It might be good to cut a point release after this - what do you think?

Agreed. Should be faster without the need to rebuild the binaries, right?

Yes, rebuilding binaries takes about a day, doing a release that only requires a java build is a matter of minutes (see https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/blob/master/www/ReleasingJNA.md)

a matter of minutes

I'd be happy to see a quick point release now. I need to do a point release on my own project soon so it'd be nice to update this as well.

sorry, that I did not catch that.

It was rather subtle! Thanks for helping identify the root cause.

If you want here is a snapshot repository:

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/

where 5.12.1-SNAPSHOT is present. If you can test with that it would be good, but if not, just say so, than I'll push the release tonight.

Tested with the snapshot, looks good.

Release is done - maven central sync should happen shortly. Thanks again for catching this so quickly.
