, 
4.0.0. Artifacts are available from Maven Central[1] and on GitHub[2]. 
Users are encourage to upgrade when possible.

This release adds support for Java 11 and 17 and Scala 2.13, and 
includes many dependency version updates. In addition, GeoMesa now 
integrates with Apache Sedona for improved joins in Spark SQL.

Some less-used modules were dropped, as well as support for Scala 2.11.

For detailed information on all the changes, refer to the release 
notes[3] and the upgrade guide[4].

Thanks to all the people who have contributed to this release!

As always, feel free to be in touch with us on our mailing lists and Gitter.

Thanks,

Emilio
