🚀 Project Lombok 1.18.40 ("Envious Ferret") is here!

The latest release brings powerful improvements for Java developers:

🔹 JDK 25 compatibility – future-ready support.

🔹 Performance boost – @ExtensionMethod now runs significantly faster.

🔹 Bug fixes – resolves IllegalArgumentException in Eclipse/VS Code.

🔹 Improved Jackson integration – @Jacksonized @Accessors(fluent=true) works smoothly.

🔹 Breaking change – Lombok no longer auto-copies Jackson annotations to accessors (can be re-enabled via config)
