The metadata in central [1] correctly indicates the <latest> version, but that 2.3.1 is the newest release. I assume the <release> value should be bumped.

It's not a huge problem, but the fact that newer versions are numbered as a release but not so indicated seems to confuse some plugins: I have a project that is definitely building with Clover 2.4.1, but the Project Plugins report incorrectly indicates 2.3.1 was used.

Note that this only occurs when the <version> is not specified in the POM for maven-clover2-plugin. Running "mvn clean verify site" on the attached project demonstrates the issue – note I did not include the clover.license.
