| Changes from Ant 1.7.x TO current SVN version |
| ============================================= |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| ------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * Improved handling of InterruptException (lets suppose someone/thing is |
| trying to kill the thread when we receive an InterruptException), |
| when an InterruptException is received, we do not wait anymore in a while |
| loop till the end time has been reached. Bugzilla report 42924. |
| |
| * Refactor PropertyHelper and introspection APIs to make extension more |
| granular and support setting task/type attribute values to objects |
| decoded by custom PropertyEvaluator delegates. Also add <propertyhelper> |
| task for registering delegates and/or replacing the registered PropertyHelper |
| instance. Bugzilla report 42736. |
| |
| * Added a restricted form of typedef called <componentdef>. This allows |
| definition of elements that can only be within tasks or types. This |
| method is now used to define conditions, selectors and selectors. This |
| means that tasks may now have nested conditions just by implementing |
| the Condition interface, rather than extending ConditionBase. It also |
| means that the use of namespaces for some of the selectors introduced |
| in Ant 1.7.0 is no longer necessary. |
| Implementing this means that the DynamicElement work-around introduced |
| in Ant 1.7.0 has been removed. |
| Bugzilla report 40511. |
| |
| * In the <touch> task when a <mapper> is used, the millis and datetime |
| attributes now override the time of the source resource if provisioned. |
| Bugzilla report 43235. |
| |
| * Remove fall-back mechanism for references that are not resolved |
| during normal runtime execution. |
| |
| * FileUtils.createTempFile now actually creates the file. |
| The TempFile task still does not create the file by default, can be instructed |
| to do so however using a new parameter. |
| Bugzilla report 33969. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <symlink> task couldn't overwrite existing symlinks that pointed to nonexistent files |
| Bugzilla report 38199. |
| |
| * <symlink> task couldn't overwrite files that were in the way of the symlink. |
| Bugzilla report 43426. |
| |
| * <symlink> task failonerror="false" does not stop build from failing when 'ln' |
| command returns non-zero. Bugzilla report 43624 |
| |
| * <touch> task couldn't differentiate between "no resources specified" and "no resources |
| matched." Bugzilla report 43799. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * There is now a FileProvider interface for resources that act as a source |
| of filenames. This should be used by tasks that require resources |
| to provide filenames, rather than require that all resources |
| are instances or subclasses of FileResource |
| Bugzilla report 43348 |
| |
| * Fixcrlf now gives better error messages on bad directory attributes. |
| Bugzilla report 43936 |
| |
| |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.7.0 TO Ant 1.7.1 |
| ============================================= |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| ------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * String resources only have properties single expanded. If you relied on |
| <string> resources being expanded more than once, it no longer happens. |
| Bugzilla report 42277. |
| |
| * A String resource's encoding attribute was only taken into account when |
| set from the resource's OutputStream; the InputStream provided the String's |
| binary content according to the platform's default encoding. Behavior has |
| been modified to encode outgoing (InputStream) content as well as encoding |
| incoming (OutputStream) content. |
| |
| * <scriptcondition> now prefers evaluation result/return value over value property. |
| |
| * <java> with fork now returns gives -1 instead of 0 as result when failonerror |
| is false and some exception (including timeout) occurs. Br 42377. |
| |
| * ant-type attribute has been marked as deprecated and a warning has been |
| issued if it is encountered in the build file. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * The default logger was failing to print complete stack traces for exceptions |
| other than BuildException, thus omitting often important diagnostic |
| information. Bugzilla 43398. |
| |
| * Error in FTP task |
| Bugzilla report 41724 |
| |
| * Regression: Locator fails with URI encoding problem when spaces in path |

| **/*.java as the documentation claims and earlier revisions did. |
| Bugzilla report 41264. |
| |
| * SPI support in jar was broken. |
| Bugzilla report 41201. |
| |
| * jsch-0.1.30 causes SCP task to hang |
| Bugzilla report 41090. |
| |
| * Target from imported file listed twice in projecthelp. |
| Bugzilla report 41226. |
| |
| * <sql> task double-expands properties if expandproperties is true, |
| and expands properties if expandproperties is false. |
| Bugzilla report 41204. |
| |
| * Rolling back Bugzilla 32927 (set a default description for a javadoc tag |
| if not set) as it caused a BC problem. |
| Bugzilla report 41268. |
| |
| * <apt> forks properly and so memory settings are picked up. |
| Bug report 41280. |
| |
| * Regression: NPE was thrown when using <pathconvert> against a |
| (third-party instantiated) fileset with null Project reference. |
| |
| * Strip out all -J arguments to non forking rmic adapters, specifically |
| the Sun and Weblogic compilers. |
| Bug report 41349 |
| |
| * Synchonization issues in PropertyHelper. Bugzilla 41353. |
| |

| |
| * Handle null result of system getProperty(). Bugzilla 42334. |
| |
| * Regression: concat fixlastline="true" should not have applied to |
| nested text, but did in Ant 1.7.0. Bugzilla 42369. |
| |
| * Regression: ant.version was not passed down in <subant>. |
| This worked in Ant1.6.5, but not in 1.7.0. Bugzilla bug 42263 |
| |
| * Regression: bzip2 task created corrupted output files for some inputs. |
| Bugzilla bug 41596. |
| |
| * Regression: <available> with <filepath> did not work. |
| Bugzilla 42735. |
| |
| * ant script, cd may output to stdout. |
| Bugzilla 42739. |
| |
| * Modified selector doesn't update the cache if only one file has changed. |
| Bugzilla 42802. |
| |
| * Regression: Path subclasses that overrode list() stopped working in |
| resourceCollection contexts in Ant 1.7.0. Bugzilla 42967. |
| |
| * <property> supports loading from xml based property definition. |
| Bugzilla 42946 |
| |
| * <junit> supports collecting and rerunning failed test cases |
| (textXXX methods). Bugzilla 42984. |
| |
| * War task failed with "No WEB-INF/web.xml file was added" when called |
| a second time. Bugzilla 43121. |
| |
| * FilterMapper could throw an NPE. |
| Bugzilla 43292. |
| |
| * Regession nested macrodefs with elements could cause StackOverFlow. |
| Bugzilla 43324. |
| |
| * Some changes to <junit> broke third party tasks that extend it (like |
| Apache Cactus' Ant task). The changes have been modified so that |
| subclases should now work again - without any changes to the |
| subclass. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * Various small optimizations speed up common tasks such as <javac> on large |
| filesets, reducing both I/O and CPU usage. |
| |
| * Profiling logger has been added with basic profiling capabilities. |
| |
| * <script> now has basic support for JavaFX scripts |
| |
| * SSH task can now take a command parameter containing the commands to execute. |
| This allows you to connect to a server and execute a number of commands |
| without constantly reconnecting for each command. |
| |
| * Upgraded XML API to XML commons version 1.3.04. |
| |
| * Upgraded to Xerces 2.9.0 |
| |
| * <script> can now work with bsf.jar and js.jar in its <classpath>. |
| |
| * add errorProperty and updatedProperty to <javac> |
| Bugzilla 35637 and 28941. |
| |
| * add classpathref attribute to <whichresource> |
| Bugzilla 41158. |
| |
| * reduce logging noise of <apply skipemptyfilesets="true"> |
| Bugzilla 29154 |
| |
| * Show Previous Revision in the tagdiff.xsl stylesheet |
| Bugzilla 29143 |
| |
| * Allow <mapper refid> to refer directly to a FileNameMapper instance. |
| |
| * If you try and use a type in a namespace (or an antlib), and the type is not |
| recognized but there are other definitions in that namespace, Ant lists what |
| the known definitions are. This helps you find spelling errors. |
| |
| * Add a <last> resource collection, corresponding to <first>. |
| |
| * Add new <truncate> task. |
| |
| * <junitreport> xsl stylesheets allow setting the title used in <title> and <h1> tags by |
| using <report><param> element. Bugzilla 41742. |
| |
| * Add IgnoreDependenciesExecutor for weird cases when the user wants to run |
| only the targets explicitly specified. |
| |
| * Patternset allows nested inverted patternsets using <invert>. |
| |
| * <manifest> checks for validity of attribute names. |
| |
| * JUnitVersionHelper.getTestCaseClassName is now public. Bugzilla 42231 |
| |
| * <string> resource supports nested text. Bugzilla bug 42276 |
| |
| * <scriptdef> now sources scripts from nested resources/resource collections. This lets you |
| define scripts in JARs, remote URLs, or any other supported resource. Bugzilla report 41597. |
| |
| * <concat> is now usable as a single-element ResourceCollection. |
| |
| * It is now possible to provide the value of a <striplinecomments> filter's |
| <comment> nested element as nested text instead of using the 'value' |
| attribute. |
| |
| * A new logger, BigProjectLogger, lists the project name with every target |
| |
| * Default text added to macrodef. Bugzilla report 42301. |
| |
| * "rawblobs" attribute added to SQL task. |
| |
| * Add new retry task container. |
| |
| * <jar> has a new strict attribute that checks if the jar complies with |
| the jar packaging version specification. |
| |
| * <javac> has a new attribute - includeDestClasses. |
| Bugzilla 40776. |
| |
| * <fileset> has a new attribute - errorOnMissingDir. |
| Bugzilla 11270. |
| |
| * <javac> handles package-info.java files, there were repeatedly compiled. |
| Bugzilla 43114. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.6.5 to Ant 1.7.0 |
| =================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| ------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * Initial support for JDK 6 (JSR 223) scripting. |
| <*script*> tasks will now use javax.scripting if BSF is |
| not available, or if explicitly requested by using |
| a "manager" attribute. |
| |
| * Removed launcher classes from nodeps jar. |
| |
| * <classconstants> filter reader uses ISO-8859-1 encoding to read |
| the java class file. Bugzilla report 33604. |
| |
| * Defer reference process. Bugzilla 36955, 34458, 37688. |
| This may break build files in which a reference was set in a target which was |
| never executed. Historically, Ant would set the reference early on, during parse |
| time, so the datatype would be defined. Now it requires the reference to have |
| been in a bit of the build file which was actually executed. If you get |
| an error about an undefined reference, locate the reference and move it somewhere |
| where it is used, or fix the depends attribute of the target in question to |
| depend on the target which defines the reference/datatype. |
| As a result of testing on real live build scripts, a fall-back mechanism |
| was put it place to allow references that are out-of-band to be resolved. If |
| this happens a big warning message is logged. This fall-back mechanism will |
| be removed in Ant 1.8.0. |
| |
| * <script> and <scriptdef> now set the current thread context. |
| |
| * Unrestrict the dbvendor names in the websphere element of the ejbjar task. |
| Bugzilla Report 40475. |
| |
| * <env> nested element in <java>, <exec> and others is now case-insensitive |
| for windows OS. Bugzilla Report 28874. |
| |
| * Removed support for xalan1 completely. Users of Xalan1 for Ant builds will |
| have to stay at ant 1.6.5 or upgrade to xalan2. |
| |
| * Use org.apache.log4j.Logger instead of org.apache.log4j.Category. |
| Category has been deprecated for ~2 years and has been removed from |
| the log4j code. Logger was introduced in log4j 1.2 so users of |
| log4j 1.1 and log4j 1.0 need to upgrade to a newer version of log4j. |
| Bugzilla Report 31951. |
| |
| * build.sysclasspath now also affects the bootclasspath handling of |
| spawned Java VMs. If you set build.sysclasspath to anything other |
| than "ignore" (or leave it unset, since "ignore" is the default when |
| it comes to bootclasspath handling), then the bootclasspath of the |
| VM running Ant will be added to the bootclasspath you've specified. |
| |
| * The <java fork="false"> now as per default installs a security manager |
| using the default permissions. This is now independent of the |
| failonerror attribute. Bugzilla report 33361. |
| |
| * <signjar> now notices when the jar and signedjar are equal, and switches |
| to the same dependency logic as when signedjar is omitted. This may break |
| something that depended upon signing in this situation. However, since |
| invoking the JDK jarsigner program with -signedjar set to the source jar |
| actually crashes the JVM on our (Java1.5) systems, we don't think any |
| build files which actually worked will be affected by the change. |
| |
| * <signjar> used to ignore a nested fileset when a jar was also provided as an |
| attribute, printing a warning message; now it signs files in the fileset. |
| |
| * An improved method of handling timestamp granularity differences between |
| client and server was added to the <ftp> task. FTP servers typically |
| have HH:mm timestamps whereas local filesystems have HH:mm:ss timestamps. |
| Previously, this required tweaking with the timediffmillis attribute |
| which also was used to handle timezone differences. Now, there is a new |
| timestampgranularity attribute. The default value for get operations is 0 |
| since the user has the more powerful preservelastmodified attribute to work |
| with. Since this is not available on put operations the default value |
| adds a minute to the server timestamp in order to account for this, |
| Scripts which previously used timediffmillis to do this compensation may |
| need to be rewritten. timediffmillis has now been deprecated. |
| |
| * Support for the XSL:P XML parser has been removed. |
| Bugzilla Report 23455. |
| |
| * Visual Age for Java optional tasks removed as the required library is no |
| longer available. |
| |
| * Testlet (test) optional task removed as the required library is no |
| longer available. |
| |
| * IContract optional task removed as the required library is no |
| longer available. |
| |
| * Metamata (maudit, mmetrics, and mparse tasks) removed as the required |
| library is no longer available. |
| |
| * Sitraka (jpcoverage, jpcovmerge, jpcovreport) tasks suppressed as the |
| required library is no longer available. |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> used \r (Mac) line endings on OS X, whose proper line separator |
| is \n (Unix). Bugzilla report 39585. |
| |
| * <scp> now optionally supports the sftp protocol, you may need a |
| newer jsch.jar. Bugzilla Report 39373. |
| |
| * Ant launcher program prints errors to stderr, and exits with a 2 exit code |
| value if, for any reason, it cannot actually start Ant proper. This will only |
| affect programs/scripts that called the launcher and which did not want to |
| receive an error if Ant itself would not start |
| |
| * All .NET tasks are now deprecated in favor of the new .NET Antlib: |
| http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/dotnet/index.html |

