This is another beta release for the upcoming version 25.

It contains various changes, specifically performance improvements for the new chained dataloader feature.

A word of warning

While all features are tested and we consider them ready to be used, we don't guarantee that this is a stable version: this means there will be more breaking changes until we reach 25.0.

This version is intended for testing and providing feedback to the GraphQL Java team.
