I notice in the vote email we have mentioned: dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/maven/maven–3/3.8.0/binaries/apache-maven–3.8.0-bin.zip <http://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/maven/maven%E2%80%933/3.8.0/binaries/apache-maven%E2%80%933.8.0-bin.zip>
which doesn’t really highlight anywhere that this is a staging/unreleased version. Tho changing that probably won’t change too much here. *ponders* From: Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com> <garydgreg...@gmail.com> Reply: Maven Developers List <dev@maven.apache.org> <dev@maven.apache.org> Date: 26 March 2021 at 2:13:05 PM To: Maven Developers List <dev@maven.apache.org> <dev@maven.apache.org> Subject: Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Maven version 3.8.0 It's pretty clear to me that the Maven release process is broken when people are getting new versions they think are real and valid when in fact it is a release candidate vote in in progress.
