Side note 1: v1.4.0 was an internal release. This v1.5.0 release brings additional changes to the internal PV handling (rewrite of datasource aggregation logic).

Side note 2: This release bumps the Tycho library to v2, this implies that you can no longer use a Java 8 version to compile from source. We recommend Java 11.
