[ANNOUNCE] Apache Ant 1.10.13 released
The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Ant 1.10.13. 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 Java 5 at runtime and 1.10.x requires Java 8 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 1.10.13 unless you are required to use versions of Java prior to Java 8 during the build process. Ant 1.10.13 is mostly a bug fix release, but does contain one important change - Java versions starting Java 18, by default, no longer allow SecurityManager to be set at runtime. Ant (internally) does set SecurityManager at runtime. This caused problems for projects that wanted to build their projects using Ant against Java 18 or higher. This newly released Ant 1.10.13 version fixes that issue (internally) and thus should allow projects to use this version of Ant to build against Java 18 or higher. Binary and source distributions are available for download from the Apache Ant download site: https://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi https://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location. Changes in 1.10.13 are as follows: Changes that could break older environments: --- * has a new attribute authenticateOnRedirect that can be used to prevent Ant from sending the configured credentials when following a redirect. It is false by default, which means builds that rely on credentials being used on the redirected URI may break. Github Pull Request #173 Fixed bugs: --- * the PropertyEnumerator change introduced in 1.10.9 proved to be not fully backwards compatible when combined with certain custom PropertyHelper implementations - for example when using AntXtras. Bugzilla Report 65799 * legacy-xml reporter of the junitlauncher task now escapes ]]> when writing CDATA. Bugzilla Report 65833 * may leak connections when trying to preserve the last modified timestamps of files transferred recursively from a server. Bugzilla Report 66001 * tstamp task would in certain cases parse the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable value to an incorrect date. This has now been fixed. Github Pull Request #186 * fetch.xml didn't set up non-default repositories propery and thus failed to download JAI. Github Pull Request #191 * When building and installing Ant distribution from source, the build script would change permissions on unrelated files in the destination directory. This is now fixed and such unrelated files in the destination directory will be left untouched. Bugzilla Report 66164 * parsing tar entries with multiple NUL bytes in their name would include garbage bytes as the name included all bytes up to the last NUL rather than the first. Github Pull Request #194 * loadresource might log warnings even though quiet was set to true Bugzilla Report 65647 * javac task would add paths constructs containing wildcards to the internally created argument file where wildcards are not allowed Bugzilla Report 65621 Other changes: -- * added an implementation of the MIME Mail sender based on the repackaged Jakarta Mail package rather than javax Mail. Github Pull Request #161 * The "listener" element in the junitlauncher task now supports an "extension" attribute to control the filename extension of the generated output file from the listener. Github Pull Request #168 * now supports FTPs. Github Pull Request #170 * DirectoryScanner avoids listing directory contents when it known it will never use the information retrieved. This may improve performance in some special cases. Bugzilla Report 66048 * will now create the parent directory of the manifestFile attribute if it doesn't exist. Bugzilla Report 66231 * org.apache.tools.ant.BuildLogger now has a new method getMessageOutputLevel() which returns the currently set message output level.
