-Changes from Ant 1.9.2 TO Ant 1.9.3
+Changes from Ant 1.9.3 TO Ant 1.9.4
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
+ * the prefixValues attribute of <property> didn't work as expected
+ when set to false (the default).
+ It is quite likely existing build files relied on the wrong
+ behavior and expect Ant to resolve the value side against the
+ properties defined in the property file itself - these build files
+ must now explicitly set the prefixValues attribute to true.
+ Bugzilla Report 54769
+
+ * when matching an entry of a zip/tarfileset against a pattern a
+ leading slash will be stripped from the entry name. Most archives
+ don't contain paths with leading slashes anyway.
+ This may cause include/exclude patterns that start with a / to stop
+ matching anything. Such patterns only used to work by accident and
+ only on platforms with multiple file system roots.
+ Bugzilla Report 53949
+
+ * DirectoryScanner and thus fileset/dirset will now silently drop all
+ filesystem objects that are neither files nor directories according
+ to java.io.File. This prevents Ant from reading named pipes which
+ might lead to blocking or other undefined behavior.
+ Bugzilla Report 56149
+
+ * BuildFileTest and BaseSelectorTest have both been deprecated in
+ favour of BuildFileRule and BaseSelectorRule respectively, and the
+ tests that previously extended these base tests have been converted to
+ JUnit 4 tests using the new "rule"s. Any external test that sub-classed
+ a test in the Ant workspace, rather than BuildFileTest, will need
+ changed to either use JUnit4's annotations, or be modified to
+ extend BuildFileTest directly. This will not affect any tests that are
+ being executed by Ant's junit or batchtest tasks that are not specifically
+ testing Ant's code.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
- * <parallel> swallowed the status code of nested <fail> tasks.
- Bugzilla Report 55539.
+ * <import>/<include> failed when the importing file was loaded from an
+ URI or a jar and it imported a file from the local file system via
+ an absolute path.
+ Bugzilla Report 50953
+
+ * <import> could import the same resource twice when imported via
+ different resource types.
+ Bugzilla Report 55097
+
+ * several calls to File#mkdirs could fall victim to a race condition
+ where another thread already created the same directory.
+ Bugzilla Report 55290
+
+ * <manifestclasspath> created '/' rather than './' for the parent
+ directory of the given jarfile.
+ Bugzilla Report 55049
+
+ * <concat>'s fixlastline="true" didn't work when using certain filter
+ readers.
+ Bugzilla Report 54672
+
+ * several places where resources are read from jars will now
+ explicitly disable caching to avoid problems with reloading jars.
+ Bugzilla Report 54473
+
+ * AntClassloader will now ignore files that are part of the classpath
+ but not zip files when scanning for resources. It used to throw an
+ exception.
+ Bugzilla Report 53964
+
+ * <javadoc> caused a NullPointerException when no destdir was set.
+ Bugzilla Report 55949
+
+ * <jar filesetmanifest="mergewithoutmain"> would still include the
+ Main section of the fileset manifests if there was no nested
+ manifest or manifest attribute.
+ Bugzilla Report 54171
+
+ * reading of compiler args has become more defensive
+ Bugzilla Report 53754
+
+ * <copy> without force="true" would not only fail to overwrite a
+ read-only file as expected but also remove the existing file.
+ Bugzilla Report 53095
+
+ * <delete removeNotFollowedSymlinks="true"> would remove symbolic
+ links to not-included files. It will still delete symlinks to
+ directories that would have been followed even if they are not
+ explicitly included. exclude-Patterns can still be used to
+ preserve symbolic links.
+ Bugzilla Report 53959
+
+ * Sometimes copy-operations using NIO FileChannels fail. Ant will
+ now try to use a Stream based copy operation as fallback when the
+ Channel based copy fails.
+ Bugzilla Reports 53102 and 54397
+
+ * Javadoc.postProcessGeneratedJavadocs() fails for Classes that
+ extend Javadoc
+ Bugzilla Report 56047
+
+ * TarInputStream will now read archives created by tar
+ implementations that encode big numbers by not adding a trailing
+ NUL.
- * a race condition could make <fixcrlf> tasks of parallel builds to
- interfere with each other.
- Bugzilla Report 54393.
+ * the isExists() method of URLResource returned false positives for
+ HTTP and FTP URLs.
- * <mail>'s mailport still didn't work properly when using smtps.
- Bugzilla Report 49267.
+Other changes:
+--------------
- * using attributes belonging to the if and unless namespaces
- made macrodef fail.
- Bugzilla Report 55885.
+ * initial support for Java 1.9
- * Ant 1.8 exec task changes have slowed exec to a crawl
- Bugzilla Report 54128.
+ * <sshexec> can optionally pass System.in to the remote process
+ Bugzilla Report 55393
- * Apt is not available under JDK 1.8
- Bugzilla Report 55922.
+ * <sshexec> now supports capturing error output of the executed
+ process and setting a property from the return code.
+ Bugzilla Report 48478
+ * <javadoc> now has an option to fail if javadoc issues warnings.
+ Bugzilla Report 55015
-Other changes:
---------------
+ * <sql> has a new outputencoding attribute.
+ Bugzilla Report 39541
+
+ * changes to JUnitTestRunner and PlainJUnitResultFormatter to make
+ OutOfMemoryErrors less likely.
+ Bugzilla Report 45536
+
+ * changes to DOMElementWriter to make OutOfMemoryErrors less likely.
+ Bugzilla Report 54147
+
+ * <redirector> has a new attribute binaryOutput that prevents Ant
+ from splitting the output into lines. This prevents binary output
+ from being corrupted but may lead to error and normal output being
+ mixed up.
+ Bugzilla Report 55667
+ Bugzilla Report 56156
+
+ * the nested <message> elements of <mail> now have an optional
+ inputEncoding attribute that can be used to specify the encoding of
+ files read that don't use the platform's default encoding.
+ Bugzilla Report 56258
- * Documentation fix for if/unless attributes. PR 55359.
+ * The <get> task now explicitly accepts and supports the gzip content encoding.
+ Bugzilla Report 49453
- * tar entries with long link names are now handled the same way as
- entries with long names.
+ * A new resourcecollection type <multirootfileset> acts like a union
+ of <fileset>s and <dirset>s that share the same configuration but
+ have different base directories.
+ Bugzilla Report 48621
- * Addition of 'skipNonTests' attribute to <junit> and <batchtest>
- tasks to allow the tasks to skip classes that don't contain tests.
+ * <get> has a quiet attribute that makes the task log errors only
+ when enabled.
+ GitHub Pull Request #1
- * <filterset> now supports a nested <propertyset> to specify filters.
- Bugzilla Report 55794.
+* <junit> has now a threads attribute allowing to run the tests in several threads.
+ Bugzilla Report 55925
- * <xslt>'s params can now be typed.
- Bugzilla Report 21525.
+* addition of a new ProcessUtil class providing the process id of the current process
- * build of Mac OS X pkg installer
- Bugzilla Report 55899.
+* changes to allow to run the JUnit testcases of Ant in parallel,
+ by making them use unique temporary directories