| * XmlProperty overrides previously set property value when handling duplicate |
| elements. Bugzilla 41080. |
| |
| * Having many tasks causes OOM. Bugzilla 41049. |
| |
| * Regression: <path> was evaluating nested content only once, so that it could |
| not e.g. pick up files that didn't exist the first time through. |
| Bugzilla 41151. |
| |
| * OOM caused by IH holding on to classes and thus their classloaders. |
| Bugzilla 28283 and 33061. |
| |
| * <delete> doesnt delete when defaultexcludes="false" and no includes is set |

| |
| * <javac> fails with NPE when compiling with eclipse ecj 3.1.x. |

| |
| * ant.bat now looks in %USERPROFILE% and %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% in addition to |
| %HOME% for pre/post batch files. Bugzilla report 39298. |
| |
| * The inheritance hierarchy of the legacy <path> type was changed; code built |
| against Ant 1.7 would therefore no longer execute on older versions of Ant. |
| Since <path> is historically heavily used this was undesirable, and since it |
| is also avoidable, the change to <path>'s taxonomy was reverted. |
| |
| * <zip filesonly="true"> included empty directories. Bugzilla report 40258. |
| |

| * <available> searched parent directories for files. |
| Bugzilla report 37148. |
| |
| * The build could be halted if a file path contained more ".." components than |
| the actual depth of the preceding path. Now such paths are left |
| alone (meaning they will likely be treated as nonexistent |
| files). Bugzilla Report 40281. |
| |
| * Converting a <dirset> to a string was broken. Bugzilla Report 39683. |
| |
| * Manifests have improved line length handling, taking care of encoding. |

| |
| * Calling close twice on ReaderInputStream gave a nullpointer exception. |
| Bugzilla Report 35544. |
| |
| * Memory leak from IntrospectionHelper.getHelper(Class) in embedded |

| stub version to always be "compat", even on Java1.5+. |
| |
| * The .NET compilation tasks failed if filenames given as references |
| contained spaces. Bugzilla Report 27170. |

| Bugzilla 40754. |
| |
| * Add quiet attribute to loadfile/resource. |

| distribution. Bugzilla 40980. |
| |
| * Roll back automatic proxy enabling on Java 1.5. It broke things like |

| To enable the feature, use the -autoproxy command line option. |
| |
| * Upgraded XML API and parser to Xerces 2.8.1 |
| |

| of Watchdog, ExecuteWatchdog and ExecuteJava, which could reduce the occurence |
| of race conditions here, especially on Java1.5+. |

| break too many files - so allow them with a warning. |
| |
| * Removed dependency on sun.misc.UUEncoder for UUMailer. |
| |
| * Added regex attribute to the echoproperties task. |
| Bugzilla 40019. |
| |

| results of their comparison to other resources. |
| |
| * Added outputtoformatters attribute to <junit> to allow suppression |
| of noisey tests. Bugzilla report 12817. |

| * Added searchparents attribute to <available>. Bugzilla report 39549. |
| |
| * Tasks that don't extend Ant's Task class will now get the build file |
| location reflected into a method of the signature void setLocation(Location) |
| - if such a method exists. |
| |
| * Remove needless synchronization in DirectoryScanner. |
| Bugzilla report 40237. |

| |
| * Task will now log correctly even if no project is set. |
| Bugzilla report 38458. |
| |
| * Use alternative names for the command line arguments in javac. Bugzilla |
| Report 37546. |
| |
| * The Reference class now has a project field that will get |
| used (if set) in preference to the passed in project, when |
| dereferencing the reference. Bugzilla Report 25777. |
| |
| * On DOS and Netware, filenames beginning with a drive letter |
| and followed by a colon but with no directory separator following |
| the colon are no longer (incorrectly) accepted as absolute pathnames |
| by FileUtils.normalize() and FileUtils.isAbsolutePath(). Netware |
| volumes can still be specified without an intervening separator. |
| UNC pathnames on Windows must include a server and share name, i.e. |
| "\\a\b" to be considered valid absolute paths. |
| |
| * A bug in SQLExec would prevent the execution of trailing, |
| non-semicolon-delimited statements. Bugzilla Report 37764. |
| |
| * InputHandler implementations may now call InputRequest.getDefaultValue() |

| |
| * Improve compatibility with GNU Classpath and java versions prior to |
| 1.5. Bugzilla 39027. |

| |
| * Log fine-grained events at verbose level from JUnit. Bugzilla report 31885. |
| |

| |
| * <echoproperties> now (alphanumerically) sorts the property list |
| before echoing. Bugzilla report 18976. |

| creation of tasks with multiple actions. |
| |
| * Major revision of <wsdltodotnet>. Supports mono wsdl and the microsoft |
| wsdl run on mono, as well as most of the .NET WSE2.0 options. Extra |
| schemas (files or urls) can be named in the <schema> element. |

| to "microsoft" on windows, and "mono" on everything else. |
| |
| * It is now possible to specify the pattern created/parsed by <checksum>. |
| Bugzilla Report 16539. |

| |
| * Added <scriptselector> selector for scripted file selection |
| |
| * ant -diagnostics lists contents of ${user.home}/.ant/lib , and |
| checks that the java.io.tmpdir directory exists and is writeable. |
| |
| * mail task accepts nested header element. Bugzilla report 24713. |
| |
| * zip/jar/war/ear supports level attribute for deflate compression level. |

| for XML Schema (XSD) files. |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> supports a file attribute for easy fixup of a single file. |

| property support in the parser Ant is using. |
| |
| * fixcrlf can be used in a filterchain. |
| |
| * <sync> has a new nested element <preserveInTarget> that can be used |
| to protect extra-content in the target directory. Bugzilla Report |
| 21832. |
| |
| * <signjar> now supports: |
| -nested filesets at the same time as the jar attribute |
| -a destDir attribute with the appropriate dependency logic, which |
| can be used with the jar attribute or nested filesets |
| -a mapper to permit filename remapping on signing |
| -tsaurl and tsacert attributes for timestamped JAR signing |
| -nested <sysproperty> elements, which can be used for proxy setup |
| and the like |
| |
| * The linecontains and linecontainsregexp filterreaders now support a |
| negate attribute to select lines -not- containing specified text. |
| Bugzilla Report 34374. |
| |
| * <os> condition adds "winnt" as a family which can be tested. This is |
| all windows platforms other than the Win9x line or Windows CE. |
| |
| * <exec> (and hence, <apply> and any other derived classes) have an OsFamily |
| attribute, which can restrict execution to a single OS family. |
| |
| * Added "backtrace" attribute to macrodef. Bugzilla report 27219. |
| |
| * Ant main provides some diagnostics if it ever sees a -cp or -lib option, |
| as this is indicative of a script mismatch. Bugzilla report 34860 |
| |
| * <junitreport> prints a special message if supplied an empty XML File. This |
| can be caused by the test JVM exiting during a test, either via a |
| System.exit() call or a JVM crash. |
| |
| * Project name is now used for *all* targets so one can write consistent import |
| build files. Bugzilla report 28444. |
| |
| * New condition <typefound> that can be used to probe for the declaration |
| and implementation of a task, type, preset, macro, scriptdef, whatever. |
| As it tests for the implementation, it can be used to check for optional |
| tasks being available. |
| |
| * Check for 1.5.* Ant main class. (weblogic.jar in classpath reports) |
| |
| * New condition <isfailure> that tests the return-code of an executable. This |
| contains platform-specific logic and is better than comparing the result with |
| "0". |
| |
| * Added initial support for Resource Collections, including the |
| resourcecount task. |
| |
| * property attribute of pathconvert is now optional. If omitted the |
| result will be written to the log. |
| |

| alltests-fails.html, that list only the errors and failures, respectively. |
| Bugzilla Report: 36226 |
| |
| * New task <makeurl> that can turn a file reference into an absolute file:// |
| url; and nested filesets/paths into a (space, comma, whatever) separated |
| list of URLs. Useful for RMI classpath setup, amongst other things. |
| |
| * <xslt> now accepts nested FileNameMappers e.g. <globmapper>. |
| Bugzilla report 37604. |
| |
| * New task <loadresource> that accompanies <loadfile> for non file resources. |
| |
| * <echo> now supports an encoding when saving to a file. |
| |

| * New <resourcesmatch> condition. |
| |
| * Added the onmissingfiltersfile attribute to filterset. Bugzilla report 19845. |
| |
| * Added the inline handler element to the input task. |
| |
| * <sql> supports property expansion if you set the expandProperties |
| attribute. By default it does not expand properties, something we |
| dare not change for fear of breaking complex SQL operations in |
| existing files. |
| |
| * <javadoc>'s packagenames attribute is now optional and defaults to "*". |
| |
| * <javac>'s source and target attributes as well as <javadoc>'s source |
| attribute will read default values from the properties |
| ant.build.javac.source and ant.build.javac.target. |
| |
| * Handling of ' ', '#' in CLASSPATH and '#' in -lib (cannot use ' ' |
| in -lib on UNIX at the moment). Bugzilla Report 39295. |
| |
| * <scp> now optionally supports the sftp protocol. Bugzilla Report 39373. |
| |
| * Resources can now be used to indicate the location of the stylesheet to use |
| in <xslt>. Bugzilla Report 39407. |
| |

| |
| * Minor performance updates. Bugzilla report 39565. |
| |
| * New deleteonexit attribute for the <tempfile> task. Bugzilla report 39842. |
| Remember that the exit of the JVM can be a long time coming, |
| especially under an IDE. Don't rely on this being called. |
| |
| * <scriptdef>-created scripts have support for nested text. All text |
| passed to a scripted task can be accessed via self.text. |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> now supports an outputencoding attribute. Bugzilla report 39697. |

