Bugzilla Report 60172
-Changes from Ant 1.9.6 TO Ant 1.9.7
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * <exec> and <apply> used to ignore the dir attribute if it was the
- same as the current working directory. They now no longer do,
- which changes the behavior for vmlauncher="false" which would have
- used the project's basedir rather than the current working
- directory in that case.
- Bugzilla Report 58555
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * ZipOutputStream could cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when
- adding entries with comments. This never happens when using Ant as
- a build tool but may affect users using Ant's zip package as a
- library.
-
- * <gunzip> and <bunzip2> didn't work for non-filesystem resources.
-
- * <jar> ignored the zip64Mode attribute when creating manifest-only
- jars. This resulted in jar files that couldn't be read by Java5.
- Bugzilla Report 58428
-
- * <untar> will now detect GNU tar longname/link records even if they
- don't use the names used by GNU tar itself. star is known to
- create archives of that kind.
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-324
-
- * <script> could fail to find javax.script on JDK9 with Jigsaw.
- Bugzilla Report 58271
-
- * <import> sometimes failed to normalize file names which could lead
- to files getting imported twice which in turn could lead to targets
- getting executed twice.
- Bugzilla Report 58886
-
- * TarInputStream now properly extraxt directory entries with a
- non-zero size.
-
- * <union> would drop file resources pointing to the same file but
- using different names.
- Bugzilla Report 57965
-
- * <replace>'s result was undefined when using the replacefilterfile
- attribute and some keys inside the properties files have been
- substrings of other keys. Keys are now sorted by descending size.
- Bugzilla Report 58997
-
- * Ant fails to run when arguments contain double-quote character.
- Bugzilla Report 58898
-
- * Ant fails to run if ANT_HOME contains a double-quote character.
- Bugzilla Report 58874
-
- * Definer's way to parse URLs from classloader breaks with
- recent Java 9 builds (b108).
- Bugzilla Report 59130
-
- * <ant> and <antcall> now preserve the ext status set by an <exit>
- task.
- Bugzilla Report 59228
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * <scp> now supports (filesystem-only) resource collections in
- addition to filesets.
- Bugzilla Report 50769
-
- * The <http> condition has a new optional attribute followRedirects.
- Bugzilla Report 58840
-
- * <java> now supports Java9 modules.
- https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/15
-
- * <javac> now supports Java9 modules.
- https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/16
-
- * <sshexec> and <scp> have two new attributes serverAliveInterval and
- serverAliveCountMax that can be used to keep a intermediaries from
- closing idle connections.
- Bugzilla Report 59162
-
-Changes from Ant 1.9.5 TO Ant 1.9.6
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when ZIP extra fields are read and
- the entry contains an UnparseableExtraField.
- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-317
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
-* Hidden <javaconstant> resource is published now. It reads the
- value of a specified java constant.
-
-
-Changes from Ant 1.9.4 TO Ant 1.9.5
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * The ReplaceTokens filter can now use token-separators longer than
- one character. This means it can be used to replace mustache-style
- {{patterns}} and similar templates. This is going to break code
- that invokes the setters on ReplaceTokens via the Java API as their
- parameters have been changed from char to String. It may also
- break build files that specified multi character tokens and relied
- on Ant silently ignoring all but the first 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. I.e. if you want it to work like 1.9.4
- you have to explicitly set tryGzipEncoding to true.
- 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.
-
-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:
------------
-
- * <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.
-
- * the isExists() method of URLResource returned false positives for
- HTTP and FTP URLs.
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * initial support for Java 1.9
-
- * <sshexec> can optionally pass System.in to the remote process
- Bugzilla Report 55393
-
- * <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
-
- * <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
-
- * The <get> task now explicitly accepts and supports the gzip content encoding.
- Bugzilla Report 49453
-
- * 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
-
- * <get> has a quiet attribute that makes the task log errors only
- when enabled.
- GitHub Pull Request #1
-
-* <junit> has now a threads attribute allowing to run the tests in several threads.
- Bugzilla Report 55925
-
-* addition of a new ProcessUtil class providing the process id of the current process
-
-* changes to allow to run the JUnit testcases of Ant in parallel,
- by making them use unique temporary directories
-
-Changes from Ant 1.9.2 TO Ant 1.9.3
-===================================
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * <parallel> swallowed the status code of nested <fail> tasks.
- Bugzilla Report 55539.
-
- * a race condition could make <fixcrlf> tasks of parallel builds to
- interfere with each other.
