Java 4.0.0 Draft release

[antusus]

In January 2023 we will release a major Box Java SDK update.

The most important change this release includes is the replacement of the HTTP library from a native one to
OkHttp which allows SDK to

• Support the HTTP2 version of the HTTP protocol.
• Support proxies that do not use only basic authentication method. For details on creating custom proxy authenticators and an example of
  NTLM proxy authentication, see here.

Additionally, we are removing the following deprecated APIs from SDK:

• BatchAPIRequest – is no longer supported by the SDK
• BoxAPIConnection#DEFAULT_MAX_ATTEMPTS is replaced with BoxAPIConnection#DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES
• BoxRedirectResponse – was removed and will not be replaced
• BoxEvent.Type is replaced with EventType
• Removing deprecated methods from BoxFile, BoxFileVersionRetention, BoxFolder, BoxGroup, BoxGroupMembership, BoxItem, BoxRetentionPolicy, BoxTask, BoxUser, BoxWebLink, EventLog, Metadata and MetadataTemplate

You can preview the changes here.
