Modified: . TODO
Added: . WHATSNEW
Log:
Removed items from the TODO list and added a WHATSNEW file.
The latter should help us to follow the changes since 1.1 - I've
already started to lose track. I ask the other commiters to update
WHATSNEW as appropriate.

TODO List:
- * write a target rule that reacts on class presence or more generally, a
way
- to apply environment conditions that must be met in order for a target
to
- be executed. This is _vital_ for highly componentized systems where
- non-core parts of the software may be skipped if the required classes
- are not present in the build classpath.
-
- * Improve error reporting on BuildException catches. Error should
- state which task and which target was active at the time the
- BuildException was popped.
-
- * Improve error reporting on XML parse. Currently if the build.xml
- file is malformed we get some sort of odd SAX exception that could
- be better put.
-
* Provide an AbstractFileCompareTask class with prebuilt "srcfile"
and "destfile" setter methods and whose execute method calls a
"updateNeeded" method.
- * Transform task -- XSLT
-
- * Output logs in XML -- this would be a global option of the project
- (log location, verboseness, etc)
-
- * Javac improvements -- support the "modern" 1.3 compiler
-
* Investigate some sort of command line "execute an instance of a
task with these parameters" entry point. Maybe a
`org.apache.ant.TaskMain task org.foo.BarTask attrib1=foo
attrib2=bar` type entry point?
-
- * Investigate some sort of "touch" functionality. Not sure how this
- could be done in a portable way -- maybe append 0 bytes to a file
- as a quick hack?
* GUI front end -- examine tasks, add task properties, etc. Also,
one button push build of a particular target.

===================================================================
Changes from Ant 1.1 to the current sources
Changes that could break older buildfiles:
------------------------------------------
* copying of support files in <javac> has been removed.
Other changes:
--------------
* New tasks (sql, junit, javacc) all pending documentation, some of
them pending review.
* <java> uses 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.
* Path and EnumeratedAttribute moved to a new package
org.apache.tools.ant.types.
* New data types fileset and patternset - expected to get a broader
use, pending documentation.
* You can specify environment variables to the exec task - pending
documentation.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* <chmod> didn't work when used as a directory based task.
* Path didn't resolve relative filenames with respect to the Project's
basedir.
* Project didn't interpret the basedir attribute correctly in all
cases.
