Gson 2.12.0

What's Changed

How long does it typically take until this shows up on maven central?

[eamonnmcmanus]

It's there now. Sorry, I missed a originally step in the release process.

[Marcono1234]

@eamonnmcmanus the release notes for 2.12.1 accidentally say "2.11" in the title and the description (instead of "2.12"). Could you please adjust this?

Thanks for the quick release though!
