Release 1.12.45

[1.12.45] - 2025-05-29

Added

• support for static and dynamic Java MBeans. See :mbean module

Changed

• the Maven publish process. Migrated to Sonatype's new Central Maven
  repository to publish artifacts. Sonatype retired the old OSSRH server
  by June 30th, 2025. There are only a handful of viable solutions. It
  turned out that Maven-Publish plugin's bridge mode does not work, Vannitek's
  plugin does not work with Java 8, JReleaser is complex and its not obvious
  to get it working with shadow JARs. Hence the "bare metal" method is the
  easiest to implement and there is no disclosure of credentials to 3rd party
  components as an additional benefit.
