Hi, are we ready for a release or is there still something missing that really must be included?
I'd propose to call it *1.1* since many people refer to the version that shipped with Tomcat 3.1 as Ant 1.0.8 - so 1.0 might be misleading. How are we going about to put the release together? Tag all sources, change the version property in build.xml and the version text in docs/index.html - that's clear but what else? I noticed that a bootstraped version built with JDK 1.1 one run on 1.2 (both Blackdown's latest versions for Linux) - message is java.lang.VerifyError: (class: org/apache/tools/ant/ProjectHelper$TaskHandler, method: init signature: (Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/xml/sax/AttributeList;)V) Illegal use of nonvirtual function call while it works the other way around so the release should probably be compiled using 1.2 (or later?). How about the optional tasks? Are we going to distribute a version with all optional tasks compiled in - did the version that shipped with Tomcat include script? And finally, who's going to do it? Sam, as you know where to put the stuff and probably have the right permissions to do so? Stefan
