@vvysotskyi It is a major version change of the dependency, but except for
the pom file changes, there are no other changes. It will be good to understand
what triggered a major version change (do release notes cover that?) and how it
may affect gis plugin. Also, there is another PR on the review related to gis,
can this change be combined with the other changes?---
