Highlights:

This release brings the minimum version requirement of Java to 17, which is a long-term support version that is also broadly supported by newer platforms (e.g., Apple silicon). Other changes included in this release are: a refactoring of the user-facing API of reactor-c, various bugfixes and enhancements of Rust, TypeScript, and C target, and minor improvements of the diagram synthesis.
