Changes between 5.18.0 and 5.19.0

This is a minor release with support for Micrometer Observation, some refactoring to support Java 21 virtual threads and dependency upgrades. It is compatible with 5.18.x. All users of the 5.x.x series are encouraged to upgrade.

Thanks to Rogelio J. Baucells for his contribution.
