-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the releases of Apache Ant 1.9.11 and 1.10.3.
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 1.10.3 unless you are required to use versions of Java prior to Java8 during the build process. Ant 1.10.3 contains a superset of 1.9.11 - 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. Ant 1.10.2 introduced a number of regressions that are now fixed in 1.10.3. Ant 1.10.3 introduces initial support for JUnit5 in the form of the junitlauncher task. The new task is fully functional but currently lacks a few features like forking a new JVM for tests which will be added in upcoming releases. 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 1.10.3 include: ========================== Changes that could break older environments: - ------------------------------------------- * Previous versions of Ant's copy task would throw a BuildException if the "name" of the resource to copy was null. Starting this version, the copy task instead silently skips such resources and no longer throws an exception. ant-dev list https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@ant.apache.org/msg46634.html * Reverted the signature change of various clone method implementation in Ant's data-types introduced with 1.10.2 as they broke subclasses of said data-types which tried to override clone. Fixed bugs: - ----------- * Fixed NullPointerException in ChainedMapper Bugzilla Report 62086 * Fixed NullPointerException when a mappedresource is used in pathconvert Bugzilla Report 62076 * Fixed an issue where a string, when used as a resource collection, within tokens, would be replaced by property values Bugzilla Report 62147 * Added a workaround for a bug in the jarsigner tool to <verifyjar> which requires the -storepass command line argument when verifying signatures using -strict together with a PKCS12 keystore. Unlike when signing the jar it will not prompt for the keystore's password and read it from standard input. This means Ant will now pass the keystore's password on the command line when using <verifyjar>, which poses a security risk you should be aware of. Bugzilla Report 62194 Other changes: - -------------- * Allow Saxon to be used for junitreport XSL transformation Github Pull Request #57 * when running on Java 11+ rmic will fail early if iiop or idl are requested. Java11 removes support for CORBA and the switches have been removed from the rmic tool. * A new junitlauncher task which support JUnit 5 test framework.
