ABRA TE 3.17.0 Release

Version 3.17.0 of ABRA TE for Java or .NET is now available for download!

This release again speeds up taxonomy loading and preparation for e.g. validation via

    factory.createPersistentTaxonomyBuilder(
        new TaxonomyConfig().prepareFor(
        TaxonomyPreprocess.INSTANCE_VALIDATION,
        TaxonomyPreprocess.FORMULA_PROCESSING));

For EBA 4.0 taxonomy we could see a more than 10 times faster loading compared to 3.16.0.
Therefore our persistent caches received a change. Please delete your persistent cache directories when you update.
Moreover we did a change which made it necessary to replace the class RelationElementFilter with RelationPredicate.
Additionally we updated several dependencies to a higher version.
