[ANN] Apache Ant 1.9.5 Released
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Ant
1.9.5.
Version 1.9.5 is mostly a bug fix release but adds a few new features
like new resource collections allbutlast/allbutfirst that complement the
existing first/last collections.
Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that helps building
software.
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 this version include:
Changes that could break older environments:
- -------------------------------------------
* The ReplaceTokens filter can now use token-separators longer than
one character.
Bugzilla Report 56584
* The changes that added <get>'s support for gzip encoding
automatically uncompressed content that would not have been touched
before - like when downloading .tar.gz files. A new flag has
been added to control the behavior and its default will make <get>
work as it did in 1.9.3.
Bugzilla Report 57048
Fixed bugs:
- -----------
* TarArchiveInputStream failed to read archives with empty gid/uid
fields.
Bugzilla Report 56641
* TarArchiveInputStream could throw IOException when reading PAX
headers from a "slow" InputStream.
* XMLJunitResultFormatter could throw NullPointerException if Java
cannot determine the local hostname.
Bugzilla Report 56593
* URLResource#getLastModified tried to access the connection to the
URL without making sure it was established, potentially leading to
a NullPointerException when using FTP.
Bugzilla Report 56873
* Long-Name and -link or PAX-header entries in TAR archives
always had the current time as last modfication time, creating
archives that are different at the byte level each time an
archive was built.
* runant.py should now work as well when the path of the Java
executable contains spaces.
github pull request #1
* <junitreport> now supports nested <classpath> and <factory> elements.
Bugzilla Report 47002
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also knows about the -file option.
Bugzilla Report 57371
* the br-replace template inside the XSLT stylesheets used by
<junitreport> could cause stack overflows or out-of-memory errors
when applied to big outputs.
Bugzilla Report 57341
* removed spurious warning about unclosed ZipFiles when reading the
archive failed.
Port of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-297
* FileUtils.rename which is used by several tasks can throw a
NullPointerException if the "normal" renameTo operation fails and
an exception occurs while rename falls back to copying and
deleting the file.
Bugzilla Report 57533
* complete-ant-cmd.pl would incorrectly suggest words from the build
file description.
Bugzilla Report 51931
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also completes tasks without a description.
Bugzilla Report 57542
* LocalPropertyStack could run into ConcurrentModificationException
when tasks spawned new child threads that accessed the properties.
Bugzilla Report 55074
* TarEntry's constructor with a File and a String arg didn't
normalize the name.
* Between 1.8.4 and 1.9.0 TarInputStream started to parse file
names using the platform's default encoding rather than as ASCII.
This has been a breaking change that has never been marked as such
(in fact it went unnoticed). In order to allow <untar> and
<tarfileset> to work on platforms who's encoding doesn't match
the encoding of file names inside the archive, both now support
encoding attributes.
The attribute has also been added to <tar> for symmetry.
Bugzilla Report 57822
Other changes:
- --------------
* it is now possible to provide proxy configuration to signjar
when using the timestamped authority.
Bugzilla Report 56678
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also analyzes the ANT_ARGS environment
variable.
Bugzilla Report 57371
* ported some of the write-optimization of Commons Compress 1.10 to
the ZIP package
* adapted unit tests to Java9 and added "javac1.9" as valid option
for javac's compiler attribute.
* performance improvements for <intersect>
Bugzilla Report 57588
* MailLogger can now add CC and BCC addresses.
Bugzilla Report 57789.
* <scp>'s buffer size has been increased from 1k to 100k to match
<ftp> and <get>.
github pull requests #8 and #9
* The tar package can now deal with group and user ids bigger than
0x80000000.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-314
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-315
* <scp> has new attributes fileMode and dirMode that control the
permissions on the remote side when sending data via SSH.
Bugzilla Report 43271.
* New <allbutlast> and <allbutfirst> resource collections can be used
to select all but a given subset of a resource collection.
Bugzilla Report 57834.
