Kroxylicious release 0.4.1

The Kroxylicious project is very pleased to announce the release of Kroxylicious 0.4.1. This release is focused on fixing an issue where the proxy failed to preserve offsets while decrypting records. While we feel a little sheepish that our own testing (which we have improved at both unit and integration levels) for 0.4.0 missed it we got a great bug report from @giacomoa. Speaking of great bug reports this release also includes our first external contribution PR#849 from @luozhenyu which fixes an issue in the SASL authentication handling.