| Changes from Ant 1.6.4 to Ant 1.6.5 |
| =================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <move> was unable to replace existing files or write into |
| existing directories. Bugzilla report 34962. |
| |
| * <macrodef> with redefined default values was incorrect. (Fix for |
| 31215 had a bug). Bugzilla report 35109. |
| |
| * <javadoc> will convert backslashes to forwardslashes when generating file |
| list by useexternalfile. Bugzilla report 27814. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.6.3 to Ant 1.6.4 |
| =================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| * <ftp> task has had a number of changes. Uptodate calculation previously |
| did not call a file uptodate if the source timestamp and the destination |
| timestamp were equal. Bugzilla report 34941. Any script that attempted |
| to compensate for this by using the timediffmillis attribute might need |
| to be tweaked. |
| |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * Sun javah failed with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. |
| Bugzilla report 34681. |
| |
| * DirectoryScanner.slowScan() was broken. Bugzilla report 34722. |
| |
| * DirectoryScanner.scan() could throw a NullPointerException on |
| case-insensitive filesystems (read Windows or MacOS X). |
| |
| * Get w/authentication failed with ArrayOutOfBoundsExceptions. |
| Bugzilla report 34734. |
| |
| * Granularity attribute for <sync> task was undocumented. |
| Bugzilla report 34871. |
| |
| * <unzip> and <untar> could leave file handles open on invalid |
| archives. Bugzilla report 34893. |
| |
| * propertyset threw NPE with nested, mapped propertysets. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * AntXMLContext.setCurrentTargets() is now public. Bugzilla report 34680. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.6.2 to Ant 1.6.3 |
| =================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * The subant task used the canonical version of a file path. This |
| has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 30438. |
| |
| * Tar now writes two EOF blocks rather than one. |
| Bugzilla report 28776 |
| |
| * The Reference object now has a project field which it uses in preference |
| to the project passed in. This allows composite references to be |
| handled to nested projects. |
| Bugzilla report 25777 |
| |
| * <junit> with filtertrace="true" will now also swallow lines for the |
| sun.reflect package. If you need to see them in your stack trace, |
| you must set filtertrace to false. |
| Bugzilla Report 22758 |
| |
| * The jikes compiler adapter now supports -bootclasspath, -extdirs and |
| -sourcepath and also uses the same logic for debug flags as javac. |
| This means, the jikes compiler adapter now requires Jikes 1.15 or later. |
| Bugzilla Reports 25868, 26404 and 32609. |
| |
| * The gcj compiler adapter used to include the Java runtime classes |
| even if includeJavaRuntime was set to false, unless the |
| bootclasspath has been specified as well. It will now always adhere |
| to includeJavaRuntime, you may need to set it to true explicitly now |
| if you relied on the old behavior. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * <javadoc> can now take an attribute 'executable'. Bugzilla report 30606. |
| |
| * New attribute ignorecontents for <different> selector |
| |

| |
| * New attribute alwayslog for <redirector> type. |
| |
| * Added <target> nested elements to <ant> and <antcall> to allow |
| specification of multiple sub-build targets, which are executed |
| with a single dependency analysis. |
| |
| * Refactored Target invocation into org.apache.tools.ant.Executor |
| implementations. Bugzilla Reports 21421, 29248. |
| |
| * <rmic> now also supports Kaffe's rmic version shipping with Kaffe |
| 1.1.2 and above. |

| Bugzilla report 32487 |
| |
| * added a new mapper <filtermapper> |
| |
| * When a BuildListener tried to access System.err or System.out, Ant |
| would have thrown an exception - this has been changed. Ant now |
| silently ignores the message. BuildListeners still should avoid |
| accessing either stream. |
| |
| * Added a comment attribute to the zip task. |
| Bugzilla report 22793. |
| |
| * Overloaded FileUtils.createNewFile with a boolean mkdirs attribute |
| to create nonexistent parent directories. |
| |
| * <apply> has a new "force" attribute that, when true, disables |
| checking of target files. |
| |
| * Made the dest attribute of the apply task optional; mapped target |
| filenames will be interpreted as absolute pathnames when dest is omitted. |
| |
| * Changed default tempdir for <javac> from user.dir to java.io.tmpdir. |
| |
| * Added searchpath attribute to <exec> for searching path variable(s) |

| mapper element. |
| |
| * Added support to the touch task for a verbose attribute to suppress |
| logging of new file creation. |
| |
| * bad link in docs to the enhancement page in bugzilla. |
| Bugzilla report 33252. |
| |
| * Added length task to get strings' and files' lengths. |
| |

| |
| * Recursive token expansion in a filterset can now be disabled by |
| setting its recurse attribute to false. |
| |
| * Pathconvert no longer requires that one of (targetos|pathsep|dirsep) |
| be set; platform defaults are used when this is the case. |
| |
| * Added preservelastmodified attribute to fixcrlf task. Bugzilla 25770. |
| |
| * Added isfileselected condition. |
| |
| * Added verbose="true|false" attribute to <subant>. When verbose is enabled, |
| the directory name is logged on entry and exit of the sub-build. |
| Bugzilla 33787. |
| |
| * Added -nouserlib option to allow running ant without automatically loading |
| up ${user.home}/.lib/ant. This is useful when compiling ant, and antlibs. |
| Modified the build.sh and build.bat to use the option. |
| |
| * Added -noclasspath option to allow running ant WITHOUT using CLASSPATH env |
| variable. Modified ant.bat to do this so that %CLASSPATH% is not looked at. |
| |
| * Add else attribute to the condition task, which specifies an |
| optional alternate value to set the property to if the nested |
| condition evaluates to false. Bugzilla report 33074. |
| |
| * Ant generated jar files should now be detected as jar files by |
| Solaris. Bugzilla Report 32649. |
| |
| * <rexec> with a single command should now work with unusal login |
| dialogs without special read/write pairs. Bugzilla Report 26632. |
| |
| * <csc>'s extraoptions can now contain multiple arguments. |
| Bugzilla Report 23599. |
| |
| * <macrodef> with default values set by properties would be |
| seen as new definitions when called twice with different properties. |
| This was confusing so the definitions are now treated as similar. |
| Bugzilla Report 31215. |
| |
| * <javadoc> has a new attribute "includenosourcepackages" that can be |
| used to document packages that don't hold source files but a |
| package.html file. Bugzilla Report 25339. |
| |
| * <rpm> has new attributes failonerror and quiet. |
| |
| * Added two tutorials |
| - beginner: introduction into Ant |
| - task developers: using path, fileset etc |
| |
| * a number of new attributes that allow the user to handle non-standard |
| server listing formats and time zone differences have been added in |
| the <ftp> task. |
| |

| |
| Changes from Ant 1.6.1 to Ant 1.6.2 |
| =================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * The import task used the canonical version of a file path. This |
| has been changed to use the absolute path. Bugzilla 28505. |
| |
| * ant-xalan2.jar has been removed since the only class contained in it |
| didn't depend on Xalan-J 2 at all. Its sole dependency has always |
| been TraX and so it has been merged into ant-trax.jar. |
| |
| * All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a buildexception |
| giving the location in the buildfile of the task. |
| |
| * Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the |
| Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace. |
| |
| * <junitreport> will very likely no longer work with Xalan-J 1. |
| |
| Note that Xalan-J 1 has been deprecated for a very long time and we |
| highly recommend that you upgrade. |
| |
| If you really need to continue using Xalan-J 1, please copy the |
| junit-frames-xalan1.xsl from the distribution's etc directory as |
| junit-frames.xsl into a new directory and use the task's styledir |
| attribute to point to. This is the last version of the XSLT |
| stylesheet that is expected to be compatible with Xalan-J 1. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * eliminate memory leak in AntClassLoader. Bugzilla Report 8689. |
| |
| * subant haltonfailure=false did not catch all failures. Bugzilla Report 27007. |
| |
| * macrodef @@ escaping was broken. Bugzilla Report 27069. |
| |
| * MacroDef did not allow attributes named 'description'. Bugzilla Report 27175. |
| |
| * Throw build exception if name attribute missing from patternset#NameEntry. |
| Bugzilla Report 25982. |
| |
| * Throw build exception if target repeated in build file, but allow targets |
| to be repeated in imported files. |
| |
| * <apply> didn't compare timestamps of source and targetfiles when |
| using a nested <filelist>. Bugzilla Report 26985. |
| |
| * tagdiff.xml was broken in ant 1.6.1. Bugzilla Report 27057. |
| |
| * if the basedir contained .. or . dirs, and the build file name contained |
| .. or ., the basedir was set incorrectly. Bugzilla Report 26765. |
| |
| * regression from ant 1.5, exec task outputted two redundant trailing newlines. |
| Bugzilla Report 27546. |
| |
| * NPE when running commons listener. Bugzilla Report 27373. |
| |
| * <java> swallowed the stack trace of exceptions thrown by the |
| executed program if run in the same VM. |
| |
| * -projecthelp swallowed (configuration) errors silently. |
| Bugzilla report 27732. |
| |
| * filterset used by filtertask doesn't respect loglevel. Bugzilla Report 27568. |
| |
| * wrong compare used in ProjectComponent for logging. Bugzilla Report 28070. |
| |
| * failOnAny attribute for <parallel> was broken. Bugzilla Report 28122. |
| |
| * If <javac> uses gcj and any of the nested <compilerarg>s implies |
| compilation to native code (like -o or --main), Ant will not pass |
| the -C switch to gcj. This means you can now compile to native code |
| with gcj which has been impossible in Ant < 1.6.2. |
| |
| * <import optional="false"> and <import optional="true"> |
| behaved identically. |
| |
| * <xslt> now sets the context classloader if you've specified a nested |
| <classpath>. Bugzilla Report 24802. |
| |
| * <zip> and friends would delete the original file when trying to update |
| a read-only archive. Bugzilla Report 28419. |
| |
| * <junit> and <assertions> are working together. Bugzilla report 27218 |
| |
| * AntClassLoader#getResource could return invalid URLs. Bugzilla |
| Report 28060. |
| |
| * Ant failed to locate tools.jar if the jre directory name wasn't all |
| lowercase. Bugzilla Report 25798. |
| |
| * Redirector exhibited inconsistent behavior with regard to split |
| output. When sent to file only, files would be created in all |
| cases; when split file-property, files were only created if |
| writes were performed. |
| |
| * fixed case handling of scriptdef attributes and elements. |
| |
| * UNC pathnames did not work for ANT_HOME or -lib locations on Windows. |
| Bugzilla report 27922. |
| |
| * replacestring tokenfilter only replaced the first occurrence. |
| |
| * AntLikeTasksAtTopLevelTest failed on cygwin. |
| |
| * I/O-intensive processes hung when executed via <exec spawn="true">. |
| Bugzilla reports 23893/26852. |
| |
| * JDependTask did not close an output file. Bugzilla Report 28557. |
| |
| * Using <macrodef> could break XmlLogger. Bugzilla Report 28993. |
| |
| * <genkey> no longer requires keytool to be in your PATH. Bugzilla |
| Report 29382. |
| |
| * <symlink> could create cyclic links. Bugzilla Report 25181. |
| |
| * <zip whenempty="skip"> didn't work in a common situation. Bugzilla |
| Report 22865. |
| |
| * <scp> now properly handles remote files and directories with spaces |
| in their names. Bugzilla Report 26097. |
| |
| * <scp> now has (local|remote)tofile attributes to rename files on the |
| fly. Bugzilla Report 26758. |
| |
| * <telnet> and <rexec> didn't close the session. Bugzilla Report 25935. |
| |
| * <subant> and XmlLogger didn't play nicley together. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| * doc fix concerning the dependencies of the ftp task |
| Bugzilla Report 29334. |

| * Docs fixes for xmlvalidate.html, javadoc.html, starteam. |
| Bugzilla Reports 27092, 27284, 27554. |
| |
| * <pathconvert> now accepts nested <mapper>s. Bugzilla Report 26364. |
| |
| * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces-J 2.6.2. |
| |

