Breaking change, new major release number

WARNING: This release is expected to no longer support Jenkins older than 2.555.1 LTS (which deprecates JDK 17).

While it may be or not be possible to custom-build newer plugin releases with lowered requirement in pom.xml to match your Jenkins server which happens to run a slightly older core in a newer JVM (21 or 25), this is not formally supported. For technical details, see PR #174.
