Next maven release plugin release?

[Mat Schaffer]

Hi, I'm using 2.0-beta-7 of the maven release plugin, but I could  
really use the new support for accepting releaseVersion,  
developmentVersion, etc... from -D properties.

Is the release of 2.0-beta-8 expected to happen soon, or should I roll  
my own version of 2.0-beta-7.1 or something?

Thanks,
Mat
