Description

I discovered couple of issues while getting ready for release 1.3.2:

• some old, misleading release scripts and release README
• the maven-release-plugin is not correctly configured for doing actual releases with it
• the quickstarts are not configured to depend on the project version and thus require manual updating, also of slf4j and log4j versions
• the maven-javadoc-plugin configuration does not work when using the the maven-release-plugin, that is we have to move the config to the plugin section and out of the release profile