| |
| * spelling fixes, occurred. Bugzilla Report 27282. |
| |
| * add uid and gid to tarfileset. Bugzilla Report 19120. |
| |
| * <scp> has a verbose attribute to get some feedback during the |
| transfer and new [local|remote][File|Todir] alternatives to file and |
| todir that explicitly state the direction of the transfer. |
| |
| * The OS/2 wrapper scripts have been adapted to use the new launcher. |
| Bugzilla Report 28226. |
| |
| * <sshexec> now also captures stderr output. Bugzilla Report 28349. |
| |
| * <xslt> now supports a nested <mapper>. Bugzilla Report 11249. |
| |
| * <touch> has filelist support. |
| |
| * <nice> task lets you set the priority of the current thread; non-forking |
| <java> code will inherit this priority in their main thread. |
| |
| * New attribute "negate" on <propertyset> to invert selection criteria. |
| |
| * Target now supports a Location member. Bugzilla Report 28599. |
| |
| * New "pattern" attribute for <date> selector. |
| |
| * <junit> has a new forkmode attribute that controls the number of |
| Java VMs that get created when forking tests. This allows you to |
| run all tests in a single forked JVM reducing the overhead of VM |
| creation a lot. Bugzilla Report 24697. |
| |
| * <jar> can now optionally create an index for jars different than the |
| one it currently builds as well. See the new <indexjars> element |
| for details. Bugzilla Report 14255. |
| |
| * Permit building under JDK 1.5. Bugzilla Report 28996. |

| |
| * A new roundup attribute on <zip> and related task can be used to |
| control whether the file modification times inside the archive will |
| be rounded up or down (since zips only store modification times with |
| a granularity of two seconds). The default remains to round up. |
| Bugzilla Report 17934. |
| |
| * A binary option has been added to <concat>. Bugzilla Report 26312. |
| |

| |
| * <loadproperties> supports loading from a resource. |
| Bugzilla Report 28340. |
| |
| * Nested file mappers and a container mapper implementation have been |
| introduced. Additionally, the <mapper> element now accepts "defined" |
| nested FileNameMapper implementations directly, allowing a usage |
| comparable to those of <condition>, <filter>, and <selector>. |
| |
| * New <redirector> type introduced to provide extreme I/O flexibility. |
| Initial support for <exec>, <apply>, and <java> tasks. |
| |
| * <apply> has a new ignoremissing attribute (default true for BC) |
| which will allow nonexistent files specified via <filelist>s to |
| be passed to the executable. Bugzilla Report 29585. |
| |
| * <junitreport> now also works with Xalan XSLTC and/or JDK 1.5. |
| Bugzilla Report 27541. |
| |
| * <jspc> doesn't work properly with Tomcat 5.x. We've implemented a |
| work-around but don't intend to support future changes in Tomcat |
| 5.x. Please use the jspc task that ships with Tomcat instead of |
| Ant's. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.6.0 to Ant 1.6.1 |
| ============================================= |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * License is now Apache Software License 2.0 |
| see http://www.apache.org/licenses/ for more information |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| * Remove a recursive template call in the junit xsls that could trigger a stack |
| overflow. It now uses Xalan extensions to call a Java class directly. |
| Bugzilla Report 19301 |
| |
| * Fix spurious infinite loop detection for filters (introduced in ant 1.6.0). |
| Bugzilla Report 23154. |
| |
| * Fix handling of default ant namespace for nested elements. |
| |
| * Fix jboss element of ejb task (introduced in ant 1.6.0). |
| |
| * <whichresource> failed to load classes correctly. |
| |
| * Ant could fail to start with a NullPointerException if |
| ANT_HOME/lib/ant-launcher.jar was part of the system CLASSPATH. |
| |
| * presetdef'ed types did not work with the ant-type attribute |
| |
| * fixed case handling of macrodef attributes and elements. Bugzilla |
| Reports 25687 and 26225. |
| |
| * <java> ignored the append attribute, Bugzilla Report 26137. |
| |
| * The gcj compiler adapter for <javac> failed if the destination |
| directory didn't exist. Bugzilla Report 25856. |
| |
| * Ant now fails with a more useful message if a new process will be |
| forked in a directory and that directory doesn't exist. |
| |
| * <splash> used to break the build on non-GUI environments. Bugzilla |
| report 11482. |
| |
| * Ant 1.6.0 cannot run build scripts in directories with non-ASCII names. |
| Bugzilla Report 26642. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces-J 2.6.1 |
| |
| * Translate task logs a debug message specifying the number of files |
| that it processed. Bugzilla Report 13938. |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> has a new attribute - fixlast. Bugzilla Report 23262. |
| |
| * <p4submit> has 2 new attributes, needsresolveproperty and changeproperty. |
| Bugzilla Report 25711. |
| |
| * add description attributes to macrodef attributes and elements. |
| Bugzilla Report 24711. |
| |
| * Extending ClearCase Tasks : |
| - Added an extra option to 'failonerr' to each ClearCase task/command. |
| - Extended the functionality of cccheckout. It can check (notco) to see if |
| the desired element is already checked out to the current view. Thus it |
| won't attempt to check it out again. |
| - Added three new ClearCase commands: ccmkattr, ccmkdir, ccmkelem |
| Bugzilla Report 26253. |
| |
| * added nested text support to <macrodef> |
| |
| * added initial support for Java 1.5. Java 1.5 is now correctly |
| detected by Ant and treated just like Java 1.4. You can now specify |
| source="1.5" in the <javac> task. |
| |
| * created new task <cvsversion> |
| |
| * added support for branch logging via the tag attribute in <cvschangelog> |
| Bugzilla Report 13510. |
| |
| * added support the groovy language in the script and scriptdef tasks |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.5.4 to Ant 1.6.0 |
| =================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * This version of Ant can not be built with JDK 1.1 and requires at |
| least Java 1.2 at runtime as well. Compiling for a 1.1 target is |
| still supported. |
| |
| * Targets cannot have the empty string as their name any longer. |
| |
| * ant.jar's manifest does no longer include a Class-Path entry, so it |
| is no longer possible to run Ant via "java -jar ant.jar" without |
| manually altering the CLASSPATH. Instead of that a file |
| ant-bootstrap.jar is included in the etc directory of the binary |
| distribution, copy this to the lib directory and use |
| "java -jar ant-bootstrap.jar" instead if you want to run Ant without |
| the wrapper script (not recommended). |
| |
| * The <script> task now requires Apache BSF instead of the older IBM |
| version. See <http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/> |
| |
| * <xmlproperty> will no longer fail if the file to be loaded doesn't exist. |
| |
| * XML namespaces are now enabled in the XML parser, meaning XML namespace |
| declarations no longer cause errors. However task names containing colons |
| will cause errors unless there is a corresponding namespace uri. |
| |
| * The <ftp> and <telnet> tasks now require Jakarta Commons Net instead |
| of the older ORO Netcomponents version. See |
| <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/index.html>. |
| |
| * <input> will no longer prompt the user and wait for input if the |
| addproperty attribute is set to a property that has already been |
| defined in the project. If you rely on the task waiting for input, |
| don't use the addproperty attribute. |
| |
| * The Class-Path attribute in manifests will no longer merge the |
| entries of all manifests found, but will be treated like all other |
| manifest attributes - the most recent attribute(s) will be used. |
| |
| * New Launch mechanism implemented. This moves some functionality from |
| the batch files / shell scripts into Java. This removes environment |
| limitations, for command issues, directory depth issues on Windows. Also |
| allows a per-user library location to be used if the main Ant install |
| is locked down. |
| |
| * The Entry nested element of PropertyFile will not any more have its value |
| attribute (actually increment) overwritten with the new value of the entry |
| after execution. |
| |
| * Output stored from a <java> or <exec> task is now exactly as generated. No |
| conversion to platform end-of-line characters is performed. |
| |
| * <translate> will now preserve line endings. |
| |
| * <ftp> followsymlinks="false" in nested fileset definitions is explicitly |
| required in order to exclude remote symbolic links (when doing a get, chmod, |
| delete, rmdir). |
| |
| * The values of the Copy#fileCopyMap variable has changed from String to |
| String[]. (In java 1.5 terms it was Hashtable<String, String> and |
| is now Hashtable<String, String[]>). This will affect third party code |
| that extend Copy and override Copy#doFileOperations. |
| |
| * <loadproperties> didn't expand properties while <property file="..."/> |
| does, so they were not equivalent. This has been fixed, which means |
| that propetries may get expanded twice if you use an |
| <expandproperties> filterreader. Bugzilla Report 17782. |
| |
| * User defined tasks and typedefs are now handled internally in the |
| same way as predefined tasks and typedefs. Also tasks and typedefs |
| are resolved at a later stage. This causes some |
| differences especially for user defined task containers. |
| |
| * <checksum> log message "Calculating checksum ..." has been degraded |
| from INFO to VERBOSE. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| * Filter readers were not handling line endings properly. Bugzilla |
| Report 18476. |
| |
| * Filtersets were also not handling line endings properly. |
| |
| * Expand tasks did not behave as expected with PatternSets. |
| |
| * <property environment=... /> now works on OS/400. |
| |
| * <cab> could hang listcab on large <fileset>s. |
| |
| * The starteam stcheckout, stcheckin tasks now correctly compute |
| status of files against whatever local tree they are run against |
| and, optionally, will not process a file if it is current. |
| Previously you had to process everything unless you ran against the |
| default folder which wasn't the normal use-case for ant-starteam. |
| The stlist task now similarly displays that status correctly making |
| it a more generally useful tool. |
| |
| * entity includes would cause exceptions if path names included spaces. |
| |
| * addConfiguredXXX would not work for TaskAdapter wrapped tasks |
| |
| * Fix <ilasm> outputfile testing so that the output file does not need |
| to exist beforehand. |
| |
| * Ant will now exit with a return code of 1 if it encounters problems |
| with the command line arguments. |
| |
| * ClassLoader creation changes to use a factory method in Project. A new |
| class AntClassLoader2 implemented for 1.2+ specific features including |
| Package information and addition of classes specified in the Class-Path |

| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * The Visual Age for Java tasks didn't work (at least for versions 3.0 |
| and higher). Bugzilla Report 10016. |
| |
| * URL-encoding in <vaj*port> didn't work properly. |

| =================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * The <zip> task and friends have again changed a method signature |
| (sorry, was necessary to fix bug 17780). The return type of |
| getResourcesToAdd has changed. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <zipfileset>'s filemode would get ignored and the dirmode was used |
| for the included files as well. As a side effect, WinZIP was unable |
| to extract or display the files, so they seemed to be missing from |
| the archive. Bugzilla Report 17648. |
| |
| * <ftp> could use the wrong path separator when trying to change the |
| remote working directory. Bugzilla Report 17735. |
| |
| * <jar update="true"> would loose all original files if you didn't |
| specify any nested <(zip)fileset>s and the manifest had changed. |
| Bugzilla Report 17780. |
| |
| * If you used a value starting with \ on Windows for the appxml |
| attribute of <ear> or the webxml attribute of <war>, it would be |
| ignored. Bugzilla Report 17871. |

