[GraphHopper] 0.4 Release Candidate 1

[Peter]

Hi together,

we've created the first release candidate for GraphHopper 0.4. It will
appear soon in maven central:

<groupId>com.graphhopper</groupId>
<artifactId>graphhopper</artifactId>
<version>0.4.0-RC1</version>

or use this repo URL directly:
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/com/graphhopper/graphhopper/

There were many smaller and bigger issues
<https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues?q=is%3Aissue+milestone%3A0.4+is%3Aclosed>
and bugs fixed and some new features implemented - more details
including contributors will follow soon. The refactoring is written down
in the core/files/changelog.txt to make moving to 0.4 easier.

Other components that got an update:

  * GraphHopper Maps <https://graphhopper.com/maps/> (aka gmaps ;)) will
    be updated using the latest version. The car profile is already
    deployed, including the new roundabout instruction
    <https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=52.50401%2C13.408706&point=52.505734%2C13.412418&locale=de&layer=Lyrk>.
    The other profiles will follow in the next ~20 hours.
  * Our iOS version <https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper-ios>
    will be updated soon
  * The map matching <https://github.com/graphhopper/map-matching>
    component is also available as 0.4.0-RC1
  * The standalone Java client
    <https://github.com/graphhopper/directions-api-java-client> for the
    Web API (e.g. for our Directions API) is also released as 0.4.0-RC1
  * The website got a (partial) German translation
    <https://graphhopper.com/index_de.html>

Please try it out and give us early feedback!

Also there is a 100% offline JavaScript routing solution
<https://github.com/konsoletyper/graphhopper> based on TeaVM and
GraphHopper. Let us know if you would be interested to upgrade or even
maintain this, here
<https://karussell.wordpress.com/2014/05/04/graphhopper-in-the-browser-teavm-makes-offline-routing-via-openstreetmap-possible-in-javascript/>
you can find background information. Would be really appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Peter from the GraphHopper Team
