The maven team is pleased to announce the Maven Announcement Plugin 1.3 
release!

The Announcement plugin generates release announcements. It uses the 
information found in both the POM and in the changes.xml file to generate the 
announcement text. 

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Added check to verify that the POM has a versionelement for the 
  announcement to be generated. Issue: MPANNOUNCEMENT-14. Thanks to Felipe 
  Leme. 
o Added new optional maven.announcement.encodingproperty that defines which 
  charset encoding to use to generate the text announcement (defaults to 
  UTF-8). Issue: MPANNOUNCEMENT-13. Thanks to Felipe Leme. 
o Added new announcement:mailgoal to automatically send the generated 
  announcement by email. Issue: MPANNOUNCEMENT-9. Thanks to Felipe Leme. 
o Added new optional maven.announcement.stylesheet.pathproperty that defines 
  what stylesheet to use to generate the text announcement. Issue: 
  MPANNOUNCEMENT-11. Thanks to Felipe Leme. 

  Fixed bugs:

o Fixed error message when current version is not available at 
  xdocs/changes.xml. Issue: MPANNOUNCEMENT-12. Thanks to Felipe Leme.
