4.5 has been released

[Gehad Elrobey]

I always love the email that Dirk sends after new releases. Finally 4.5 has
been released which is a special release that took a lot of hard work, I am
happy that I contribute to this project, unfortunately I had to miss a lot
of the fun in the last month :-)

good job, team
