**Outside this repo** — the marketing site ships the version too, so a bump here without
a bump there advertises a stale release on seleniumboot.com:

| Repo / File | Location |

Also add a new changelog entry in `CHANGELOG.md` and `docs-site/docs/changelog.md` describing what changed. The full version history lives in `CHANGELOG.md` (extracted from the README); the README only keeps a one-line "Current release" pointer.

7. **Last**, bump `LATEST_VERSION` in the `seleniumboot/website` repo and push to
`main` (Actions deploys it). Do this *after* the artifact is live on Central —
the homepage snippet is copy-to-clipboard, so bumping earlier hands visitors a
`pom.xml` that won't resolve yet.
