The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven 3.8.3

Apache 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 piece of information.

Maven 3.8.3 is available via https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

The core release is independent of plugin releases. Further releases of plugins will be made separately.
