Play 2.9.6

[mkurz]

The Play Team is pleased to announce the release of Play 2.9.6! 🎉

📗 About this Release

Play is pretty stable at this point - we hardly get bug reports, which is great! This release primarily upgrades dependencies, and we strongly recommend upgrading at your earliest convenience.

If you're considering upgrading to Play 2.9, please check the Play 2.9 release announcement for highlights and further details on how to migrate. Many projects have already smoothly upgraded to Play 2.9.

Noteworthy Pull Request

• playframework/play-ws #866 Use latest netty-reactive-streams version, ahc comes with outdated one by @mkurz
  • Ensures the shaded AsyncHttpClient dependency shipped with play-ws uses the latest Netty release. This resolves an issue where AsyncHttpClient depended on an outdated version of netty-reactive-streams, which also pulled in an outdated Netty release. Now everything is up-to-date.
