0.12.7 Released

[lhazlewood]

This patch release:

• Adds a new Maven BOM! This is useful for multi-module projects. See Issue 967.

• Allows the JwtParserBuilder to have empty nested algorithm collections, effectively disabling the parser's associated feature:

  • Emptying the zip() nested collection disables JWT decompression.
  • Emptying the sig() nested collection disables JWS mac/signature verification (i.e. all JWSs will be unsupported/rejected).
  • Emptying either the enc() or key() nested collections disables JWE decryption (i.e. all JWEs will be unsupported/rejected)

  See Issue 996.

• Fixes bug 961 where JwtParserBuilder nested collection builders were not correctly replacing algorithms with the same id.

• Ensures a JwkSet's keys collection is no longer entirely secret/redacted by default. This was an overzealous default that was unnecessarily restrictive; the keys collection itself should always be public, and each individual key within should determine which fields should be redacted when printed. See Issue 976.

• Improves performance slightly by ensuring all jjwt-api utility methods that create *Builder instances (Jwts.builder(), Jwts.parserBuilder(), Jwks.builder(), etc) no longer use reflection.

  Instead,static factories are created via reflection only once during initial jjwt-api classloading, and then *Builders are created via standard instantiation using the new operator thereafter. This also benefits certain environments that may not have ideal ClassLoader implementations (e.g. Tomcat in some cases).

  NOTE: because this changes which classes are loaded via reflection, any environments that must explicitly reference reflective class names (e.g. GraalVM applications) will need to be updated to reflect the new factory class names.

  See Issue 988.

• Upgrades the Gson dependency to 2.11.0

• Upgrades the BouncyCastle dependency to 1.78.1
