* Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!
-=======
+ Before you panic that we have broken all your build files, we have kept
+ the old "$$" -> "$" behaviour. So only build files which accidentally had
+ a $ sign in a string that was being silently stripped may break.
+ We added this fix to stop newbie confusion; if you want to write a
+ build file which works on ant versions 1.4.1 or earlier, stay with
+ the double $$ sign rule.

-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
-* <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to
- start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of
- the basedir.
-
-* Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent
- <ant> and <antcall> tasks.
-
-* <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything.
-
-* <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines.
-
-* <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes)
- before the first task has been executed. This means that properties
- that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other
- tasks in the same <sequential> element.
-
-* <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler
- implementations.
-
-* <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work.
-
-* the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>.
-
-* Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines.
-
-* ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors.
-
-* IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files.
-
-* <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even
- though it doesn't support it.
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
-* <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size).
-
-* The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded
- to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class
- loader instance that has loaded the definition.
-
-* Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional
- arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the
- jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about
- interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new
- <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined.
- Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a

-Changes from Ant 1.5beta1 to Ant 1.5beta2
-=========================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
---------------------------------------------
-
-* Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies. This means
-that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text
-$$.
-
-* org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask.
-
-* Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4,
-this may break environments that have been adapted to the String
-argument version present in 1.5beta1.
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-* When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it
- exists, before renaming the source file. However, <move> was not
- checking if the destination file was actually a directory before
- trying to delete it.
-
-* Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin.
-
-* Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing
-Stack Overflows.
-
-* if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to
-"modern" because there is no classic compiler any more.
-
-* the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now
-it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an
errorsBeginAt
-attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value.
-
-* <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you
-have set ignoreerrors to true.
-
-* <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower
-case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it.
-
-* Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented.
-
-* paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed
-on NetWare.
-
-* runant.pl now supports NetWare.
-
-* <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by
-default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a
-temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy
-settings.
-
-* <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for
-JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the
-user-specified classpath.
-
-* <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS.
-
-* forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would
-use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under
-some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature. Ant will no
-longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the
-command line now.
-
-* the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s
-nested into <antcall> didn't work.
-
-* <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s.
-
-* <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java
-source files could be found below them. This has been backwards
-incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet.
-
-* Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of
-<javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions.
-
-* nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much.
-
-* <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to
-non-existing directories.
-
-* <patch> didn't work at all.
-
-* <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working
-on is locked.
-
-* <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK
-1.2 and AIX.
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
-* z/OS now gets detected by the os condition.
-
-* <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute
-that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms.
-
-* BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task.
-
-* <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans
- based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00
Beta
- this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use
- ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc".
-
-* <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming
- convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the
- <ejbjar> attribute
-
-
-Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1
-==================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
---------------------------------------------
-
-* Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!
-
* The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1
release has been removed for now. This change may affect only
the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this
feature back into Ant 1.6.
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
-* <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set
- the update attribute to true.
-
-* To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert>
- will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty
- string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off
- (default is "true").
-
-* The manifest task would crash XmlLogger
