Hello,

The Apache Olingo OData Library for Java 4.0.0-beta-03 has been released.

This will be the last beta release with the Olingo community now
working on the first stable release.
For this beta release the focus was on refactoring the code base.
OData V3 specific code has been removed to
focus more closely on the V4 Specification and to simplify the code base.

Additional Features for this release are:
 - Function Import Serialization/Deserialization
 - Action Import Serialization/Deserialization
 - Edm Type Mapping for Deserializer

As well as bug fixes and improvements.

The release is available for download as distribution packages:

Apache Olingo is a Java library which enables developers to implement
OData producers as well as OData consumers.

The Open Data Protocol (OData, http://odata.org) is a Web protocol for
querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your data and
free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this
by applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom
Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to
information from a variety of applications, services, and stores.
