"since" in the docs
Hi,
when I've added a new attribute in the past few days, I've added
<em>since Ant 1.6</em> to the corresponding manual entry.
I'd do that for all changes in 1.6 I can track down, but I'm not sure
I'd catch everything. Before I do that, I'd like to see whether this
is something others want to see happen as well - and if the format is
OK (or whether we should use some different markup or words).

I'd change it on both branches.

Yeah, but then the "since Ant 1.6" in the trunk wouldn't
be true anymore, right?

Imminent as in the next 3 months or so ;-) - and only
if a new release is warranted...

I'd change the since to <em>since Ant 1.5.2</em> ;-)

I thought so, but I could change my mind when I get the fix for 10755
ready.

Really? I think there'll be one, but imminent?
If you look at the fixed bugs in WHATSNEW, it is a mostly list of
minor things like adding a new line too much or a wrong number of
replacements reported by <replace>.
Xerces 2.2.1 may be reason, as 2.2.0 has been pretty buggy from what
I've heard.

What happens if code is merged into the 1.5 branch from the
trunk? Or, is the idea that we will not add new attributes to
the 1.5 branch? With the work you primarily have been doing
maintaining the branch in sync, a new 1.5.x release is
pretty imminent.

I will have time after ApacheCon to get back to proposal/xdoc and
upgrade it to the latest XDoclet and get things in motion there again.
Feel free to bug me to keep me on track with it! :)

So did I. ;-)

Before we release Ant 1.6?
I'll be happy to rely on a tool to generate that list, but until then
I'd simply add those since markers to the docs manually.

1. I've added @since to the source
2. we may be able to catch diffs using proposal/xdoc
3. Ideally, I'd like us to use an xdoc foundation for all our docs, and
automate it, but we need to evolve xdoc to do that
