Thanks for the release, Stephane. After I upgraded, however, I noticed the release:perform task no longer honors the executable permission bit set on my some of my files. My SCM is CVS. I looked in Jira but couldn't find a bug for it, though something makes me think it's a known problem with the SCM plugin. Though something else makes me think the previous release plugin version checked the file out correctly, i.e. with the exec bit set.
Obviously, this problem only applies on *nix systems.
