The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven 2.1.0-M1.
This release signals the beginning of a new direction in the development
of Maven. Recently, Maven's development efforts were split into three
major goals. First, the Maven 2.0.x code line will be minimally
maintained for regression fixes; the 2.0.x series should be entering
end-of-life mode soon now that 2.1.0-M1 is out.
Next, the 2.x series aims to accomplish a relatively conservative series
of new features, improved implementations, and other changes that bring
with them too much risk to be appropriate for a revision release on the
2.0.x version series. Each of these releases - 2.1, 2.2, and so on -
will be preceded by a formal release plan.
Finally, the 3.x series is the home of Maven's more aggressive
improvements, including wholesale reimplementation of subsystems and the
introduction of major new features.
This means that all discussions in the past that referred to Maven 2.1
now apply mainly to Maven 3.x, currently under development. We will
backport some of the smaller features to the 2.x version series,
provided we can contain the risk of these features and provide a smooth
transition from one version to the next for the user.
