**Important note**: Because this release contains schema changes, you may need to re-import your data.

If you override JVM options (or `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS` in the case of the Docker image), you may need to add `--add-exports=java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED`. This is a new requirement due to tighter controls over class access in Java 17.
