Release Notes – Maven 3.8.2
The Apache Maven team would like to announce the release of Maven 3.8.2.
Maven 3.8.2 is available for download.
Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting, and documentation from a central place.
The core release is independent of plugin releases. Further releases of plugins will be made separately. See the PluginList for more information.

Known Issues
- If any of your plugin mojos spawns new threads there might be a change in class loading as a result of the fix for MNG-6843. See discussion with a possible fix for your plugin mojo as well as a potential general fix in MNG-7212.
- If any or your projects relies on a Maven Core artifacts and your build is perfomed with Maven 3.8.1 or later a transitive dependency parent of Sisu Plexus/CPI API 1.0 will inject a remote repository over HTTP which will be blocked by default and (might) lead to build failures. See discussion and MNG-7214 for details.
- MNG-7170 has caused a regression where non-reactor projects have basedir set and plugins as well as other components make false assumptions. See discussion and MNG-7215 for details.
- MNG-6886 has caused a regression where
plexus-cipherwith theorg.sonatype.plexusgroup id was globally excluded, but not all affected modules were updated to depend on this dependency directly with theorg.codehaus.plexusgroup id. See discussion for details.
