Release notes: http://maven.apache.org/docs/3.5.0/release-notes.html Interesting aspects for us: * The new project.directory special property adds support in every calculated URLs (project, SCM, site) for module directory name that does not match artifactId MNG-5878 * In previous Maven versions, there had been a larger problem related to memory usage in case of very large reactors (200-300 modules or more) which caused failures with out of memory exceptions or the need to increase the memory settings. This problem has been fixed with MNG-6030. Fixed bugs that could be interesting for us: * In previous Maven versions, there had been a larger problem related to memory usage in case of very large reactors (200-300 modules or more) which caused failures with out of memory exceptions or the need to increase the memory settings. This problem has been fixed with MNG-6030. Potential issues: * Replaced Eclipse Aether with Maven Resolver MNG-6110, MNG-6140. Thanks -Vincent
