Jackson Release 2.4.5

Patch version of [2.4](Jackson Release 2.4), released on January 13th, 2015. May be the last release version of 2.4.x branch, since 2.5.0 was released before this release; and since 2.3 will be a long-running branch (due to compatibility reasons). 2.4.x on the other hand may be retired after (or around time) 2.5.1 is released.
