The site needed to be updated without new releases in the past already. I didn't see how this was possible without a branch, so simply created one and thought it was a good idea to have one for new releases as well. From what I seen, Log4j has a release-2.x branch as well. So it might perfectly be that I didn't even consider generating the site based on a release tag at all. > [...]I expected > to see the log4cxx release version in the pom on the release tag and > it wasn’t there. This heavily depends on how exactly Robert created the release and simply needs to be debugged further. The created scripts should have taken care of version numbers, but might not work properly under all conditions or whatever. The goal was that "release_prepare" should have created a branch and associated tags with correct numbers to base releases on. In the end, "changes.xml" wasn't properly updates as well for some reason. So either this needs to be debugged or, as has been discussed already, one needs to implement new release-handling without using MVN at all. Though I think fixing the existing problems and/or improve docs is the easier way forward right now. > Once a release tag is created no modifications can > be made so everything needs to be correct.

When I worked last on a release years ago, things were expected to get changed or simply didn't work for some reason and that's only easily possible with a release branch in my opinion. Manually creating branches on each and every RC didn't seem like a good way to me.
