[dev] ODF Toolkit 0.13.0 released

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce that the ODF Toolkit 0.13.0 has been released.
This version runs on JDK 11 and offers support for ODF 1.2.

Right after the release, I have updated the baseline to JDK 17 and enabled
the Apache Jena library (version 5.6.0). A first 0.14.0-SNAPSHOT release
has been uploaded and is available for testing.

I also hope to meet with some of you at FOSDEM at the end of next week!

Best regards,
Svante
