Release patch version

[DanielNoord]

Hi maintainers,

Is there any chance that a patch version could be released? I know maintenance time is sparse for this project but main seems to have some useful fixes such as support for new python versions and my own fix in #339.
I would gladly help review any necessary PRs if those are blocking a release!

Hello @tartley, thank you for your work on colorama. Could you consider releasing a new patch version please ? We (the pylint's team) are eagerly waiting for the next version of colorama with the fixes included in #339 :)

Hi people. Thanks for the thoughts. Arnon and I are emailing each other, and each have vacations in-progress or coming up, but we have a window from around June 12th, we'll look at it then.

I'm going to try creating a release candidate now. Will append any significant commentary here. Dusting off my gaming rig to use as a Windows box for this, so anything could happen... :-)

Release 0.4.5rc1 is live on pypi.org, if anyone wants to test their application or environment against it. We will do some testing of our own over the next 24 hours, and aim to promote it to 0.4.5 (final release) tomorrow, with 24 hours to spare before I go on vacation. :-)

The release candidate looks fine to me. If we don't hear complaints from anyone else, I'll do a full release tomorrow morning.

I'm going to make the full release now. https://meet.google.com/vtc-uswc-boz For @wiggin15 or anyone else who wants to drop in and watch/say "hi".

Thanks for all the work @tartley and have a good holiday!

'Tis done. Thanks to @wiggin15 for patiently sitting with me through yesterday's hour-long walkthrough of our "new" release process. Went much faster today, since I didn't need to install Python, etc, on my gaming rig this time around.

0.4.5 final release is live, and works for me.
