| <p>The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the <a href="https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.1/">Apache Maven 3.8.1</a></p> |
| <p>Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept<br /> |
| of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project’s build, reporting and documentation<br /> |
| from a central piece of information.</p> |
| <p>Maven 3.8.1 is available via <a href="https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi">https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi</a></p> |
| <p>The core release is independent of plugin releases. Further releases of plugins will be made<br /> |
| separately.</p> |
| <p>If you have any questions, please consult:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>the web site: <a href="https://maven.apache.org/">https://maven.apache.org/</a></li> |
| <li>the maven-user mailing list: <a href="https://maven.apache.org/mailing-lists.html">https://maven.apache.org/mailing-lists.html</a></li> |
| <li>the reference documentation: <a href="https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.1/">https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.1/</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>RELEASE DETAILS</p> |
| <p>This release with CVE fixes is a result based on the findings and feedback of Jonathan Leitschuh and Olaf Flebbe.</p> |
| <p>One of the changes that might impact your builds is the way custom repositories defined in dependency<br /> |
| POMs will be handled.<br /> |
| By default external insecure repositories will now be blocked (localhost over HTTP will still work).<br /> |
| Configuration can be adjusted via the conf/settings.xml.</p> |
