+We now require Maven 3.0.5+ to build Rat, but as before we only require
+Maven 2.2.1+ if you want to use Rat in your own Maven projects.
+We've integrated Rat into the ASF Jenkins to ensure continuous builds with various JDK versions.
+
+Changes in this version include:
+
+New features:
+o RAT-196:  Minor refactoring in pom.xml. Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbais.
+o RAT-61:   List files with unapproved licenses in Maven output. Thanks to Jukka Zitting.
+o RAT-170:  RAT should use itself during build and site generation. Thanks to Philipp Ottlinger.
+o RAT-181:  BinaryGuesser should treat *.truststore as binary.
+o RAT-184:  Add DEPENDENCIES to the list of ignored files in NoteGuesser. Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise.

+o RAT-187:  Add 'SAR', 'HAR', 'WSR' as archives which should be ignored. Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise.
+o RAT-197:  Improve exclusion defaults when working with Maven 3.3.1 (exclude .mvn). Thanks to Karl Heinz Marbaise.
+o RAT-201:  BinaryGuesser should treat *.swf as binary.
+            Furthermore BinaryGuesser falls back to UTF-8 encoding in case the encoding given via system property
+            (-Dfile.encoding) was not found.
+o RAT-202:  Report layout differs between successful RAT checks and existence of unapproved files.
+o RAT-202:  Report layout differs between successful RAT checks and existence of unapproved files.

+o RAT-204:  Unify resource handling in code and tests, make sure the resources are properly closed. Apply minor refactorings.
+
