Rat 0.12
========
* 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.
* Issues resolved (see https://issues.apache.org/jira):
Bug
* [RAT-158] - Fix SAX-Parser warning by explicitly excluding xerces in Doxia 1.2.
(thanks to Hervé Boutemy)

(thanks to Chris Burroughs)
* [RAT-174] - CDDL1License still very slow, replace Pattern matching with simple String comparison
(thanks to Chris Burroughs)
* [RAT-175] - SourceCodeManagementSystems.hasIgnoreFile() should return boolean
* [RAT-177] - final arrays should be private
* [RAT-188] - Fix problems with AnimalSniffer-plugin when running in GUMP with Java 8.
Workaround for https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANIMALSNIFFER-45
(thanks to Mark Thomas)
* [RAT-160] - Ignore build.log that is created by maven-invoker-plugin runs. Temporary fix until invoker plugin improves
configurability of that file.

* [RAT-180] - Generify and beautify texts in RAT report.
New features

Supported source code management systems are: SVN, Git, Bazaar, Mercurial and CVS.
An ignore-file's contents is taken as it is without parsing or validating.
Improvement
