[ANN] Cayenne 4.1 goes final

Very excited to announce the final / GA release of Apache Cayenne 4.1! It is available on Maven central and as a download on cayenne.apache.org.

For the 4.0 users this is an exciting upgrade, offering an immediate and tangible performance boost (field-based data objects) and a new easy automated ORM workflow (modeler-based DB import). See this short video [1] for details. And here is a website announcement [2]. 

It's been "only" 2 years since 4.0 went final. Our GA cycles are shortening, and will hopefully shorten even further with 4.2.

Thanks to everyone who made it happen - developers, users, testers. We have an amazing community that sustained this project over the years! Looking forward to the new things that are happening in 4.2, and the plans beyond that.
