Understanding all of the new releases (versions 3, 4, and 5) #168

My apologies for posting an issue but I couldn't find any source of information on this. The http://neuronrobotics.com/ website now redirects to a new domain, and I don't see any information there about the library.

There are recent 3.x.x, 4.x.x, and 5.x.x releases. Are they all still supported? What are the differences between these branches and how should one select among them?

It's great to see that this project is active, and I want to make the best choice when upgrading from 3.15.0. Thanks for any information.

4.x was a fork to support java11. the 5x brings the java 11 fixed upstream into a single release that is compiled for java 8 but also supports changes in the jdk in java 11.
