[ANNOUNCE] Apache Ant 1.9.0 Released

[Antoine Levy Lambert <an...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release of Apache Ant 1.9.0.


Apache Ant is a Java based build tool.

- Version 1.9.0 is the first Ant release which requires at least Java 1.5.
- support for @Ignore annotation and requirement of JUnit 4.11
- the zip, bzip2 and tar are improved
- removal of the Perforce Ant tasks; users of these tasks can use the tasks supplied by Perforce Inc. instead, which contain more functionality and connect natively to the Perforce servers
- numerous bug fixes and improvements as documented in Bugzilla and in the release notes



Source and binary distributions are available from the Apache Ant
download site:

http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

and

http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi

Please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above
location when downloading the release.

For complete information on Ant, including instructions on how to submit
bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement, see the Apache Ant
website:

http://ant.apache.org/index.html

This isn't quite true: we now support @Ignore in JUnit4 but should be
able to support all JUnit versions. The change in JUnit JAR in the
optional directory was to allow testing of Assume failures with a
specified message so only impacts Ant's unit tests, not tests executed
by Ant. I've been using the Nightly Build version of the JUnit task to
execute tests running with JUnit 4.2 for the past week without issue.
Could we therefore update the homepage key features note to make this
clear. I'd suggest just removing the bullet point about JUnit
versions.

Thanks
Michael
