[ANN] Apache Ant 1.9.10 and 1.10.2 Released
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the releases of Apache Ant 1.9.10 and 1.10.2. Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that helps building software. The Apache Ant team currently maintains two lines of development. The 1.9.x releases require Java5 at runtime and 1.10.x requires Java8 at runtime. Both lines are based off of Ant 1.9.7 and the 1.9.x releases are mostly bug fix releases while additional new features are developed for 1.10.x. We recommend using 1.10.2 unless you are required to use versions of Java prior to Java8 during the build process. Ant 1.10.2 contains a superset of 1.9.10 - with the exception of a few tasks and features that no longer work with Java8 anyway (like the apt task). Both releases are mostly bug fix releases with a few new features being added. A new javaversion condition can be used to detect the version of the JVM running Ant. The log4j listener has been deprecated as log4j 1.x is no longer actively developed and we've made sure the listener works when using the log4j2 logging bridge. In 1.10.2 the imaging tasks have been deprecated as JAI doesn't seem to work with Java9 anymore. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Ant download site: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Changes in 1.10.2 include: == Changes that could break older environments: - --- * updated the dependency of BCEL to 6.2. Bugzilla Report 61196 * delete task previously would silently accept wildcard (*) value for the "file" attribute. That's no longer the case and an exception could get thrown by the underlying filesystem for such use. Usage like: should instead be changed to use resource collections like: * Commons Net 3.6 is binary-code, but not source compatible; see change list of Commons Net 3.0 for details * The Log4jListener is marked as deprecated as the required log4j library (in version 1.x) is not maintained any more. * Image task is marked as deprecated as the required JAI library is not maintained any more and internal APIs that JAI depended on are no longer available in Java 9. Fixed bugs: - --- * 's child now skips s that lack a key or value. Bugzilla Report 60767 * bootstrapping Ant on Windows failed Bugzilla Report 61027 * Fixed the issue where the SCP based tasks would try to change the permissions on the parent directory of a transferred file, instead of changing it on the transferred file itself. Bugzilla Reports 59648 and 43271 * Fixed the issue where the source file being copied could end up being corrupted if the target of the copy happened to be the same source file (symlinked back to itself). Bugzilla Report 60644 * Fixed the issue where symlink creation with "overwrite=false", on existing symlink whose target was a directory, would end up creating a new symlink under the target directory. Bugzilla Report 58683 * Improvement to the Zip task for reduced memory usage in certain cases. Thanks to Glen Lewis for reporting the issue and suggesting the fix. Bugzilla Report 19516 * Fixed an issue where the content redirected from output/error streams of a process, could end up being truncated. Bugzilla Report 58833, 58451 * // will now throw an exception with a more useful error message when setFile is called twice on the same instance. Bugzilla Report 62071 Other changes: - -- * Added forceCsvQuoteChar option to task. When enabled the values always get quoted. Github Pull Request #32 * Added attributes to various script related tasks and a compiled attribute to scriptdef. Github Pull Request #30 * Added support for jarsigner's -tsadigestalg to . Bugzilla Report 60665 * added "regexp" attribute to Bugzilla Report 60968 * reduced GC pressure by replacing all usage of FileInputStream and FileOutputStream. * Task can now also use attribute setters that expect a java.nio.file.Path argument. Bugzilla Report 61042 * added a new magic property ant.tstamp.now that can be used to override the current time/date used by . Bugzilla Report 61079 * added Orion support to ejbjar Github Pull Request #33 * SCP task, when configured to use SFTP protocol, now preserves last modified timestamp on files that it uploads, if the preserveLastModified attribute is set to true for that task Bugzilla Report 58589 * zip and the related tasks can now set the modification time of all entries to a fixed timestamp. Github Pull Request #36 * Jsch library dependency has now been upgraded to 0.1.54. Jsch is the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant

[ANN] Apache Sling 10 Released
The Apache Sling team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Sling version 10. The release is available for download at https://sling.apache.org/downloads.cgi About Apache Sling -- Apache Sling™ is a framework for RESTful web-applications based on an extensible content tree. In a nutshell, Sling maps HTTP request URLs to content resources based on the request's path, extension and selectors. Using convention over configuration, requests are processed by scripts and servlets, dynamically selected based on the current resource. This fosters meaningful URLs and resource driven request processing, while the modular nature of Sling allows for specialized server instances that include only what is needed. Sling serves as basis for a variety of applications ranging from blogging engines all the way to enterprise content management systems. Release notes - The major points of interest for this release are: * Java 9 and 10 support * Migrated from tika-bundle to tika-parsers * Direct access to a DataStore binary when the repository allows it * Exception stack traces now contain the originating bundle * Update to Oak 1.6.8 * Service user web console page added * Service user privilege declaration based on principal names * Enhancements to the repoinit language * Support for mounting JSON files in the bundle resource provider The full release notes are available online at https://sling.apache.org/news/sling-launchpad-9-released.html Enjoy! On behalf of the the Apache Sling PMC, Robert Munteanu

Apache ACE is now retired.
Announcing that the Apache ACE committers have voted to retire the
project due to inactivity. ${project} was {boilerplate}.
Retiring a project is not as simple as turning everything off, as
existing users need to both know that the project is retiring and
retain access to the necessary information for their own development
efforts.
You can read more about ACE's retirement at:
http://attic.apache.org/projects/ACE.html
The user mailing list remains open, while the rest of the project's
resources will continue to be available in a read-only state -
website, wikis, svn, downloads and bug tracker with no change in url.
Providing process and solutions to make it clear when an Apache
project has reached its end of life is the role of the Apache Attic,
and you can read more about that at:
http://attic.apache.org/
Thanks,
Jan Ion behalf of the Apache Attic and the now retired Apache ACE project
