docx4j 3.4.0 release candidate - please test it

[jason]

A docx4j 3.4.0 release candidate is now available.

So named because of the following notable changes:
- support for Java 9 and 10
- preserve mc:AlternateContent in a run

API breaking changes have been avoided, so it should be easy to get your code running against this for testing purposes.

You can get it with deps at https://docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j-com ... 4.0-rc.zip or just the jar https://docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j-3.4.0-rc.jar

For Maven users, it is also available at https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/tree/mvn-repo/

<groupId>org.docx4j</groupId>
<artifactId>docx4j</artifactId>
<version>3.4.0-rc</version>

See https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/tree/ ... j/3.4.0-rc

You'll need to add that repo to your POM, via something like:

<repositories>
<repository>
<id>github-docx4j</id>
<url>https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/tree/mvn-repo/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>

In the absence of issues causing delays, docx4j 3.4.0 will be released in 7 to 14 days.

So please test it, and let us know whether you notice any issues which affect your use case.

Thanks .. Jason
