We are pleased to announce the Maven Source Control Management Plugin 1.2 
release! 

http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/scm/

A plugin for SCM tasks. 

===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Update changes.xml version and release date on prepare. 
o Use developerConnection first, then standard connection when parsing 
  connection from POM. 

  Fixed bugs:

o Don't use -C - Mac OS X doesn't recognise it. 
o Catch exceptions to make sure files don't get moved permanently. Fixes 
  MPSCM-3. 
o Update POM using dom4j instead of JSL - no more formatting issues. Fixes 
  MPSCM-4. 
o Support :local: CVS paths
