Those M version schemes are quite annoying, but the download site lists M7 as „current stable“ and since ASF projects are not supposed to provide pre-release archives anyway I would say go for it. Especially if you need 3.x.x API/Format/Features.
However, the version Progression on this page suggests otherwise: https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/history.html - maybe it should give an ETA or the number of upcoming milestones… BTW the release notes link on the m-s-p subsite is broken. BTW in maven numbing the -M qualifiers will sort before the unqualified 3.0.0 version.

Hello Are "M" versions of the Surefire plugin (like 3.0.0-M7) pre-release? Should one use "M" versions or the latest version without "M" (2.22.2)? Usually, I see "M" as a "Milestone," which is pre-release, but I want to be sure this time. Unfortunately, I haven't found info about my question in docs and mailing list. In case there is a prior discussion about this, please point me to it.
