We are pleased to announce the Maven Source Control Management Plugin 1.6.1 
release! 

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

A plugin for SCM tasks. 

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

Changes in this version include:

  Fixed bugs:

o The prepare-release goal should fail if project.xml can't be edited (e.g. 
  read only). Fixes MPSCM-63. 
o SCM Parse Connection output is wrong / misleading. Fixes MPSCM-89. 
o scm:prepare-release does not commit modified changes.xml. Fixes MPSCM-86. 

  Changes:

o Upgrade plexus-utils to version 1.0.5 Fixes MAVEN-1803. 
o Upgrade plexus-container-default and plexus-component-api to version 
  1.0-alpha-15 and replace classworlds by plexus-classworlds 1.2-alpha-5 
o Update dom4j and jelly dependencies to match the ones in maven 1.1 core. 
o Update dependencies to unify them between plugins. The following 
  dependencies are updated : commons-jelly-tags-interaction v1.0 to v1.1, 
  jaxen v1.0-FCS-full to 1.1-beta-9. Add the dependency to jline for 
  commons-jelly-tags-interaction v1.1.
