This is a minor feature and maintenance release that introduces a significant API evolution and one minor behavioral breaking change.

Key Changes:

• API Deprecation: The Bag interface and its related implementations (like HashBag) have been deprecated in favor of the new MultiSet interface. [4] While the Bag classes are not removed, developers should plan to migrate to the MultiSet API, and migration notes are available in the documentation. [2]
• Behavioral Change: The method AbstractReferenceMap.ReferenceEntry.toReference() now throws an IllegalArgumentException instead of an Error. [2] Code that was specifically catching Error from this method will break. However, catching Error is not standard practice, so the impact is expected to be very low.

This release continues to require Java 8 or later. [2]

Recommendation:
Review usage of the Bag API and plan for migration to MultiSet. Verify if your code interacts with AbstractReferenceMap and has unconventional error handling.
