+
+### v4.0.0
+
+- Minor internal changes to memory handling

+
+### v4.0.0-beta2

+
+- The Maven groupID for loading RG4A has changed to com.raygun.

+  - app module build sample app

+- The background services are now a JobIntentService to better deal with background limitations in Android 8+. This will behave as a Service on Android 7 and earlier devices.

+
+- Fixing timing issue from ConnectivityManager in RaygunPostService (#41), adding null checks around intent extras being null that should never be null (XRAY-1898)
