Change release announcement template?
The release announcement template is here:
http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html
It currently says:
> You can run mvn -up to get the latest version of the plugin, or specify
> the version in your project's plugin configuration:
>
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-XXX-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>Y.Z</version>
> </plugin>
... but that's not true any more, is it? In Maven 2.0.9, running -up
won't give you Surefire 2.4.3; you'll be stuck on Surefire 2.4.2. (and
that's a good thing!)
Unfortunately, the new version of Surefire requires Maven 2.0.6 or higher
(for toolchain support), so users of Maven 2.0.0-2.0.5 have no way to
upgrade to Surefire 2.4.3; users of 2.0.6-2.0.8 will be auto-upgraded (and
can force an auto-upgrade with -up) and users of 2.0.9 will have to
specify the version explicitly.
I don't want to say all that in the release announcement template, right?
I think it should just say something like this, omitting discussion of
"-up":
> You can specify the plugin version in your project's plugin
> configuration:

> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-XXX-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>Y.Z</version>
> </plugin>
I'll just say something like that in the Surefire announcment I'm going to
make in a few minutes; if people like this wording, I'll modify the
template in the documentation.

I think the section below in combination with "requires Maven 2.0.6 or
greater" works.
