v0.2.12 released

Highlights

• New mapBlankStringToNull option on both modules: with it on, a blank string for a non-String JsonNullable reads as of(null) instead of undefined() (#186, thanks @Thorsrud22, and @krangerich for the first version in #126).
• Character, CharSequence and deserializers you register yourself now get the empty string instead of undefined() (#187, fixes #26 and #46). Two cases behave differently from 0.2.11: a wrapper deserializer that neither extends DelegatingDeserializer nor overrides getDelegatee() is judged by its own class, so the deserializer it wraps can now throw on ""; and a subclass of FromStringDeserializer now reads "" as of(null). Content converters (@JsonDeserialize(contentConverter = ...)) still don't see "". Thanks @Thorsrud22 for testing it past the suite.
• Docs: module-path registration on Java 17+ (#188) and what NON_NULL does in the usage example (#190).
• CI runs on JDK 17, 21 and 25 (#171), and CreatorTest is back on (#170), thanks @davidpavlovschi.
