Can we release 2.12.1 earlier?

[felipecrs]

Hello there,

Since 2.12.0 introduced an unintended breaking change, we are having a few issues in some Jenkins plugins, such as jenkinsci/docker-plugin#821.

The issue was already fixed in jackson-databind 2.12.1-SNAPSHOT, but since it was not released yet, the Jackson 2 API plugin was not also.

Is it possible to accelerate the release of the jackson-databind 2.12.1, so we can release a new version of the Jenkins plugin and therefore unblock the issues that started to happen after the upgrade?

It's holiday season and I was originally planning to release 2.12.1 either first thing in January, or last thing in December.
(full patch release takes 2-4 hours of my time)
Since this appears to be common enough issue, I'll see if I can get released this before New Year (there may also be other issues in-flight, solution for which affects timing).

No problem, thanks so much for the support anyway! Happy holidays!

[cowtowncoder]

Thank you -- happy holidays to you too!

any update for 2.12.1 release date?

[cowtowncoder]

Waiting for a fix for an issue with Blackbird module, hoping to have a look later today; that is the only blocker.

Any news here?

Yes sorry, forgot to update this ticket. 2.12.1 is out, as per:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.12.1

Now, all we need is a new version of the https://github.com/jenkinsci/jackson2-api-plugin. @dependabot created the bump PRs already.
