I think we should tidy things up, add the consolidated file tasks and release Ant 1.2. We've come a long way from 1.1, and I think its time to let everyone have access to all the great changes that have been done. Also, the extension mechanism is a pretty big departure from the way things work currently, and probably belongs in a 2.0 release.

Tukey Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Re: Time for Release? The two things I really wanted to be there before we make the next release are now in CVS - dynamic property evaluation and dynamic definition of tasks. Both will need some thorough testing of course. Glenn should have his commiter status cleared soon, so the consolidated file tasks should be available. I've promised to add the UpToDate task sometime this week. There are other things I'd really like to see including: (1) extension tasks - i.e. a different framework for adding tasks to Ant. (2) a refactoring of the tasks that need to compare file timestamps to see whether they actually need to run. One additional result should be an <exec> like <transform> task. Both could wait if we went for Ant 1.2 and then made Ant 2.0 including wish (1) follow rather soon. Others? Stefan
