* 1.45 Apr 23 2026

    [Bug Fixes]

    - Fix: use syck_base64_free() to fix Windows "Free to wrong pool" crash
      in base64 encode/decode buffers; also plugs a memory leak (PR #189)

      tag no longer leaks onto the next emitted item (GH #193, PR #194)

      before accumulating and avoid negative zero for portable
      stringification (PR #191)
    - Fix: prevent memory leaks when Load/LoadJSON croak on parse errors
      (PR #192)

    [Maintenance]

    - Test: add coverage for SortKeys and JSON MaxDepth (PR #188)