- Bugzilla Report 54393.
-
- * <mail>'s mailport still didn't work properly when using smtps.
- Bugzilla Report 49267.
-
- * using attributes belonging to the if and unless namespaces
- made macrodef fail.
- Bugzilla Report 55885.
-
- * Ant 1.8 exec task changes have slowed exec to a crawl
- Bugzilla Report 54128.
-
- * Apt is not available under JDK 1.8
- Bugzilla Report 55922.
-
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * Documentation fix for if/unless attributes. PR 55359.
-
- * tar entries with long link names are now handled the same way as
- entries with long names.
-
- * Addition of 'skipNonTests' attribute to <junit> and <batchtest>
- tasks to allow the tasks to skip classes that don't contain tests.
-
- * <filterset> now supports a nested <propertyset> to specify filters.
- Bugzilla Report 55794.
-
- * <xslt>'s params can now be typed.
- Bugzilla Report 21525.
-
- * build of Mac OS X pkg installer
- Bugzilla Report 55899.
-
-Changes from Ant 1.9.1 TO Ant 1.9.2
-===================================
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * Parsing of zip64 extra fields has become more lenient in order to
- be able to read archives created by DotNetZip and maybe other
- archivers as well.
-
- * TarInputStream should now properly read GNU longlink entries' names.
- Bugzilla Report 55040.
-
- * <java> and <exec> used to be too restrictive when evaluating
- whether a given set of options is compatible with spawning the new
- process.
- Bugzilla Report 55112.
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * <javadoc> will now post-process the generated in order to mitigate
- the frame injection attack possible in javadocs generated by Oracle
- JDKs prior to Java7 Update 25. The vulnerability is known as
- CVE-2013-1571.
- There is an option to turn off the post-processing but it is only
- recommended you do so if all your builds use a JDK that's not
- vulnerable.
- Bugzilla Report 55132.
-
-Changes from Ant 1.9.0 TO Ant 1.9.1
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * Users who have their own ProjectHelper implementation will need to change it because the import and include tasks
- will now default the targetPrefix to ProjectHelper.USE_PROJECT_NAME_AS_TARGET_PREFIX.
- Users using the default ProjectHelper2 with ant need not worry about this change done to fix Bugzilla Report 54940.
-
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * Corrected XSLTC error in <junitreport>.
- Bugzilla Report 54641.
-
- * Provide more control over Zip64 extensions created by <zip> and
- related tasks. In particular no Zip64 extensions will be used at
- all by the <jar> task family by default - this is required for jars
- to be readably by Java5.
- Bugzilla Report 54762.
-
- * Fixed loading of external dependencies in JUnit task.
- Bugzilla Report 54835.
-
- * Target rewriting for nested "include" only works when "as" is specified.
- See also "Changes that could break older environments"
- Bugzilla Report 54940.
-
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * strict attribute added to <signjar>.
- Bugzilla Report 54889.
-
- * simplifying Execute.getEnvironmentVariables since we are only running on Java 1.5 or higher now
-
- * Added conditional attributes.
- Bugzilla Report 43362
-
- * Recommending to upgrade jsch to 0.1.50, particularly if you are using Java 1.7.
- jsch is the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.
- Versions of jsch older than 0.1.50 fail randomly under Java 1.7 with an error message "verify: false"
-
-Changes from Ant 1.8.4 TO Ant 1.9.0
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * Ant now requires at least Java 1.5 to compile and to run
-
- * FixCRLF used to treat the EOL value ASIS to convert to the system property
- line.separator. Specified was that ASIS would leave the EOL characters alone,
- the task now really leaves the EOL characters alone. This also implies that
- EOL ASIS will not insert a newline even if fixlast is set to true.
- Bugzilla report 53036
-
- * The CommandLauncher hierarchy that used to be a set of inner
- classes of Execute has been extracted to the
- org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.launcher package.
-
- * Any FileResource whose represented File has a parent also has a basedir.
-
- * Removing the Perforce Ant tasks replaced by tasks supplied by Perforce Inc.

- unmentioned relative path like the internal resolver does.
- Bugzilla Report 52754.
-
- * Fixed some potential stream leaks.
- Bugzilla Reports 52738, 52740, 52742, 52743.
-
- * Updated documentation to fix spelling errors / broken links.
- Bugzilla Reports 53215, 53291, 53202
-
- * Unable to override system properties. It was not possible not to override
- system properties from the command line (or from a property file).
