This is a maintenance release with a new feature: DSN URL parsing, which allows you to create a PHPMailer instance with most important settings by passing in a single URL, ideal for configuring PHPMailer from an environment variable.
Note: This commit does not include new DSN class, as it is not particularly relevant for WordPress core at this time.
