Bump objectboxVersion from 3.8.0 to 4.2.0

[dependabot]

Bumps objectboxVersion from 3.8.0 to 4.2.0.
Updates io.objectbox:objectbox-android-objectbrowser from 3.8.0 to 4.2.0

Release notes

Sourced from io.objectbox:objectbox-android-objectbrowser's releases.

V4.2.0

• Add new query conditions equalKeyValue, greaterKeyValue, lessKeyValue, lessOrEqualKeyValue, and greaterOrEqualKeyValue that are helpful to write complex queries for string maps. These methods support String, long and double data types for the values in the string map.
• Deprecate the containsKeyValue condition, use the new equalKeyValue condition instead.
• Android: to build, at least Android Plugin 8.1.1 and Gradle 8.2.1 are required.

V4.1.0

• Vector Search: add new VectorDistanceType.GEO distance type to perform vector searches on geographical coordinates. This is particularly useful for location-based applications.
• Android: require Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher.
• Note on Windows JVM: We've seen crashes on Windows when creating a BoxStore on some JVM versions. If this should happen to you, make sure to update your JVM to the latest patch release (8.0.432+6, 11.0.25+9, 17.0.13+11 and 21.0.5+11-LTS are known to work).

Sync

• Add JWT authentication
• Sync clients can now send multiple credentials for login

V4.0.3

• Make closing the Store more robust. In addition to transactions, it also waits for ongoing queries. This is just an additional safety net. Your apps should still make sure to finish all Store operations, like queries, before closing it.
• Flex properties support null map and list values.
• Some minor vector search performance improvements.

Sync

• Fix a serious regression, please update as soon as possible.
• Add new options, notably for cluster configuration, when building SyncServer. Improve documentation. Deprecate the old peer options in favor of the new cluster options.
• Add SyncHybrid, a combination of a Sync client and a Sync server. It can be used in local cluster setups, in which a "hybrid" functions as a client & cluster peer (server).

V4.0.2

• Add convenience oneOf and notOneOf conditions that accept Date to avoid manual conversion using getTime().
• When BoxStore is closing, briefly wait on active transactions to finish.
• Guard against crashes when BoxStore was closed, but database operations do still occur concurrently (transactions are still active).

V4.0.1

• Examples: added Vector Search example that demonstrates how to perform on-device approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search.
• Revert deprecation of Box.query(), it is still useful for queries without any condition.
• Add note on old query API methods of QueryBuilder that they are not recommended for new projects. Use the new query APIs instead.
• Update and expand documentation on ToOne and ToMany.

V4.0.0 - Vector Search

ObjectBox now supports Vector Search to enable efficient similarity searches.

This is particularly useful for AI/ML/RAG applications, e.g. image, audio, or text similarity. Other use cases include semantic search or recommendation engines.
