Here is the announcement I plan to post when Ivy 2 beta2 will be available publicly. Anything to change?
-----------8<------------- Mar 4 2008 - The Apache Ivy project is please to announce its 2.0.0 beta 2 release, a new step on the road toward 2.0 final. Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and reporting) project dependencies, characterized by flexibility, configurability, and tight integration with Apache Ant. The status of this version is a beta, meaning that we encourage users to try it out. This version is already providing a good stability and robustness. API and features are still subject to change though. Key features of the 2.0.0-beta2 release are * enhanced Maven2 compatibility, with a fully rewritten pom parser * improved cache management, including dynamic revision caching with fine grain TTL * namespace aware validation, allowing to use validation with extra attributes * easier settings loading, which do not require an id anymore * numerous bug fixes as documented in Jira and in the release notes Issues should be reported to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY Download the 2.0.0-beta2 release files at: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/download.cgi More information can be found on the Ivy website: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ Regards, Xavier Hanin (2.0.0-beta2 release mgr) -----------8<------------- Xavier -- Xavier Hanin - Independent Java Consultant http://xhab.blogspot.com/ http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ http://www.xoocode.org/
