v4.0.0 Feature Release

4.0.0 (12/10/2021)

Note: Major release version updated purely out of abundance of caution.

Internal dependency on Google Guava was removed. Functionally nothing about this library's
API has changed as a result of removing this dependency. However, if you were making use of Google Guava via a transitive
dependency previously provided by this library, you will need to update your project to include this dependency directly.

New Features

• Update /connector/<connector name>/restart requests to support the includeTasks and onlyFailed parameters added in Kafka-Connect version 3.0.0.

Internal Dependency Updates

• Removed Google Guava as a dependency.
• com.fasterxml.jackson.core from 2.12.2 -> 2.13.0.
