Want to extend ModbusTcpSlave class

[Hazelton42]

I was looking to extend the ModbusTcpSlave class with a custom bind handler. I ended up having to pretty much duplicate the whole thing instead of making a subclass because there are a few methods that are private instead of protected. Could you either make the ModbusTcpSlaveHandler inner class protected or make the onChannelRead, onChannelInactive and onExceptionCaught methods protected instead of private?

Sure, but can you give me a little more detail on what you were trying to accomplish and why? I'm close to releasing a 2.0 version of this library and want to understand if it's a use case I missed.

I pulled that branch and it is working as I wanted

When can we get this merged and released?

[kevinherron]

Ahh, crap, I should have done it last week.

I'm on a work trip this week and won't have access to the signing keys needed to publish a release until I get back this weekend.

I think this project pre-dates GH actions... so no CI set up to build/publish. Fixed that already for 2.0.

@Hazelton42 this should be available in Maven Central whenever Sonatype OSS syncs next.

Working great! Thanks for the merge and release!
