** Bug
    * [MASSEMBLY-255] - Typo in error message

doesn't support it
    * [MASSEMBLY-510] - leading period ('.') added to directory names

should be 2.2.1 for Maven Assembly Plugin 2.2
    * [MASSEMBLY-516] - Error in Example for sharing-descriptors?
    * [MASSEMBLY-519] - Documentation problem: description of how to
share assemble descriptors is wrong
    * [MASSEMBLY-527] - [REGRESSION] Sharing assembly descriptors
doesn't work any more
    * [MASSEMBLY-528] - FileSet does not support filtering (again)
    * [MASSEMBLY-534] - Doc unclear on descriptor refs

known filter values are not applied (see MSHARED-177)
