Ant 1.5.3 Release Plan?

[Conor MacNeill <co...@cortexebusiness.com.au>]

I'd like to get Ant 1.5.3 Beta 1 out pretty soon and gve it a couple of weeks 
to get tested. Something like a Beta by 24th and two week's beta period.

Are there are any remaining showstopper bugs in Ant 1.5.2?

Thoughts?

If any committers would be keen to be the release manager, please speak up :-)

+0 for the schedule (only because I will not be able to
actively help to make the release).

I will pass the buck this time around.

Yes, but the resulting manifests were likely invalid and could possibly cause 
something using UTF-8 to read the manifest to choke.

Yes, probably a good idea. I'll try to look at it in the next few days.

Fine with me.

Maybe <http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17634>.  I'm
not sure, but this looks like a regression (Ant 1.5.1 would happily
accept manifests in any encoding).

I'm not sure whether it is possible, but maybe it would be better to
give manifest an encoding attribute and make it default to the
platform's default encoding (compatible with 1.5.1 and earlier).  It
should always write UTF-8, though.

Not keen, but willing (and willing to pass the ball to somebody else,
for sure 8-).