- Bugzilla Report 51792
-
- * <javac> by default fails when run on JDK 8.
- Bugzilla Report 53347.
-
- * ExtensionPoint doesn't work with nested import/include
- Bugzilla Report 53405.
-
- * <packagemapper> failed to strip the non-matched parts with
- handledirsep="true".
- Bugzilla Report 53399.
-
- * <expandproperties> filter caused a NullPointerException when input
- was empty.
- Bugzilla Report 53626.
-
- * <get> now supports HTTP redirects using status code 307.
- Bugzilla Report 54374.
-
- * ssh tasks prompt for kerberos username/password under Java 7
- Bugzilla Report 53437.
-
- * Zip task on <mappedresources> that excludes certain files by way of the mapper resulted in a NullPointerException
- Bugzilla Report 54026
-
- * The ant launcher script should properly detect JAVA_HOME on
- MacOS X 10.7
- Bugzilla Report 52632
-
- * Depend task does not handle invokeDynamic constant pool entries - java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid Constant Pool entry Type 18
- Bugzilla Report 54090
-
- * Base64Converter not properly handling bytes with MSB set (not masking byte to int conversion)
- Bugzilla Report 54460
-
- * The size resource comparator would return wrong results if file
- sizes differed by more than 2 GB.
- Bugzilla Report 54623
-
- * Unable to encode properly into UTF-8 when the system property file.encoding is
- set to ANSI_X3.4-1968.
- Bugzilla Report 54606
-
- * JUnit4 tests marked @Ignore do not appear in XML output
- Bugzilla Report 43969
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * merged the ZIP package from Commons Compress, it can now read
- archives using Zip64 extensions (files and archives bigger that 4GB
- and with more that 64k entries).
-
- * a new task <commandlauncher> can be used to configure the
- CommandLauncher used by Ant when forking external programs or new
- Java VMs.
- Bugzilla Report 52706.
-
- * merged the TAR package from Commons Compress, it can now read
- archives using POSIX extension headers and STAR extensions.
-
- * merged the BZIP2 package from Commons Compress, it can now
- optionally read files that contain multiple streams properly.
-
- * <bunzip2> will now properly expand files created by pbzip2 and
- similar tools that create files with multiple bzip2 streams.
-
- * <tar> now supports a new "posix" option for longfile-mode which
- will make it create PAX extension headers for long file names. PAX
- extension headers are supported by all modern implementations of
- tar including GNU tar.
- This option should now be used in preference to "warn" or "gnu" as
- it is more portable. For backwards compatibility reasons "warn"
- will still create "gnu" extensions rather than "posix" extensions.
-
- * The ProjectHelper class now exposes a method to be used by third party
- implementations to properly resolve the binding between target extensions
- and extension points.
- Bugzilla Report 53549.
-
- * Make extension point bindable to imported prefixed targets
- Bugzilla Report 53550.
-
- * Add the possibility to register a custom command line argument processor.
- See org.apache.tools.ant.ArgumentProcessor and manual/argumentprocessor.html
-
- * add the possibility to suppress stdout in the sshexec task.
- Bugzilla Report 50270.
-
- * add an encoding attribute to the contains selector.
- This will be useful to use the contains selector if the encoding of the VM is different from the encoding
- of the files being selected.
-
- * support for GNU Classpath.
- Bugzilla report 54760.
-
-Changes from Ant 1.8.3 TO Ant 1.8.4
-===================================
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * Ported libbzip2's fallback sort algorithm to CBZip2OutputStream to
- speed up compression in certain edge cases. Merge from Commons
- Compress.
-
- Using specially crafted inputs this can be used as a denial of
- service attack.
- See http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2098
-
-Changes from Ant 1.8.2 TO Ant 1.8.3
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * The Enumeration returned by AntClassLoader#getResources used to
- return null in nextElement after hasNextElement would return false.
- It has been changed to throw a NoSuchElementException instead so
- that it now adheres to the contract of java.util.Enumeration.
- Bugzilla Report 51579.
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * Removed buggy duplicate JAR list in RPM mode.
- Bugzilla Report 52556.
-
- * Launcher fixed to pass the right class loader parent.
- Bugzilla Report 48633.
-
- * <junitreport> mishandled ${line.separator}.
- Bugzilla Report 51049.
-
- * <junitreport> did not work in embedded environments on JDK 7.
- Nor did <xslt> when using Xalan redirects.
- Bugzilla Report 51668, 52382.
-
- * Encoding of unicode escape sequences by the property file task
- Bugzilla Report 50515.
