Henning Schmiedehausen commented on MRELEASE-979:
-------------------------------------------------

This open bug is coming up on 20 months, the last release of the plugin is ready to go to pre-school soon (almost five years ago). Will there ever be another release of the release plugin (irony intended)?

> The newly introduced VersionPolicy facility allows managing the development and release versions of projects when releasing, branching and updating versions.
> Most organizations will also have a policy around how branches and tags are named (which often have to match specific versioning patterns). The current VersionPolicy implementations do not allow this but it should be possible.
