Bug fix for v1.8.1 in the near future?

[Matthew Madson <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hello Ant Developers:

Great product, I ran into a bug recently using Ant v1.8.1 that apparently
has been fixed in the source code (build from source seemed to clear up the
problem). Is this bug fix going to be included in 1.8.2 and if so, is there
an ETA for it's release?

More details on the bug:

Can we use the fact that these special env vars (like =C:=...) have the
equal sign as first char in the keyvalue string ?

So we could split key and value

- after the first equal sign when this equal sign is not the first char
in the keyvalue pair,
- after the second equal sign for the special environment variables

This sounds more natural than replacing the first equal sign with an
exclamation mark.

Can this work or am I missing something ?

Antoine

There is a the usual bunch of bugzilla issues that could be fixed, but
this is likely to remain a constant.  I'm not aware of any controversial
change in trunk so I don't see any risk with going for a release.

The only thing I'd like to address is the case of environment variables
on Windows where we now (after using System.getEnv()) get some
additional env variables with keys that contain "=" - this may cause
problems further down when we try to parse the variables stored away
earlier.

Hello Matthew,

there is no ETA yet for 1.8.2. I would not mind building 1.8.2 this 
month. This needs to be agreed upon by the ant community.

Regards,

Antoine
