Sorry, I've been there these days and I've often heard this, but it simply is not true - The only real changes that had an impact on your builds was (1) the removal of the "init" target and (2) making properties immutable. After that - and long before we released Ant 1.1 - it has been quite stable. > Anyways the philosophy is basically - why "fix" something that isn't > broken?