| * Ant will no longer implicitly add Sun's rt.jar in <javac> when you |
| use jvc and don't specify a bootclasspath. Bugzilla Report 18055. |
| |
| * The prefix attribute of <zipfileset> would not generate directory |
| entries for the prefix itself. Bugzilla Report 18403. |
| |
| * starteam checkout can now handle deleted labels. Bugzilla Report 17646. |
| |
| * The Unix wrapper script failed if you invoked it as a relative |
| symlink and ANT_HOME has not been set. Bugzilla Report 17721. |
| |
| Other Changes: |
| -------------- |
| * Added ability to specify manifest encoding for the <jar> and |
| <manifest> tasks |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.5.1 to Ant 1.5.2 |
| ============================================= |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| * ANT_OPTS environment variable is now applied at the start of the |
| Java command line, allowing position specific parameters of some |
| JVMs, such as -classic to be specified. |
| |
| * ZipScanner#getIncludedFiles will now return the names of the ZipEntries |
| that have been matched instead of the name of the archive. |
| |
| * The <zip> task and friends have been heavily modified, almost every |
| method signature of the Zip class has changed. If you have subclassed |
| Zip (or one of its subclasses), your class will most likely not |
| compile against the current code base. If it still compiles, it will |
| probably not work as in Ant 1.5.1. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| * <translate> was not ignoring comment lines. |
| |
| * <manifest> wouldn't update an existing manifest if only an attribute |
| of an existing section changed. |
| |
| * ant.bat now supports the ANT_ARGS and JAVACMD environment variables |
| again (like Ant 1.5 did). |
| |
| * The "plain" <junit> <formatter> could throw a NullPointerException |
| if an error occurred in setUp. |
| |
| * <junit> will now produce output when a test times out as well. |
| |
| * <replace> would count some internal character replacements when |
| reporting the number of replaced tokens. |
| |
| * <concat> would cause an exception if a <filelist> pointed to files |
| that do not exist. |
| |
| * <javadoc> will now pass -source to custom doclets as well. |
| |
| * <cvstagdiff> would throw a NullPointException if there had been no |
| differences. |
| |
| * <cvschangelog> could miss today's changes. |
| |
| * <concat> could append newline characters between concatenated files. |
| |
| * <xmlvalidate> ignored the specified encoding of the files to |
| validate. |
| |
| * the errorsbeginat attribute of the <http> condition didn't work. |
| |
| * Ant will try to force loading of certain packages like com.sun.* |
| from the system classloader. The packages are determined by the |
| version of the JVM running Ant. |
| |
| * Ant didn't find the runtime libraries on IBM's JDK 1.4 for Linux. |
| |
| * random component of temporary files is now always a positive integer. |
| |
| * Ant could incorrectly try to use the 1.4 regexp implementation even |
| if it isn't available if you run the JVM with -Xverify:none. |
| |
| * Ant would die with an exception if you used nested <reference> |
| elements in Ant and the refid attribute didn't point to an existing |
| project reference. |
| |
| * The <get> task can now be compiled (and Ant thus bootstrapped) using |
| Kaffee. |
| |
| * build.sysclasspath will now be honored by more tasks. |
| |
| * The signjar keystore attribute has been reverted to a String allowing |
| it to once again accept URLs. This should not affect current File based usage |
| unless you are extending the Signjar task. |
| |
| * <jar update="true"> would remove the original manifest. |
| |
| * fix up folder creation in PVCS task |
| |
| * <tar>'s up-to-date check didn't work for nested <(tar)fileset>s. |
| |
| * Corrected a problem in XMLLogger where it would not associated |
| messages with a taskdef'd task |
| |
| * <uptodate> now works when using attributes (i.e. not filesets) and pointing |
| to the same file |
| |
| * Java task (and output system) now stores output which doos not end |
| with a line feed. |
| |
| * splash screen wouldn't disappear when build was finished. |
| |
| * <exec> now supports OS/2. |
| |
| * <zip> and friends would only update/recreate existing archives if |
| the files to add/update have been newer than the archive. |
| |
| * <javadoc>'s <link> element could fail for offline="true" on some JDKs. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * MailLogger now sets the Date header correctly. |
| |
| * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.3.0 |
| |
| * signjar now accepts a maxmemory attribute to allow the memory allocated to the |
| jarsigner tool to be specified. The jarsigner from the JDK's JAVA_HOME bin |
| dir is now used rather than the first jarsigner on the path. |
| |
| * **/.DS_Store has been added to the list of default pattern excludes. |
| |
| * The Created-By header in the default manifest now contains the JVM |
| vendor and version according to the jar specification. A new header, |
| Ant-Version provides the Ant version used to create the jar. |
| |
| * <zip> can now store Unix permissions in a way that can be |
| reconstructed by Info-Zip's unzip command. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.5.1Beta1 to 1.5.1 |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <tstamp>'s prefix attribute failed to apply to nested <format> elements. |
| |
| * <junitreport> created an empty junit-noframes.html if no format had |
| been specified. |
| |
| * <basename> would remove more than it should if the file name |
| contained more than one dot. |
| |
| * <filterset>s nested into <filterset>s didn't work. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.2.0 |
| |
| * Filesets now support a 'file' attribute, allowing a single-file |
| fileset to be constructed without having to specify its parent |
| directory separately. |
| |
| * <junit> will now return the result of a call to getName instead of |
| "unknown" for Test implementations that don't extend TestCase but have |
| a public String getName() method. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.5 to 1.5.1Beta1 |
| ================================== |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| * Date/time in CvsChangeLog was in local timezone and 12 hour format leading |
| to a problem when sorting by time. It is now UTC (GMT) and in 24-hour |
| format as per cvs 'specifications'. |
| |
| * CvsTagDiff now supports ampersand modules or modules that have a different |
| root directory than their name. |
| |
| * EjbJar threw NPEs for the Websphere element. The property 'websphere.home' |
| was not documented. |
| |
| * Mail example in the documentation was not correct. |
| |
| * Checksum was broken in the following scenario: |
| (using verifyproperty OR in a condition) AND using filesets |
| with multiple files. |
| |
| * The ExpandProperties filter threw NPEs when defined using |
| the <filterreader> format. |
| |
| * The sh wrapper script didn't work under Cygwin if ANT_HOME wasn't |
| set with a Unix style filename. |
| |
| * The sh wrapper script could fail if you started Ant from a directory |
| with whitespace in its name. |
| |
| * ant -diagnostics was not working properly when the task dependency |
| was missing and was just printing the missing dependency. |
| |
| * If a task got redefined via <taskdef>, it lost its child elements. |
| |
| * <property>'s classpathref attribute was broken. |
| |
| * <arg line="''" /> would result in no command line argument, will now |
| be a single empty argument. Use <arg value="''"/> if you need the |
| quotes literally. |
| |
| * <replaceregexp> could append a newline character at the end of the |
| file. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * Appendix E of Java Development with Ant (Loughran/Hatcher) was |
| contributed to the docs. |
| |
| * <available> will only print deprecration warnings if it is actually |
| used to change the value of a property. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.5beta3 to Ant 1.5 |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1 |
| release has been removed for now. This change may affect only |
| the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this |
| feature back into Ant 1.6. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set |
| the update attribute to true. |
| |
| * To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert> |
| will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty |
| string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off |
| (default is "true"). |
| |
| * The manifest task would crash XmlLogger |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.5beta2 to Ant 1.5beta3 |
| ========================================= |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1. |
| Now it is different from 1.5beta1 and 1.5beta2. |
| |
| * <pathconvert> won't set the property if the result is the empty string. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to |
| start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of |
| the basedir. |
| |
| * Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent |
| <ant> and <antcall> tasks. |
| |
| * <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything. |
| |
| * <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines. |
| |
| * <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes) |
| before the first task has been executed. This means that properties |
| that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other |
| tasks in the same <sequential> element. |
| |
| * <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler |
| implementations. |
| |
| * <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work. |
| |
| * the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>. |
| |
| * Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines. |
| |
| * ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors. |
| |
| * IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files. |
| |
| * <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even |
| though it doesn't support it. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size). |
| |
| * The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded |
| to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class |
| loader instance that has loaded the definition. |
| |
| * Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional |
| arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the |
| jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about |
| interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new |
| <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined. |
| Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a |
| directory into which the exploded jar is written. |
| |
| * ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5 |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.5beta1 to Ant 1.5beta2 |
| ========================================= |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies. This means |
| that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text $$. |
| |
| * org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask. |
| |
| * Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4, |
| this may break environments that have been adapted to the String |
| argument version present in 1.5beta1. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| * When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it |
| exists, before renaming the source file. However, <move> was not |
| checking if the destination file was actually a directory before |
| trying to delete it. |
| |
| * Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin. |
| |
| * Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing |
| Stack Overflows. |
| |
| * if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to |
| "modern" because there is no classic compiler any more. |
| |
| * the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now |
| it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an |
| errorsBeginAt attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value. |
| |
| * <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you |
| have set ignoreerrors to true. |
| |
| * <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower |
| case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it. |
| |
| * Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented. |
| |
| * paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed |
| on NetWare. |
| |
| * runant.pl now supports NetWare. |
| |
| * <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by |
| default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a |
| temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy |
| settings. |
| |
| * <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for |
| JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the |
| user-specified classpath. |
| |
| * <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS. |
| |
| * forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would |
| use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under |
| some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature. Ant will no |
| longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the |
| command line now. |
| |
| * the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s |
| nested into <antcall> didn't work. |
| |
| * <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s. |
| |
| * <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java |
| source files could be found below them. This has been backwards |
| incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet. |
| |
| * Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of |
| <javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions. |
| |
| * nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much. |
| |
| * <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to |
| non-existing directories. |
| |
| * <patch> didn't work at all. |
| |
| * <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working |
| on is locked. |
| |
| * <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK |
| 1.2 and AIX. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * z/OS now gets detected by the os condition. |
| |
| * <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute |
| that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms. |
| |
| * BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task. |
| |
| * <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans |
| based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00 Beta |
| this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use |
| ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc". |
| |
| * <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming |
| convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the |
| <ejbjar> attribute |
