| Apache Ant 1.8.0 |
| </h3> |
| <h3>Februrary 8th, 2010 - Apache Ant 1.8.0 Released</h3> |
| <p>Key features of the 1.8.0 release are</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Lexically scoped local properties, i.e. properties that are only defined inside a target, |
| sequential block or similar environment. This is very useful inside |
| of <macrodef>s where a macro can now define a temporary property |
| that will disappear once the task has finished.</li> |
| <li><import> can now import from any file- or URL-providing resource - |
| this includes <javaresource>. |
| This means <import> can read build file snippets from JARs or fixed server URLs. |
| There are several other improvements in the area of import.</li> |
| <li>Various improvements to the directory scanning code that help with symbolic link |
| cycles (as can be found on MacOS X Java installations for example) and improve |
| scanning performance. For big directory trees the improvement is |
| <a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-dev/200809.mbox/%3Cy1u4p48li29.fsf@v30161.1blu.de%3E">dramatic</a>.</li> |
| <li>The way developers can extend Ant's property expansion algorithm has been rewritten |
| (breaking the older API) to be easier to use and be more powerful. |
| The whole local properties mechanism is implemented using that API and could be |
| implemented in a separate library without changes in Ant's core. |
| Things like the yet-to-be-released props Antlib can now provide often required |
| "scripty" fuctions without touching Ant itself. |
| At the same time the if and unless attributes have been rewritten to do the expected |
| thing if applied to a property expansion (i.e. if="${foo}" will mean "yes, do it" |
| if ${foo} expands to true, in Ant 1.7.1 it would mean "no" unless a property named |
| "true" existed). This adds "testing conditions" as a new use-case to property |
| expansion.</li> |
| <li>A new top-level element <extension-point> assists in writing re-usable |
| build files that are meant to be imported. <extension-point> has a name |
| and a dependency-list like <target> and can be used like a <target> |
| from the command line or a dependency-list but the importing build file can add |
| targets to the <extension-point>'s depends list. </li> |
| <li>Ant now requires Java 1.4 or later</li> |
| <li>new task include provides an alternative to <import> that |
| should be preferred when you don't want to override any targets</li> |
| <li>numerous bug fixes and improvements as documented in Bugzilla |
| and in WHATSNEW</li> |
| </ul> |

| <p>Apache Ant 1.7.0 is now available for <a href="http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi">download</a>.</p> |
| <p> Ant 1.7 introduces a resource framework. Some of the core ant |
| tasks such as <copy/> are now able to process not only file |
| system resources but also zip entries, tar entries, paths, ... |
| Resource collections group resources, and can be further |
| combined with operators such as union and intersection. This |
| can be extended by custom resources and custom tasks using resources.</p> |
| <p> |
| Ant 1.7 starts outsourcing of optional tasks to Antlibs. |
| The .NET antlib in preparation will replace the .NET optional tasks which ship in Ant. |
| Support for the version control system Subversion will be only provided as an antlib to |
| be released shortly. |
| </p> |
| <p>Ant 1.7 fixes also a large number of bugs.</p> |
| <p>Ant 1.7 has some initial support for Java6 features.</p> |

| Apache Antidote Retired |
| </h3> |
| <h3>April 4th, 2005 - The Apache Ant Project Retires Apache Antidote, the |
| Ant GUI</h3> |
| <p>The Antidote subproject was once started to provide a GUI for |
| Ant at a time where IDE support for Ant was far from usable. |
| Unfortunately it never attracted a developer community of its |
| own.</p> |
| <p>At the same time IDE support for Ant has become ubiquitous by |
| now and there is little reason to have a GUI just for Ant. This |
| makes it even less likely that volunteers will start to spend time |
| working on it.</p> |
| <p>Antidote's development has been stalled for years now, despite |
| some efforts to rejuvenate it by single developers. Therefore the |
| Ant developers have chosen to retire Antidote.</p> |
| <p>Antidote will no longer be developed by the Ant project; its |
| CVS module will be shut down.</p> |
| <p>If you are interested in Antidote's sources to learn from or |
| build on it, you can find snapshots at <a href="http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/">http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/</a>.</p> |

| <p>Ant 1.6.0 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support |

| makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks. |
| For a longer list of fixed bugs and new features see the release |
