sbt 1.4.5

I'm happy to announce sbt 1.4.5 patch release is available. Full release note is here - https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/tag/v1.4.5

How to upgrade

Download the official sbt launcher from SDKMAN or download from https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/.

In addition, the sbt version used for your build is upgraded by putting the following in project/build.properties:

sbt.version=1.4.5

This mechanism allows that sbt 1.4.5 is used only for the builds that you want.