| |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1 |
| ================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped! |
| Before you panic that we have broken all your build files, we have kept |
| the old "$$" -> "$" behaviour. So only build files which accidentally had |
| a $ sign in a string that was being silently stripped may break. |
| We added this fix to stop newbie confusion; if you want to write a |
| build file which works on ant versions 1.4.1 or earlier, stay with |
| the double $$ sign rule. |
| |
| * Project.getBuildListeners now returns a clone of the listener |
| list. Changes to the returned list will not affect the listeners |
| currently attached to the Project. It also means that it is safe to |
| iterate over the returned list if listeners are added or removed |
| during the traversal. |
| |
| * <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1. |
| |
| * Some messages that are printed during startup will not be |
| written to the logfile specified via -logfile as they might destroy |
| the format of the file for special BuildLoggers (like XmlLogger). |
| |
| * The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1 |
| release has been removed for now. This change may affect only |
| the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this |
| feature back into Ant 1.6. |
| * Shipped XML parser is now Xerces 2.0.1 along with the XML Parser APIs. |
| XML Parser APIs is a separate jar that contains the necessary |
| JAXP/DOM/SAX classes. |
| |
| * <telnet> was fixed to expand properties inside nested <read> and |
| <write> elements; before this only happened when you assigned the text |
| to the string attribute. If you had $ signs in the string, they may |
| need escaping. |
| |
| * the RegexpMatcher interface has been extended to support case |
| insensitive matches and other options - custom implementations of |
| this interface won't work any longer. We recommend to use the new |
| Regexp interface that also supports substitution instead of the |
| RegexpMatcher interface in the future. |
| |
| * <gzip> will throw an exception if your src attribute points to a directory. |
| |
| * Unjar, Unzip and Unwar will throw an exception if the Src attribute |
| represents a directory. Support for nested filesets is provided |
| instead. |
| |
| * It is no longer possible to overwrite a property using tasks like |
| <condition>, <exec>, <pathconvert>, or <tstamp>. In some exceptional |
| cases it will generate a warning if you attempt to overwrite an |
| existing property. |
| |
| * Taskwriters please note: Whenever tasks had any overloaded set* methods, |
| Ant's introspection mechanism would select the last overloaded method |
| provided to it by the Java Runtime. A modification has now been made such |
| that when the Java Runtime provides a method with a String as its argument, |
| a check is made to see if there is another overloaded method that takes in |
| some other type of argument. If there is one such method, then the method |
| that takes in String as an argument is not selected by the Introspector. |
| |
| * The pattern definition **/._* has been included into the Default |
| Excludes list. |
| |
| * <propertyfile>'s <entry> element was modified to remove "never" as a value |
| as its behavior was undocumented and flakey. |
| |
| * The -projecthelp flag now only prints out targets that include the |
| 'description' attribute, unless the -verbose or -debug flag is included |
| on the Ant command line. |
| |
| * Ant's testcases now require JUnit 3.7 or above, as they now use the new |
| assertTrue method instead of assert. |
| |
| * If the 'output' attribute of <ant> is set to a simple filename or a |
| relative path, the file is created relative to ${basedir}, not ${user.dir}. |
| |
| * The default value for build.compiler is now javac1.x with x |
| depending on the JDK that is running Ant instead of classic/modern. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to |
| start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of |
| the basedir. |
| |
| * Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent |
| <ant> and <antcall> tasks. |
| |
| * <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything. |
| |
| * <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines. |
| |
| * <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes) |
| before the first task has been executed. This means that properties |
| that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other |
| tasks in the same <sequential> element. |
| |
| * <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler |
| implementations. |
| |
| * <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work. |
| |
| * the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>. |
| |
| * Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines. |
| |
| * ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors. |
| |
| * IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files. |
| |
| * <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even |
| though it doesn't support it. |
| |
| * <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set |
| the update attribute to true. |
| |
| * To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert> |
| will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty |
| string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off |
| (default is "true"). |
| |
| * The manifest task would crash XmlLogger |
| |
| * A bug existed that prevented generated log files from being deleted as |
| part of the build process itself. This has now been fixed. |
| |
| * Fixed bug where <move> ignored <filterset>s. |
| |
| * Ant works properly with the combination of Java1.4/WindowsXP. |
| |
| * Fixed bug where <java> used to sometimes invoke class constructors twice. |
| |
| * Fixed bug with 4NT shell support. |
| |
| * Fixed bug where ant would not perform ftp without remotedir being |
| specified even though this was not mandatory. |
| |
| * Fixed bug where ant would not copy system properties into new Project |
| in ant/antcall tasks when inheritall="false" is set. |
| |
| * <propertyfile> would not close the original property file. |
| |
| * <ant> will no longer override a subbuild's basedir with inheritall="true". |
| |
| * Fixed problem with the built-in <junit> formatters which assumed |
| that only one test could be running at the same time - this is not |
| necessarily true, see junit.extensions.ActiveTestSuite. |
| |
| * <jar>'s whenEmpty attribute is useless as JARs are never empty, they |
| contain at least a manifest file, therefore it will now print a |
| warning and do nothing. |
| |
| * <typedef> hasn't been all that useful as it couldn't be used outside |
| of targets (it can now) and nested "unknown" elements have always |
| been considered to be tasks (changed as well). |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> would fail for files that contained lines longer than 8kB. |
| |
| * Some junit formatters incorrectly assumed that all testcases would |
| inherit from junit.framework.TestCase. |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> dropped the first characters from Mac files. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size). |
| |
| * The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded |
| to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class |
| loader instance that has loaded the definition. |
| |
| * Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional |
| arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the |
| jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about |
| interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new |
| <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined. |
| Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a |
| directory into which the exploded jar is written. |
| |
| * ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5 |
| |
| * added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes. |
| |
| * Selector Elements now provide a way to create filesets based on |
| sophisticated selection criteria. |
| |
| * Gzip and Bzip2 files can now be constructed in the fly when using |
| the tar task without having to create the intermediate tar file on |
| disk. The Untar task can also untar GZip and BZip2 files on the fly |
| without creating the intermediate tar file. |
| |
| * New optional type, <classfileset> added. |
| |
| * <ejbjar> now allows control over which additional classes and interfaces |
| are added to the generated EJB jars. A new attribute "dependency" can be |
| defined which controls what classes are added. The addition of classes now |
| uses the Jakarta-BCEL library rather than reflection, meaning bean classes are |
| no longer loaded into Ant's JVM. The default dependency analyzer is known as |
| the ancestor analyzer. It provides the same behaviour as the 1.4.1 version of |
| <ejbjar>. If the BCEL library is not present, a warning will be issued stating |
| the ancestor analyzer is not available. In this case <ejbjar> will continue |
| to function but will not add super classes to the jar. |
| |
| * <available> has a new attribute named ignoreSystemClasses. |
| |
| * New task <cvschangelog/> generates an XML report of changes that occur |
| on CVS repository. |
| |
| * New filter readers: ClassConstants, ExpandProperties, HeadFilter, |
| LineContains, LineContainsRegExp, PrefixLines, ReplaceTokens, |
| StripJavaComments, StripLineBreaks, StripLineComments, TabsToSpaces, |
| TailFilter. |
| |
| * <copy>, <loadfile>, <loadproperties>, <move> support FilterChains |
| of FilterReaders. |
| |
| * New task <loadproperties> to load contents of file as Ant properties, |
| with nested <filterchain> elements. |
| |
| * New task <loadfile> to load a whole file into a property. |
| |
| * New task <echoproperties> to list your current properties to the screen |
| or a file. |
| |
| * New tasks <bzip2> and <bunzip2> to pack and unpack files using the |
| BZip2 alogrithm. |
| |
| * New tasks <replaceregexp>, <checksum>, <translate>, <waitfor>, |
| <manifest>, <vsscp>, <vssadd>, <vsscreate>, <splash>, <basename>, <dirname>, |
| <concat>, <sourceoffsite>, <jarlib-available>, <jarlib-display>, |
| <jarlib-manifest>, <jarlib-resolve>. |
| |
| * A new combined <mail> task, which replaces the old <mail> and |
| <mimemail> tasks, has been added. The <mimemail> task, and |
| old SendEmail and MimeMail classes have been deprecated. |
| |
| * Mail task allows specification of port number. |
| |
| * Users can control what <zip> and <jar> must do when duplicate files |
| are found. A new element <zipgroupfileset> allows for multiple zip |
| files to be merged into the archive. In addition, <jar> also has |
| another new attribute: filesetmanifest. The existing manifest |
| attribute of <jar> now also accepts the name of a jar added through |
| a fileset. |
| |
| * gzip now checks that the zipfile is older than the source file |
| before rebuilding the zipfile. |
| |
| * TarFileset takes in three new attributes - fullpath, prefix |
| and preserveLeadingSlashes. |
| |
| * <move> attempts to rename the directory, if everything inside it is |
| included, before performing file-by-file moves. This attempt will |
| be done only if filtering is off and if mappers are not used. This |
| is a performance improvement and there is no change otherwise in |
| the funtionality of this task. |
| |
| * Exec task has extra attribute "resultproperty" to get the return code |
| into a property. |
| |
| * Exec task prints a message when a timed-out process is killed. |
| |
| * Added optional attributes - name, arch and version to the <os> task. |
| |
| * Unjar, Untar, Unwar and Unzip now support patternsets to |
| select files from an archive for extraction. Filesets may be |
| used to select archived files for unarchival. |
| |
| * Javac task allows debug levels to be specified. Debug levels |
| will have an effect only when the modern compiler or the |
| classic compiler (version 1.2 and higher) is used and debugging |
| is enabled. |
| |
| * Added support for specifying CVS_RSH in the <cvs/> task |
| |
| * The attributes zipfile, jarfile, warfile and earfile (from the Zip, |
| Jar, War and Ear tasks) have been deprecated and superseded by a |
| new attribute "destfile". |
| |
| * Added new conditions <isset>, <checksum>, <http>, <socket>, <contains>, |
| <filesmatch>. |
| |
| * <taskdef> and <typedef> will now emit a warning if a task/type of |
| the given name already exists. |
| |
| * A new revision of VAJ tasks: The most important new feature |
| is the ability to execute VAJ tasks from the command line by |
| exploiting the Remote Tool Access feature of VAJ. |
| |
| * Improved support for Novell NetWare. |
| |
| * Added an optional encoding attribute to <fixcrlf>. |
| |
| * <apply> has a new attribute relative that allows users to pass the |
| filenames as relative instead of absolute paths on the command line. |
| |
| * References can now be copied into the child build by <ant> and |
| <antcall> using nested <reference> elements or the new inheritRefs |
| attribute. |
| |
| * <fail> now supports builds to fail based on conditions via if and |
| unless attributes. |
| |
| * Ant now comes with two new BuildLogger implementations - one that |
| can send emails containing a log of the build process (MailLogger), |
| and one that colorizes the output based on message levels, using |
| ANSI color code escape sequences (AnsiColorLogger). |
| |
| * A "package" mapper type has been added to allow package directory |
| names replaced with the dotted form. |
| |
| * You can now specify environment variables in the <java> and <junit> tasks |
| if the fork attribute has been set to true. |
| |
| * -propertyfile command-line option has been added to load an entire |
| property file just as -D properties are declared (as user properties). |
| -D properties take precedence over -propertyfile specified ones. |
| |
| * You can now set an ANT_ARGS environment variable to hold arguments you |
| always want passed to the 'ant' command -- for example, if you always |
| want to use a different logger or the -find flag. |
| |
| * <tstamp> now supports a new "prefix" attribute to prefix properties set. |
| |
| * You can now specify the -sourcepath for <javac> explicitly. |
| |
| * <javac> now supports a new "listfiles" attribute to list the source |
| files it's handing off to the compiler. |
| |
| * The compiler implementation for <javac> can now be chosen on a task by |
| task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <javac> can be used to override |
| the value of the build.compiler property, if set. |
| |
| * <javac> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you |
| to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using. |
| |
| * <javac>'s "source" attribute is now enabled for jikes as well. |
| |
| * <propertyfile>'s <entry> now has a 'unit' attribute to specify the |
| increment/decrement unit on date operations. |
