| <h3>May 6th, 2010 - Ant 1.8.1 Released</h3> |

| <p>Key features of the 1.8.1 release are</p> |
| <ul> |

| Ant 1.8.0 |
| </h3> |
| <h3>February 8, 2010 - Ant 1.8.0 Available</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.</li> |
| <li><import> can now import from any file- or URL-providing resource - |
| this includes <javaresource>.</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. |
| </li> |
| <li>a new top level element extension-point allows build files to be |
| extended with custom targets more easily</li> |
| <li>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>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>Key features of the 2.1.0 release are</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>enhanced Maven2 compatibility, with several bug fixes and |
| more pom features covered</li> |
| <li>new options for the Ivy Ant tasks and commandline</li> |
| <li>configuration intersections and configuration groups</li> |

| <h3>September 26, 2008 - Apache AntUnit 1.1 Released</h3> |
| <p>Apache AntUnit 1.1 Beta is now available for download as <a href="http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/bindownload.cgi">binary</a> |
| or <a href="http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/srcdownload.cgi">source</a> |
| release.</p> |
| <p>In addition to a few bugfixes and some new assertions AntUnit |
| 1.1 allows test listeners to receive the log output of the |
| project under test. Both plainlistener and xmllistener have |
| an option that makes them echo the project's output into their |
| respective logs.</p> |

| Apache Ant |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| Ant is a Java library and command-line tool. |
| Ant's mission is to drive processes described in build files as targets |
| and extension points dependent upon each other. |
| The main known usage of Ant is the build of Java applications. |
| Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks allowing to compile, assemble, |
| test and run Java applications. |
| Ant can also be used effectively to build non Java applications, for |
| instance C or C++ applications. More generally, Ant can be used to |
| pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets |
| and tasks. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Ant is written in Java. Users of Ant can develop their own |
| "antlibs" containing Ant tasks and types, and are offered |
| a large number of ready-made commercial or open-source "antlibs". |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Ant is extremely flexible and does not impose coding conventions or |
| directory layouts to the Java projects which adopt it as a build tool. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Software development projects looking for a solution combining build tool and |
| dependency management can use Ant in combination with <a href="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/">Ivy</a>. |
