Buildnumber Maven Plugin 3.4.0 can put the branch name into a formatted build number, no longer bundles the SVNKit-based Subversion provider, and requires Maven 3.9.0 or later. This release is tagged 3.4.0; earlier releases used the buildnumber-maven-plugin-x.y.z tag form.

⚠️ Changes to check when upgrading

• svnjava is no longer bundled. svnexe, which runs the svn command, is now the only Subversion provider shipped with the plugin. Builds that use providerImplementations with svnjava must add maven-scm-provider-svnjava as a plugin dependency, as shown on the usage page (#311, #261 by @alerosmile).
• Maven 3.9.0 or later is required (#292). Builds on older Maven versions must stay on 3.3.1.

✨ Highlights

• scmBranch as a format item. items can now include scmBranch, so format can combine the branch with the revision, for example {0}-{1} from scmBranch and scmVersion (#312, carrying #244 by @EGD).
• Documentation moved to Markdown (#308), and the integration tests now run through maven-invoker-plugin (#304).