| |
| * <property> now supports a 'prefix' attribute when loading from a file |
| or resource. |
| |
| * In Ant 1.4, a feature has been added to the <junit> task that would |
| add ant.jar, optional.jar and junit.jar implicitly to the classpath - |
| this feature can now be disabled by setting the new includeantruntime |
| attribute to false. |
| |
| * <style> behaves differently from any other directory-based task, as it |
| processes all files that it finds in included directories in |
| addition to the files matched by your patterns. There is now a new |
| attribute, 'scanincludeddirectories', to suppress this behavior. |
| |
| * <javadoc> now supports a <tag> nested element to provide the -tag option |
| to the standard Java 1.4 doclet. The element is ignored when not running |
| on Java 1.4. |
| |
| * <ftp> can now chmod files on a remote server that supports |
| "site chmod", as well as set the umask before transferring files, if |
| the server supports "site umask". |
| |
| * New <serverdeploy> "optional" task. |
| |
| * <patternset> now supports nested patternsets. |
| |
| * Perforce tasks now support a "failonerror" attribute (defaults to "true"). |
| |
| * Open Source application server JOnAS support: |
| EJB hot deploy and deploy with <serverdeploy> and <ejbjar> |
| |
| * Added new DirSet (<dirset>) datatype. |
| |
| * <path> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements. |
| |
| * <pathconvert> now supports nested <dirset> and <filelist> elements. |
| |
| * <pathconvert>'s "dirsep" and "pathsep" attributes now accept |
| multi-character values. |
| |
| * <copy> task now has a 'failonerror' attribute to allow keep-going |
| behaviour when the file to be copied is not found (defaults to "true"). |
| |
| * <uptodate> now has a 'srcfile' attribute to allow specifying a |
| full-path filename. |
| |
| * <exec>, <sql> and <java> now support append attributes to allow |
| appending the output to an existing file. |
| |
| * <java> now supports a timeout attribute analog to <exec> - it is |
| highly recommended to only use it together with fork="true". |
| |
| * <javadoc> now supports a source attribute to enable javadoc to |
| handle assertions present in JDK 1.4 source code. |
| |
| * <replace> supports a new replacefilterfile attribute that |
| automatically turns all properties of a given file into |
| replacefilters. |
| |
| * An alias of <xslt> has been added to refer to the <style> task. |
| |
| * The compiler implementation for <rmic> can now be chosen on a task by |
| task basis. The new "compiler" attribute of <rmic> can be used to override |
| the value of the build.rmic property, if set. |
| |
| * <rmic> has a new nested element, <compilerarg>, which allows you |
| to specify additional args for the specific compiler you're using. |
| |
| * org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger now is a BuildLogger, rather than just |
| a BuildListener. It can operate in either mode successfully. |
| |
| * <junit> has a new attribute "showoutput". If set to true, output |
| generated by tests will be sent to Ant's logging system as well as |
| to the formatters (instead of sending it to the formatters |
| exclusively). |
| |
| * Ant has now a pluggable way to prompt users for input, which is used |
| by the new <input> task. IDE integrators can provide an |
| implementation of the InputHandler interface to decouple Ant's input |
| from the console. An implementation that gets its input from a file |
| for unattended builds is part of Ant's distribution. |
| |
| For more details see docs/manual/inputhandler.html. |
| |
| * <patch> has a new attribute that selects the directory in which to |
| run the command. |
| |
| * <javadoc> now supports two new nested elements, <fileset> and <packageset>. |
| |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.4 to Ant 1.4.1 |
| =========================================== |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <ant>'s antfile attribute will now also be considered an absolute path on |
| Windows systems, if it starts with a \ and no drive specifier. |
| |
| * The fullpath attribute of <zipfileset> has been ignored if you used |
| the src attribute at the same time. |
| |
| * The manifest file is now always placed as the second entry (after /META-INF) |
| in generated jars. This allows the manifest to be read by JarInputStreams |
| |
| * Fixed bug in depend task which would fail with a NullPointerException if no |
| dependency cache was specified. |
| |
| * sql task now handles REM statements correctly so that lines starying with rem |
| but which are not comments are actually processed. |
| |
| * XMLLogger now uses the task's name rather than the classname |
| |
| * <mapper>s will now work as expected if the to pattern expands to an |
| absolute pathname. |
| |
| * <javac> didn't ignore memory settings in non-fork mode |
| |
| * <cab> didn't split the options attribute into several command line |
| arguments correctly. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * New source attribute for <javac> to enable assertion in JDK 1.4 |
| |
| * XmlLogger and <antstructure> now add an encoding declaration to the |
| XML files they generate. |
| |
| * <fileset> has a new attribute "casesensitive" to make it match |
| filenames in a case insensitive way (if you set it to false) - by |
| default filesets remain case sensitive. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.3 to Ant 1.4 |
| =========================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| * JUnitReport now uses the xalan redirect extension for multi-output. |
| With Xalan 1.2.2 it forces the use of bsf.jar in the classpath. |
| (Available in the xalan distribution). It is recommended to switch |
| to Xalan 2.x that do not need it. |
| |
| * Zip.setWhenempty() has changed its signature. |
| |
| * <rmic> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending |
| rmic to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom |
| versions of this task that rely on the old implementation. |
| |
| * several Zip methods have changed their signature as we now use a Zip |
| package of our own that handles Unix permissions for directories. |
| Furthermore <zip> will now use the platform's default character |
| encoding for filenames - this is consistent with the command line |
| ZIP tools, but causes problems if you try to open them from within |
| Java and your filenames contain non US-ASCII characters. Use the new |
| encoding attribute of the task and set it to UTF8 to get the old |
| behavior. |
| |
| * The <pvcs> task has been moved to a package of its own. |
| |
| * JUnitResultFormater has two additional methods that must be |
| implemented by custom formatters. |
| |
| * Ant will no longer use the canonical version of a path internally - |
| this may yield different results on filesystems that support |
| symbolic links. |
| |
| * The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed |
| again, it doesn't format the numeric value in the time attribute anymore. |
| |
| * Pattern matching rules have changes slightly, the pattern foo* |
| doesn't match files contained in a directory named foo - use foo/* |
| instead. |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> will not remove trailing whitespace at the end of lines anymore. |
| |
| * The Classloader usage has been changed for the taskdef, property, available |
| and sql tasks so that it delegates to the parent classloader. This may cause |
| ClassNotFoundExceptions to be thrown if a system class attempts to load a |
| class in the taskdef's classpath (typically factory objects). |
| |
| * Ant now allows multithreading of tasks and the containment of tasks within |
| other tasks. This can break customer listeners which do not expect messages |
| from a task before the previous task has finished. |
| |
| * Ant now installs its own ouput stream into System.out to route output to the |
| task currently executing on the current thread. This also means that all |
| output is now routed as Ant message events. Customer listeners and loggers |
| should not call System.out at any time. This has always been true but such |
| usage now will cause problems due to possible recursion. |
| |
| * Invalid manifest files will now cause build failures in the <jar> task. |
| |
| * Ant Introspection now looks for methods with method names starting with |
| addConfigured. When called these methods are passed an argument after it has |
| been configured from the build file. Custom tasks supporting nested elements |
| starting with the name configured will no longer function. |
| |
| * The environment variable JAVACMD that can be used to specify the |
| java executable to Ant's wrapper scripts must not contain additional |
| command line parameters any longer - please use the environment |
| variable ANT_OPTS for such parameters now. |
| |
| * Ant's wrapper scripts now quote the CLASSPATH environment variable, thus |
| supporting classpaths which refer to directories containing spaces. This means |
| that the CLASSPATH environment variable cannot have quotes. Any quotes should |
| be removed. This will not affect the operation of the CLASSPATH environment |
| variable in other contexts. |
| |
| * A delete task like |
| <delete includeEmptyFilesets="true"> |
| <fileset dir="somedir" /> |
| </delete> |
| will now remove "somedir" as well, unless there are still files left |
| in it (matched by the default excludes). |
| |
| * The copy task will now fail if the file to be copied is not found. |
| |
| * Ant properties defined in properties files now behave the same way as |
| properties defined in the build file. In particular the $ character needs |
| to be escaped in property values by doubling it to $$. So, to define a |
| property with the value $hello, you need to define it in a properties file |
| as |
| test.prop=$$hello |
| This was not the case in Ant 1.3 |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * New tasks: ear, p4counter, record, cvspass, vsscheckin, vsscheckout, |
| typedef, sleep, mimemail, set of tasks for Continuus/Synergy, dependset, |
| condition, maudit, mmetrics, jpcoverage, jpcovreport, jpcovmerge |
| |
| * Ant now uses JAXP 1.1 |
| |
| * rmic now supports Kaffe's and Weblogic's version of rmic. |
| |
| * new magic property build.rmic to chose the rmic implementation |
| |
| * <tar> will now add empty directories as well |
| |
| * you can now specify a description for <p4change> |
| |
| * <touch> can now work on <fileset>s |
| |
| * <uptodate> now supports a value attribute |
| |
| * <fail> supports nested text |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> won't override files that are already in the correct |
| format. |
| |
| * <sql> now supports REM comments as well as // and -- |
| |
| * <jar> now has a nested <metainf> element following the same idea as |
| <war>'s <webinf>. |
| |
| * <pvcs> can now handle multiple projects. |
| |
| * <available> now has a "type" attribute you can use in conjunction |
| with the "file" attribute to specify whether the "file" you're |
| looking for is a file or a directory. |
| |
| * New <junit> formatter named "brief" |
| |
| * <ejbjar> changes |
| * Add support for Borland Application Server to the <ejbjar> task using |
| a <borland> nested element. |
| * Add support for iPlanet Application Server to the <ejbjar> task. Also |
| includes some iPlanet utility tasks |
| * Add support for JBoss Application Server to the <ejbjar> task. |
| * Add a naming attribute to control the naming scheme that |
| ejbjar uses to name the generated EJB jars. |
| * Weblogic element now sets the compiler class for EJB 2.0 beans |
| * <dtd> elements can be specified at the <ejbjar> level for building generic |
| beans |
| * <dtd> elements can now be URLs |
| * Allow the manifest to be specified for the generated jars |
| * The weblogic element now supprts an attribte noEJBC to skip the processing |
| of the jar by ejbc. The ejbc step will then occur at deployment |
| * weblogic will tell ejbc to use Jikes compiler if build.compiler is set to |
| jikes. It can be restored to the default, javac, operation if desired. |
| |
| * Allow the <sql> Delimiter to be set in the so that Oracle stored procs may be |
| entered |
| |
| * <execon> and <apply> can now optionally skip empty filesets. |
| |
| * <javadoc> has a new useexternalfile attribute that makes it use a |
| temporary file for sourcefile and package names - helps to defeat |
| command line length limitations. |
| |
| * Data types like <path> can now be defined inside of <target>s |
| |
| * you can now specify a classpath for <style> - the XSLZ processor |
| will be loaded from this path |
| |
| * added a force attribute to <style> to support dependencies that the |
| task cannot determine itself (dependency on parameters, not file |
| modification times for example) |
| |
| * added vmlauncher attribute to exec tasks. This defaults to true. If |
| it is set to false, the VM's ability to launch commands in bypassed |
| and the OS shell, either directly or through the auxillary antRun |
| scripts is used. |
| |
| * regexp mapper now supports the java.util.regex package of JDK 1.4. |
| |
| * New filesonly attribute for <zip> and friends to suppress directory |
| entries. |
| |
| * New update attribute for <zip> and friends - update an existing |
| archive instead of creating a new one. |
| |
| * <apply> and <execon> have been merged into a single task. |
| |
| * added vssver.scc to the default excludes |
| |
| * <available> has a new filepath attribute/nested element that allows |
| you top search for a file in a given path. |
| |
| * <junit> can now optionally set a property on test failure. |
| |
| * <taskdef> can now define several tasks at once, reading the |
| name/classname pairs from a property file or resource. |
| |
| * <unzip/unjar/unwar> and <untar> now have an overwrite attribute that |
| defaults to true. If set to false, files that are newer than the |
| files in the archive will not be replaced. |
| |
| * <patternset> and <fileset> now support nested <in/excludesfile> |
| elements - using these you can have more than one in/excludes file |
| per <patternset>. |
| |
| * Three new supported compilers for javac: kjc for kopi, gcj for the |
| gcc frontend and sj for Symantec's compiler. |
| In addition extJavac or the new fork attribute can be |
| used to run the JDK's javac in a JVM separate from Ant. |
| |
| * <fixrlf> can now with CR only line-ends and can use an arbitraty |
| between 2 and 80. |
| |
| * The .NET tasks have been adapted to the beta2 release of the framework. |
| |
| * <move> will now try to rename() files before copying them byte by |
| byte - only if filtering is of, of course. |
| |
| * <ant> and <antcall> tasks now support a new attribute inheritAll. When set to |
| false, only user properties are passed through to the target Ant instance. |
| This includes properties set on the command line and properties explicitly |