-
- * The code that implicitly sets the -source switch if only -target
- has been specified in <javac> was broken for Java 5 and 6.
- Bugzilla Report 50578.
-
- * MailLogger ignore the Maillogger.starttls.enable property.
- Bugzilla Report 50668.
-
- * Delete task example does not work
- Bugzilla Report 50816.
-
- * <splash>'s proxy handling has been delegated to <setproxy>
- internally so the two tasks are consistent. <splash>'s way of not
- setting a proxy caused problems with other Java libraries.
- Bugzilla Report 50888.
-
- * Include task breaks dependencies or extension-points for multiple
- files.
- Bugzilla Report 50866.
-
- * Read on System.in hangs for forked java task.
- Bugzilla Report 50960.
-
- * FileResource specified using basedir/name attributes was non-functional.
-
- * Resource collection implementation of mapped PropertySet returned
- unusable resources.
-
- * The hasmethod condition failed with a NullPointerException when
- ignoresystemclasses is true and Ant tried to load a "restricted
- class" - i.e. a class that the Java VM will only accept when loaded
- via the bootclassloader (a java.* class).
- It will now fail with a more useful error message.
- Bugzilla Report 51035.
-
- * Exec task may mix the stderr and stdout output while logging it
- Bugzilla Report 50507.
-
- * Missing space between "finished" and timestamp in task/target
- finish message from ProfileLogger.
- Bugzilla Report 51109.
-
- * Redirecting the output of a java, exec or apply task could print in the
- error output stream some "Pipe broken" errors.
- Bugzilla Report 48789.
-
- * ZipFile failed to clean up some resources which could lead to
- OutOfMemoryException while unzipping large archives.
- A similar problem in ZipArchiveOutputStream has been fixed as well.
- Bugzilla Report 42696.
-
- * quiet attribute added to the copy and move tasks, to be used together
- with failonerror=false, so warnings won't get logged
- Bugzilla Report 48789.
-
- * System.in was closed and not readable anymore by the DefaultInputHandler
- when Ant is used via its Java API.
- Bugzilla Report 51161
-
- * <sync> only supported a single non-fileset resource collection even
- though the manual said it could be multiple.
-
- * <sync> didn't work properly when working on resource collections.
- Bugzilla Report 51462.
-
- * <augment> cause a NullPointerException if it was used in a target
- that was invoked by multiple targets from the command line.
- Bugzilla Report 50894.
-
- * The ZipFile class could read past the start of the file if the
- given file is not a ZIP archive and it is smaller than the size of
- a ZIP "end of central directory record".
-
- * <javac> would create the empty package-info.class file in the wrong
- directory if no destdir was specified. Note it may still pick the
- wrong directory if you specify more than one source directory but
- no destDir. It is highly recommended that you always explicitly
- specify the destDir attribute.
- Bugzilla Report 51947.
-
- * packagemapper now honors the handleDirSep attribute.
- Bugzilla Report 51086.
-
- * the attributes of macrodef tasks had their values run through
- property expansion twice. Still true by default, but can be disabled.
- Bugzilla Report 42046.
-
- * jvc doesn't like it if source file names in argument files are
- quoted.
- Bugzilla Report 31667.
-
- * ZipFile didn't work properly for archives using unicode extra
- fields rather than UTF-8 filenames and the EFS-Flag.
-
- * Access to DirectoryScanner's default excludes wasn't synchronized.
- Bugzilla Report 52188.
-
- * When a Project instance was created by a custom tasks its
- createTask method didn't work.
- Bugzilla Report 50788.
-

- documented.
- Bugzilla Report 50576.
-
- * The concat task now permits the name of its exposed resource
- by means of its 'resourcename' attribute.
-
- * The expandproperties filter now accepts a nested propertyset
- which, if specified, provides the properties for expansion.
- Bugzilla Report 51044.
-
- * <junit filtertrace="true"/> will no longer filter out the very
- first line of the stacktrace containing the original exception
- message even if it matches one of the filter expressions.
-
- * Upgraded to Apache AntUnit 1.2
-
- * Provide read access to Mkdir.dir. Bugzilla Report 51684.
-
- * <delete> and <move> have a new attribute performGCOnFailedDelete
- that may - when set to true - help resolve some problems with
- deleting empty directories on NFS shares.
- Bugzilla Report 45786.
-
- * <loadfile> and <loadresource> used to log at level INFO to signal a
- property hasn't been set when the resource was empty even if the
- quiet attribute was set to true. They will now use VERBOSE
- instead.
