Changelog 42.2.24 - #2258

I just found that some dates of the releases don't correspond with the real release date on Maven Central, I could send a commit fixing those in your branch also a small clean-up of empty sections.

Just in case: the release becomes official only after the official announcement at pgsql-jdbc mailing list, so it can easily be so that artifacts are deployed a couple of days before the announcement.

Ok, there is a small mismatch on what we consider the release date, the official announcement (at pgsql-announce mailing list) is normally after the artifacts are deployed, yet the date in the changelog is normally set to the commit date of the changelog, and even that might not be correct since the artifacts could be deployed after.

The most prominent example is the 4.2.20 release:

• CHANGELOG.md -> 2021-04-19 (commit date or when it was drafted)
• Artifacts deployed (Maven Central) -> 2021-04-22
• pgsql-announce -> 2021-04-23

Anyway, this is a discussion for another time.

Ya, I'm not terribly worried about the mismatch in dates. Thanks for the review though

I have pushed a commit to your branch (you can do a pull to get the change in your local branch) with some small fixes in the formatting structure, and also removed the last item since it looks like a duplicate for the second item.

I'm going to let this age for a day then push it tomorrow, tag it and release it.

Then this is a reminder to update the date to 2021-09-23 😉
