 ### Fixes with compatibility implications
 
 - Starting 0.13.9, `crossScalaVersions` default value is fixed back to the older 0.12.x behavior. See below for details.
 - Starting 0.13.9, the generated POM files no longer include dependencies on source or javadoc jars obtained via `withSources()` or `withJavadoc()`. See below for details.
+- Scala version is bumped to 2.10.5. This brings in the fix for [SI-9027][SI9027]: XML node sequence literal bug. [#1666][1666]/[#2068][2068] by [@eed3si9n][@eed3si9n]