- Bugzilla Report 52107.
-
- * <javac> has a new attribute createMissingPackageInfoClass that can
- be set to false to prevent Ant from creating empty dummy classes
- used for up-to-date-ness checks.
- Bugzilla Report 52096.

-Changes from Ant 1.8.1 TO Ant 1.8.2
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * Prior to Ant 1.8.0 the <copy> task and several other tasks would
- overwrite read-only destination files. Starting with 1.8.0 they
- would only do so under special circumstances. Ant 1.8.2 now
- consistently won't replace a read-only file by default. The same is
- true for a number of other tasks.
- The <copy>, <move> and <echo> tasks now have a new force attribute
- and <concat> has a new forceReadonly attribute that can be used to
- make the task overwrite read-only destinations.
- Bugzilla Report 49261.
-
- * Removed ant-nodeps.jar; it is now merged into ant.jar.
-
- * DOMElementWriter#encode used to employ special code before encoding
- ampersands so that &#123; remained &#123; rather than being turned
- into &amp;#123;. This is no longer the case, ampersands will now
- be encoded unconditionally.
- Also DOMElementWriter#encodeData will treat CDATA sections containing a
- literal "]]>" sequence different now - it will split the CDATA
- section between the second "]" and ">" and create two sections.
- This affects <echoxml> task as well as the XML logger or JUnit
- formatter where ampersands will now always get encoded.
- In addition DOMElementWriter will now replace the characters \t, \r
- and \n in attribute values by entity references.
- Bugzilla Report 49404.
-
- * The list elements returned by ProjectHelper#getExtensionStack are
- now String arrays of length 3 rather than 2 in order to support the
- onMissingExtensionPoint attribute.
- Bugzilla Report 49473.
-
- * When using <property file="..." prefix="..."/> properties defined
- inside the same file will only get used in expansions if the ${}
- reference uses the same prefix. This is different from Ant 1.8.1
- but is the same behavior Ant 1.8.0 and earlier exhibited.
- A new attribute prefixValues can be used to re-enable the behavior
- of Ant 1.8.1.
- Bugzilla Report 49373.
-
- * The files and directories used by Git, Mercurial and Bazaar to
- store their information are now excluded by the defaultexcludes.
- Bugzilla Report 49624.
-
- * The <junit> task no longer generates TestListener events - which
- have been introduced in ant 1.7.0 - by default. The task has a new
- attribute enableTestListenerEvents and a new "magic" property
- ant.junit.enabletestlistenerevents has been added that can be used
- to reinstate the old behavior.
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * hostinfo now prefers addresses with a hostname over addresses without
- a hostname, provided the addresses have the same scope.
- For local lookup, no IP address will be put in NAME / DOMAIN anymore.
- For remote lookup, if a host name was provided and only an IP address is
- found, the IP address will no longer overwrite the host name provided to the
- task.
- Bugzilla Report 49513
-
- * mmap-based file copy problems under JDK 1.4 on Linux.
- Bugzilla Report 49430.
-
- * The Sun JVM tries to mmap the entire file during a copy.
- For large files this is not feasible.
- We now explicitly request to copy at most 16 MiB per request.
- Bugzilla Report 49326.
-
- * DemuxInputStream.read() should return unsigned values
- Bugzilla Report 49279.
-
- * The MIME mailer ignored the port parameter when using SSL.
- Bugzilla Report 49267.
-
- * <xslt> ignored the classpath when using the default TraX processor.
- Bugzilla Report 49271.
-
- * <checksum>'s totalproperty only worked reliably if the same file
- name didn't occur inside more than one directory.
- Bugzilla Report 36748.
-
- * <ftp> could fail to download files from remote subdirectories under
- certain circumstances.
- Bugzilla Report 49296.
-
- * <junit> will now produce better diagnostics when it fails to delete
- a temporary file.
- Bugzilla Report 49419.
-
- * Ant would often scan directories even though there were known to
- only hold excluded files when evaluating filesets. This never
- resulted in wrong results but degraded performance of the scan
- itself.
- Bugzilla Report 49420.
-
- * <javac> failed for long command lines on OS/2.
- Bugzilla Report 49425.
-
- * <junitreport> did not handle encodings well for stdout/stderr.
- Bugzilla Report 49418.
-
- * <junit> could issue a warning about multiple versions of Ant on the
- CLASSPATH if two CLASSPATH entries differed in case on a
- case-insensitive file system.
