While manually triggering a release build, configured pre- and post release build steps of the Release Plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Release+Plugin) seems not to be honoured.

We want to change the versions via maven-versions-plugin before and after a release build, but the respective call of the maven goals cannot be found in console log (and poms aren't changed). Calling the maven goals from the command line works as expected.

Is this plugin version compatible with Jenkins 1.555?