| passed |
| |
| * <javadoc> now skips off line links if the package list cannot be found. |
| |
| * <wlrun> now allows the security policy file to exist outside the weblogic |
| directory. |
| |
| * <java> task will set the Thread contextClassLoader under JDKs 1.2+ to the |
| classloader for the class being executed. |
| |
| * Introduce the concept of a TaskContainer - a task or element which can contain |
| Ant Tasks. |
| |
| * Add new tasks implementing the TaskContainer interface <parallel> and |
| <sequential> which allow parallel execution of tasks to be specified. |
| |
| * <depend> task will now take into account dependencies on jar files and class |
| files from a given classpath. |
| |
| * <jar> manifest entries may now be specified in the build file either |
| completely or to be merged with a manifest file. |
| |
| * <tstamp> task custom formats now support locales. |
| |
| * Added a listner which will forward events to Log4J. The log4j configuration |
| file should be in the directory from which Ant is run or passed as a system |
| property using a JVM argument. |
| |
| * Introduced the concept of <filtersets> to allow for more control in which |
| filters get applied in a <copy> or <move> operation. |
| |
| * Added nowarn attribute to javac and deprecated the Jikes-magic property |
| build.compiler.warnings. |
| |
| * The <depend> task cache format has changed and all dependency information is |
| now stored in a single file. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * Testcases have been made independent of current working directory. |
| |
| * Input ZIP-Files will be closed when using a <zipfileset>. |
| |
| * p4 tasks now don't fail if user, port or client have been omitted |
| (and this is acceptable for the context of the command). |
| |
| * <javah>'s outputfile attribute will be resolved as relative to the |
| projects basedir. |
| |
| * <antstructure> should create a valid DTD for propertyfile.operation.entry |
| and omit tasks it fails to load. |
| |
| * won't try to pass a -bootclasspath flag to javac 1.1 anymore |
| |
| * <style>'s style attribute no handles absolute paths correctly. |
| |
| * <delete includeemptydirs="true"> now deletes more than just the leaf |
| directories. |
| |
| * You can now specify a <fileset> for a directory that doesn't exist at |
| declaration time but will created before the fileset gets used for the |
| first time. |
| |
| * If the quiet attribute has been set, <delete> will handle <fileset>s |
| with non-existing directories gracefully. |
| |
| * Output written by testcases will now be captured by the <junit> task |
| and passed to the formatters. |
| |
| * Quote the -group parameter to Javadoc as per the specification |
| |
| * Initialise classes when loaded through the AntClassLoader - that is, run |
| static initializers |
| |
| * Implement getResource() and getResources() in AntClassLoader |
| |
| * Create the <ejbjar> weblogic command line as a set of arguments rather than |
| as a single line. Avoids problems with paths which contain spaces. |
| |
| * <ejbjar> now fails when the weblogic ejbc compiler reports an error. |
| |
| * Make the AntClassLoader load resources in the same order as it currently |
| loads classes. |
| |
| * Handle classpaths with spaces |
| |
| * Make sure XSLT processors close their output files in <style>. |
| |
| * perform proper uptodate check in <rmic> when compiling for IIOP. |
| |
| * <jjtree>'s uptodate test works even if outputdirectory is not the |
| parent dir of target |
| |
| * <copy> will remove target file (if it exists) before writing to it - |
| this avoids problems with links on filesystems that support them. |
| |
| * <ftp> now properly recurses remote directories. |
| |
| * <ftp> closes remote connection when it's done. |
| |
| * <junit> tries to include all necessary classes for the task itself |
| to the classpath when running in fork mode - doesn't work for JDK 1.1 |
| |
| * <apply> and <execon> do now execute the command only once, if you |
| specify the parallel attribute - instead of once per fileset. |
| |
| * directory based tasks and fileset could miss some included files in |
| directories that have been excluded |
| |
| * <fixcrlf> failed for large files. |
| |
| * <move> removed files you tried to move to themselves. |
| |
| * <sql> task will not trty to print the result set unless the query succeeded. |
| |
| * Ant classloader will now ignore paths which are invalid relative to the |
| project base |
| |
| * <ejbjar> weblogic elements check for jar file changes has been fixed. |
| Previously some changes would not be included. |
| |
| * properties loaded from properties files are now resolved internally. This |
| removes the spurious warnings about usage of properties which have not been |
| set. |
| |
| * <jar> task and friends now process the JAR manifest to ensure it is valid. |
| |
| * The task finished event now includes any exception thrown by the task. |
| |
| * <java> task now supports a jvmVersion attribute so that if another JVM is |
| being used, Ant can determine which options to use for features such as the |
| VM memory limits |
| |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.2 to Ant 1.3 |
| =========================================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * Ant doesn't search for the buildfile anymore, unless you use the new |
| -find argument. |
| |
| * <perforce> has been replaced by a number of new tasks. |
| |
| * <javac> is now implemented using a factory. This makes extending |
| javac to use a new compiler a lot easier but may break custom |
| versions of this task that rely on the old implementation. |
| |
| * The output generated by the xml formatter for <junit> has changed a |
| little, it doesn't append " sec" in the time attribute anymore. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * A GUI Frontend: Antidote. This is currently in development. At this |
| time, this is not part of the Ant release, although the source is |
| included if you are interested. |
| |
| * New tasks: stylebook, propertyfile, depend, antlr, telnet, csc, |
| ilasm, apply, javah, several clearcase tasks, junitreport, sound |
| |
| * Added output attribute to <java>. |
| |
| * Added nested zipfileset element to <zip> |
| |
| * Changed <sql> so that printing is at the task level rather than |
| the statement level. |
| |
| * javadoc task will pass -d flag to any doclet if the destDir attribute is |
| given. If the doclet does not accept the -d flag then omit the destdir |
| attribute. |
| |
| * <cab> can work on non-Windows platforms with the help of libcabinet. |
| See http://trill.cis.fordham.edu/~barbacha/cabinet_library/. |
| |
| * <ftp> now supports passive mode. |
| |
| * New <mapper> data type that can be used to get influence on the |
| target files for some tasks like <copy> or enable new types of tasks |
| like <apply>. |
| |
| * <execon> provides more control over the command line now, the names |
| of the source files are no longer required to be at the end of the |
| command. |
| |
| * Style tasks will now support TraX compliant XSL processors if one is present |
| in your classpath. |
| |
| * Added a failonerror to the javac task. If set to false, the build will |
| continue even if there are compilation errors. |
| |
| * Added nested format elements to the tstamp task allowing additional time |
| formats to be defined for arbitrary properties. |
| |
| * Added classpath attribute and nested classpath element to <property> |
| to make the resource attribute more powerful. |
| |
| * ${} property expansion will now be performed on the patterns read |
| from files specified as includesfile or excludesfile attributes. |
| |
| * The <tar> and <untar> tasks now support GNU format for handling paths |
| which are greater than 100 characters in length. In addition the <tar> |
| task now supports nested filesets through which the file permissions |
| may be controlled. |
| |
| * wlrun, wlstop and ejbjar now support Weblogic 6.0 |
| |
| * The MPasre task has been updated to work with MParse 2.0 |
| |
| * The documentation has been significantly updated. |
| |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <signjar> no longer uses deprecated methods. |
| |
| * javadoc's failonerror attribute works again |
| |
| * javadoc's additionalparam attribute will now be split into separate |
| parameters (on spaces) to allow for more than one parameter. |
| |
| * Changed <sql> task so that printing result sets works on Oracle |
| |
| * Changes to ddcreator and ejbc helper to respect the descriptor hierarchy |
| keppgenerated in ejbc can now be turned off |
| |
| * ejbjar now correctly ignores <ejb-ref> elements in the deployment descriptor. |
| CMP files are included by parsing the weblogic deployment descriptor rather |
| than relying on the naming convention used in ant 1.2 |
| |
| * ejbjar includes super classes and super interfaces into the generated ejb |
| jar files. The <support> nested element allows support classes to be |
| included in the EJB jar. The toplink element should now correctly locate |
| the toplink descriptor. |
| |
| * <vssget> now correctly deals with spaces in arguments |
| |
| * <jar> fails early if a given manifest file doesn't exist |
| |
| * <rmic> doesn't search for the _Skel file anymore when stubversion is |
| set to 1.2. |
| |
| * <rmic> uses the the same classpath to verify a class can be rmic'd |
| as it passes to the compiler. |
| |
| * org.apache.tools.mail.MailMessage (and therefore <mail>) can now |
| handle SMTP servers sending multi line responses. |
| |
| * nested <classpath> elements of <taskdef> now work for <taskdef>s not |
| nested into <target> as well. |
| |
| * <property> and <available> will search for the resource "foo" instead |
| of "/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/foo" when given a relative resource |
| name foo. |
| |
| * Handle build files in directories whose name contained a "#" character |
| |
| * <junit> can now log to files whose name contains a comma as well. |
| |
| * The AntClassLoader now refers to the loader which loaded it, any |
| requests it does not handle itself. Previously these went to the |
| primordial loader. |
| |
| Changes from Ant 1.1 to Ant 1.2 |
| =============================== |
| |
| Changes that could break older environments: |
| -------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * Semantics of <property> has changed again in the hope to be more |
| intuitive. ${} expansion now happens at runtime and <property> tags |
| living inside of targets only take effect if they are visited at |
| runtime. |
| |
| As a side effect of this change, task's attributes get set at runtime |
| not at parser time as well, which might change the results of |
| <script>s or other custom tasks that reference other tasks by their id |
| attribute. |
| |
| * copying of support files in <javac> has been removed - as well as |
| the filtering attribute. |
| |
| * the <expand> and <keysubst> tasks have been removed. |
| |
| * the ignore and items attributes of directory based tasks have been removed. |
| |
| * the command line switches _not_ starting with - have been removed. |
| |
| * Path and EnumeratedAttribute have been moved from |
| org.apache.tools.ant to org.apache.tools.ant.types. |
| |
| * the class attributes of <available>, <java>, <rmic> and <taskdef> |
| have been removed. |
| |
| * the src attribute of <chmod> has been removed. |
| |
| * <patch> and <javadoc> have lost some of their attributes. |
| |
| * <java> and <cvs> have lost some undocumented attributes. |
| |
| * the Unix antRun script would search for command.sh in the directory |
| it changed to and invoke this instead of command if present. This |
| behavior has been dropped. |
| |
| * <ejbjar> task syntax has been changed significantly |
| |
| * <exec> is no longer implemented by org.apache.tool.ant.taskdefs.Exec. |
| Custom tasks that rely on Project.createTask("exec") to return an |
| instance of this class are going to fail. |
| |
| * nested <include> and <exclude> elements expect the value of their |
| name attribute to be a single pattern, they don't accept multiple |
| patterns anymore. Split them into multiple elements of the same type. |
| |
| * <delete dir="somedir" /> will now delete the directory itself as |
| well as all included files. If you just want to clean out the |
| directory and keep the empty one, use a nested fileset. |
| |
| Other changes: |
| -------------- |
| |
| * New tasks: antstructure, cab, execon, fail, ftp, genkey, jlink, |
| junit, sql, javacc, jjtree, starteam, war, unwar, uptodate, |
| native2ascii, copy, move, mparse. |
| |
| * copydir, copyfile, deltree and rename are now deprecated. They |
| should be replaced with the new copy, delete and move tasks. |
| |
| * <java> uses a ClassLoader of its own in no-fork mode if a classpath is |
| specified. |
| |
| * <style> will create the necessary target directories and reprocess |
| all files if the stylesheet changes. |
| |
| * New data types fileset and patternset - expected to get a broader use. |
| They, as well as PATH like structures, can now be defined on a global |
| level and later be referenced by their id attribute. |
| |
| * You can specify environment variables to <exec>. |
| |
| * <get> can check whether a remote file is actually newer than a local |
| copy before it starts a download (HTTP only). |
| |
| * Added a -logger option to allow the class which performs logging to be |
| specified on the command line. |
| |
| * Added a -emacs option to tell the logger to leave out taskname adornments |
| on log output. |
| |
| * <chmod> works on all files in parallel and supports multiple filesets. |
| |
| * <replace> can now use tokens and/or values that cross line boundaries. |
| |
| * build.compiler supports now jvc as well. |
| |
| * project specific help can now be obtained with the -projecthelp option. |
| |
| * Added a -debug option to make -verbose less verbose (and more useful) |
| |
| * Ant will now search for a file named build.xml in the parent directory |
| and above (towards the root of the filesystem) if you didn't specify |
| -buildfile and there is no build.xml in the current directory. |
| |
| * <echo> can now write to a file and accepts nested text. |
| |
| Fixed bugs: |
| ----------- |
| |
| * <chmod> didn't work when used as a directory based task. |
| |
| * Path, Available, Property didn't resolve relative filenames with |
| respect to the Project's basedir. |
| |
| * Project didn't interpret the basedir attribute correctly in all |
| cases. |
| |
| * Nested <src> in <javac> caused NullPointerException. |
| |
| * Corrupt Zip- and Jar-files ar now deleted if the task fails. |
| |
| * many more fixes we've forgotten to document here ... |
| |
| * The packagelistloc attribute of <javadoc>'s <link> child will be |
| resolved as a file (i.e. it is either absolute or relative to |
| basedir). |