- Bugzilla Report 49041.
-
- * The <restrict> resource collection was checking every resource even if
- we actually just want the first one, like in the example of use of
- resourcelist in the documentation (getting the first available resource
- from a mirror list).
-
- * A race condition could lead to build failures if multiple <mkdir>
- tasks were trying to create the same directory.
- Bugzilla Report 49572.
-
- * the toString() method of the Resources class - and thus any
- ${toString:} expansion of a reference to a <resources> element -
- didn't iterate over its nested elements if it hadn't done so prior
- to the toString invocation already.
- Bugzilla Report 49588.
-
- * <apply> in parallel mode didn't work together with a nested
- <redirector> if maxparallel was <= 0 (the default) or no source
- files matched.
- Bugzilla Report 49594.
-
- * <jar filesetmanifest="merge"> didn't work for manifests added via
- <zipfileset>s that used the prefix or fullpath attributes.
- Bugzilla Report 49605.
-
- * <tempfile createfile="true"> would cause an error unless the prefix
- attribute has been specified.
- Bugzilla Report 49755.
-
- * If forked, after finished <java> was still reading the input stream
- for a bunch of characters, then stealing them from a following <input>.
- Bugzilla Report 49119.
-
- * Ant could be leaking threads for each forked process (started by
- <exec>, <apply>, <java> or similar tasks) that didn't receive input
- from a resource or string explicitly.
- Bugzilla Report 49587.
-
- * Project#setDefault threw an exception when null was passed in as
- argument, even though the Javadoc says null is a valid value.
- Bugzilla Report 49803.
-
- * runant.py would swallow the first argument if CLASSPATH wasn't set.
- Bugzilla Report 49963.
-
- * <taskdef> failed to load resources from jar files contained in a
- directory that has a "!" in its name.
- Bugzilla Report 50007.
-
- * ant.bat exit strategy improvements and issues
- make the exit codes work in environments where 4NT or MKS are installed
- Bugzilla Report 41039.
-
- * <signjar> would fail if used via its Java API and the File passed
- into the setJar method was not "normalized" (i.e. contained ".."
- segments).
- Bugzilla Report 50081.
-
- * <delete> ignored <fileset>'s errorOnMissingDir attribute
- Bugzilla Report 50124.
-
- * <symlink> failed to close files when reading a list of symbolic
- links from a properties file.
- Bugzilla Report 50136.
-
- * <parallel> could allow tasks to start executing even if a task
- scheduled to run before them timed out.
- Bugzilla Report 49527.
-
- * If a <junit> batch with multiple tests times out Ant logs a message
- about a test named Batch-With-Multiple-Tests since 1.8.0 but the
- logic that determined the Java package of this pseudo-test has been
- wrong.
- Bugzilla Report 45227.
-
- * <propertyfile> didn't preserve the original linefeed style when
- updating a file.
- Bugzilla Report 50049.
-
- * <zip>'s whenEmpty behavior never consulted the non-fileset
- resources so the task could fail even though resources have been
- provided using non-fileset resource collections.
- Bugzilla Issue 50115.
-
-* ftp chmod could throw a NPE.
- Bugzilla report 50217.
-
-* The project help (-p option in the command line) will now print
- the dependencies of the targets in debug mode (-d on the command
- line)
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * <concat>'s force attribute has been deprecated in favor of a new
- overwrite attribute that is consistent with <copy>'s attribute
- names.
-
- * You can now specify a list of methods to run in a JUnit test case.
- Bugzilla Report 34748.
-
- * properties in files read because of the -propertyfile command line
- option will now get resolved against other properties that are
- defined before the project starts executing (those from the same or
- earlier -propertfiles or defined via the -D option).
- Bugzilla Report 18732.
-
- * <pathelement>s can now contain wildcards in order to use wildcard
- CLASSPATH entries introduced with Java6.
- The wildcards are not expanded or even evaluated by Ant and will be
- used literally. The resulting path may be unusable as a CLASSPATH
- for Java versions prior to Java6 and likely doesn't mean anything
- when used in any other way than a CLASSPATH for a forked Java VM.
- Bugzilla Report 46842.
-
- * A new attribute allows targets to deal with nonexistent extension
- points, i.e. they can extend an extension-point if it has been
- defined or silently work as plain targets if it hasn't. This is
- useful for targets that get included/imported in different
- scenarios where a given extension-point may or may not exist.
- Bugzilla Report 49473.
