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.

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.
