              Apache Commons Parent 40
                  RELEASE NOTES

The Apache Commons Parent team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons Parent 40

The Apache Commons Parent POM provides common settings for all Apache Commons components.

Updates plugins and parent; fixes COMMONSSITE-87 and COMMONSSITE-82.

N.B. The assembly plugin now runs in the verify phase (it was previously run in the package phase). See COMMONSSITE-87.
This allows child poms to create additional jars to be added to the assembly.
This will affect child poms that rely on the assembly occurring in the package phase.
They will need to be amended to use the verify phase instead.

Changes in this version include:
