v4.5.0

Important notes

A BREAKING CHANGE is introduced for JWT middleware users.

The JWT library used for the JWT middleware had to be changed from github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go to
github.com/golang-jwt/jwt due former library being unmaintained and affected by security
issues. The github.com/golang-jwt/jwt project is a drop-in replacement, but supports only the latest 2 Go versions.
So for JWT middleware users Go 1.15+ is required. For detailed information please read #1940

To change the library imports in all .go files in your project replace all occurrences of dgrijalva/jwt-go with golang-jwt/jwt.

For Linux CLI you can use:

find -type f -name "*.go" -exec sed -i "s/dgrijalva\/jwt-go/golang-jwt\/jwt/g" {} \;
go mod tidy

Fixes

• Change JWT library to github.com/golang-jwt/jwt #1946