-
- * Ant now logs a warning message if it fails to change the file
- modification time in for example when using <touch> or preserving
- timestamps in various tasks.
- Bugzilla Report 49485.
-
- * ProjectHelpers can now be installed dynamically via the <projecthelper>
- Ant task.
-
- * <import> is now able to switch to the proper ProjectHelper to parse
- the imported resource. This means that several kinds of different build
- files can import each other.
-
- * <copy tofile=""> now also works for non-filesystem resources.
- Bugzilla Report 49756.
-
- * The <linecontainsregexp> filter now supports a casesensitive
- attribute.
-
- * The <containsregexp> selector now supports casesensitive, multiline
- and singleline attributes.
- Bugzilla Report 49764.
-
- * A new <cutdirsmapper> can be used like wget's --cut-dirs option to
- strip leading directories from file names.
-
- * <javah> now supports the GNU project's gcjh compiler.
- Bugzilla Report 50149.
-
- * <checksum> supports additional views of a file's path as elements
- for a custom pattern.
- Bugzilla Report 50114.
-
- * JUnit XMLResultAggregator logs the stack trace of caught IO exceptions
- in verbose runs.
- Bugzilla Report 48836.
-
- * StringUtils.parseHumanSizes() should turn parse failures into
- BuildExceptions.
- Bugzilla Report 48835.
-
- * New task <bindtargets> to make a list of targets bound to some
- specified extension point.
-
- * Initial support for OpenJDK7 has been added.
-
- * Ant now uses java.net.CookieStore rather than
- java.util.ServiceLocator to detect whether the environment is a
- Java 1.6 system. This means releases of gcj/gij at the time of
- this release of Ant are detected as Java 1.5 and not 1.6.
- Bugzilla Report 50256.
-
- * It is now possible to write a compiler adapter for <javac> that
- compiles sources with extensions other than .java (but that still
- compile to .class files).
- Bugzilla Report 48829.
-
- * The performance of VectorSet#add(Object) has been improved which
- should also benefit any operation that scans directories in Ant.
- Bugzilla Report 50200.
-
-Changes from Ant 1.8.0 TO Ant 1.8.1
-===================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * ant-trax.jar is no longer produced since TrAX is included in JDK 1.4+.
-
- * Ant no longer ships with Apache Xerces-J or the XML APIs but relies
- on the Java runtime to provide a parser and matching API versions.
-
- * The stylebook ant task and the ant-stylebook.jar are removed.
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * Tasks that iterate over task or type definitions, references or
- targets now iterate over copies instead of the live maps to avoid
- ConcurrentModificationExceptions if another thread changes the
- maps.
- Bugzilla Report 48310.
-
- * The filesmatch condition threw a NullPointerException when
- comparing text files and the second file contained fewer lines than
- the first one.
- Bugzilla Report 48715.
-
- * Regression: The <ear> task would allow multiple
- META-INF/application.xml files to be added.
- Bugzilla Report 6836.
-
- * VectorSet#remove(Object) would fail if the size of the vector
- equaled its capacity.
-
- * Regression : ant -diagnostics was returning with exit code 1
- Bugzilla Report 48782
-
- * Fix for exec task sometimes inserts extraneous newlines
- Bugzilla Report 48746
-
- * SymlinkTest#testSymbolicLinkUtilsMethods failing on MacOS
- Bugzilla Report 48785.
-
- * If <concat>'s first resourcecollection child is a <resources>,
- any subsequently added child resourcecollection joins the first.
- Bugzilla Report 48816.
-
- * <get> with an invalid URL could trigger an NPE in some JVMs.
- Bugzilla Report 48833
-
- * Broken Pipe issue under Ubuntu Linux
- Bugzilla Report 48789
-
- * Properties wrongly read from file or not update during read
- Bugzilla Report 48768
-
- * AntClassLoader in Ant 1.8.0 has been considerably slower than in
- 1.7.1
- Bugzilla Report 48853
-
- * ANT_CMD_LINE_ARGS are rippling through lower level Ant usage
- Bugzilla Report 48876
-
- * email : IO error sending mail with plain mimetype
- Bugzilla Report 48932
-
- * the complete-ant-cmd.pl script failed to create a proper cache of
- target if "ant -p" failed.
- Bugzilla Report 48980
-
- * <rmic>'s sourcebase attribute was broken.
- Bugzilla Report 48970
-
- * <copy>'s failonerror didn't work as expected when copying a single
- element resource collection to a file.
