    Summary of API changes:

    • 🆕 New feature External id as alternate resource reference
      • Prior to this release, OACC exported a single numerical resourceId as the minimal way of coupling, instead of importing a client value, so as to allow the most flexibility in how clients can integrate OACC into their application.
        Now OACC allows a client application to specify a single String representation of a globally unique externalId to create and reference resources , so that clients can avoid having to store the resourceId generated by OACC
      • adds support to provide alternate resource identifier to createResource() with externalId String parameter
      • allows one-time setting of alternate resource identifier to an existing resource via the new setExternalId() method
      • adds externalId to Resource and modifies getId() to return Long instead of a primitive
    • 🗄 Deprecation deprecates withGrant in all permission objects and replaces it with withGrantOption for clarity
    • 🗄 Deprecation deprecates the getInstance() permission factory methods that take a boolean to indicate the grant option and replaces them with dedicated getInstanceWithGrantOption() methods
