Dear Maven Community, The Apache Maven team is excited to announce the release of Maven 4.0.0-rc-4, now available for download.
Please find the HTML version of this email at https://maven.apache.org/docs/4.0.0-rc-4/release-notes.html Maven 4.x is a major release that includes significant improvements and changes. Please refer to the Maven 4.x documentation for detailed information about new features and migration guidance. This release candidate is our last planned RC before going GA. Important Notes This is a release candidate version intended for testing and feedback before the official release. Please report any issues to GitHub: https://github.com/apache/maven/issues For production use, consider the stability and compatibility requirements of your project. Upgrading from Maven 3 Maven 4 introduces significant changes to enhance functionality and performance. While we’ve prioritized compatibility with Maven 3.x, some POM files may require updates to build successfully with Maven 4. To identify and resolve common issues, use the Maven upgrade tool: * Run mvnup check to detect potential problems in your project. * Run mvnup apply to automatically apply recommended fixes. If your build relies on Maven extensions not supported by the upgrade tool, contact the extension developers to confirm their plans for Maven 4 compatibility. If your build still fails, run it with the -e option to generate a detailed stack trace. Then, file an issue including: * The full stack trace. * A link to the exact branch of your open-source project, or a minimal reproducer for proprietary projects. Upgrading from Maven 4.0.0-rc-3 No known incompatibilities since last RC. Changelog Maven 4.0.0-rc-4 aims at being the last release candidate before Maven 4.0.0 GA. We'll focus on fixing critical bugs raised before GA. Worth mentioning is the new upgrade tool which can be used to fix your pom.xml files and make them usable in Maven 4.
