Migration from 0.4 to 0.5

[AngledLuffa]

Is it recommended to migrate from 0.4 to 0.5 to remove the joda-time dependency? If so, do you have a recommendation on how to do that?

Would it be simpler to wait until 0.6 comes out, or is there a recommended fork (such as in this issue) which uses more of the Java standard library and works for the most recent Java versions?

For context, we use this as part of the date detection in Stanford CoreNLP, and people sometimes want to use the newest versions of the libraries and definitely want Java 17 support. For example, this issue

Thanks!
