According to the agreed release plan, I would like to freeze CVS from functionality changes for the next two weeks.
I have built a Beta-1 release and it is available for download http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/release/v1.3-b1/ Please test it out and submit bug reports at http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla. Please use "version 1.3 Beta 1" in your bug reports. Over the next two weeks, changes will be limited to bug fixes and documentation updates. There is a reasonable amount of outstanding documentation required and I will be focussing on that. Patches in that area are most welcome. Please note that a number of good patches, some submitted recently, and some which have been discussed for a while now, have not been applied in this release. This is mainly a question of available time and complexity. This is not a reflection on the merit of these patches. What I would like to do is apply many of these patches once 1.3 is released (and I have had a rest :-), so we can have a reasonable bash at them before the next release. Thanks Conor