- Bugzilla Report 49070
-
- * <get> no longer followed redirects if the redirect URL was relative
- and not an absolute URL.
- Bugzilla Report 48972
-
- * fixed a performance degradation in the code that expands property
- references.
- Bugzilla Reports 48961 and 49079
-
- * <jar filesetmanifest="merge"> was broken on Windows.
- Bugzilla Report 49090
-
- * <symlink> delete failed if the link attribute was a relative path
- to a link inside the current directory without a leading ".".
- Bugzilla Report 49137
-
- * <telnet> and <rexec> failed to find the expected strings when
- waiting for responses and thus always failed.
- Bugzilla Report 49173
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * Project provides new get methods that return copies instead of the
- live maps of task and type definitions, references and targets.
-
- * Ant is now more lenient with ZIP extra fields and will be able to
- read archives that it failed to read in earlier versions.
- Bugzilla Report 48781.
-
- * The <zip> family of tasks has been sped up for bigger archives.
- Bugzilla Report 48755.
-
- * Add removeKeepExtension option to NetRexxC task.
- Bugzilla Report 48788.
-
- * Add prefix attribute to loadproperties task.
-
- * Add resource attribute to length task.
-
- * PropertyResource will effectively proxy another Resource if ${name}
- evaluates to a Resource object.
-
- * Added forcestring attribute to equals condition to force evaluation
- of Object args as strings; previously only API-level usage of the
- equals condition allowed Object args, but Ant 1.8.x+ property
- evaluation may yield values of any type.
-
- * BuildFileTest.assertPropertyUnset() fails with a slightly more
- meaningful error message
- Bugzilla Report 48834
-
- * <junit> will now throw an exception if a test name is empty. This
- used to manifest itself in unrelated errors like
- Bugzilla Report 43586.
-
- * A change that made <exec> more reliable on Windows (Bugzilla Report
- 5003) strongly impacts the performance for commands that execute
- quickly, like attrib. Basically no single execution of a command
- could take less than a second on Windows.
- A few timeouts have been tweaked to allow these commands to finish
- more quickly but still they will take longer than they did with Ant
- 1.7.1.
- Bugzilla Report 48734.
-
- * Added SimpleBigProjectLogger, intermediate between NoBannerLogger and
- BigProjectLogger.
-
- * <mappedresources> supports new attributes enablemultiplemappings
- and cache.
-
- * Added the augment task to manipulate existing references via Ant's basic
- introspection mechanisms.
-
-Changes from Ant 1.8.0RC1 TO Ant 1.8.0
-======================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * the appendtolines filter has been renamed to suffixlines.
-
-Fixed bugs:
------------
-
- * stack traces were not reported at all by <junit/>
- when filtertrace="on", which is the default.
-
- * ant.bat can now also process the -noclasspath switch when it is
- the first switch on a command line.
- Bugzilla Report 48186.
-
- * <fixcrlf> now tries to delete the created temporary files earlier.
- Bugzilla Report 48506.
-
- * the implementation of <zip> had been changed in a way that broke
- the jarjar links task and protentially other third-party subclasses
- as well.
- Bugzilla Report 48541.
-
- * <scp> task didn't report build file location when a remote operation failed
- Bugzilla Report 48578.
-
- * <propertyfile> would add the same comment and a date line each time
- it updated an existing property file.
- Bugzilla Report 48558.
-
- * <sound> didn't work properly in recent Java VMs.
- Bugzilla Report 48637.
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
-Changes from Ant 1.7.1 TO Ant 1.8.0RC1
-======================================
-
-Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
-
- * if and unless attributes (on <target> as well as various tasks and other
- elements) have long permitted ${property} interpolation. Now, if the result
- evaluates to "true" or "false" (or "yes", "no", "on", "off"), that boolean
- value will be used; otherwise the traditional behavior of treating the value
- as a property name (defined ~ true, undefined ~ false) is used. Existing
- scripts could be broken if they perversely defined a property named "false"
- and expected if="false" to be true, or used if="true" expecting this to be
- triggered only if a property named "true" were defined.
-
- * Ant now requires Java 1.4 or later.
-
- * Improved handling of InterruptException (lets suppose someone/thing
- is trying to kill the thread when we receive an
- InterruptException), when an InterruptException is received, we do
- not wait anymore in a while loop till the end time has been
- reached.
- Bugzilla Report 42924.
-
- * Refactor PropertyHelper and introspection APIs to make extension
- more granular and support setting task/type attribute values to
- objects decoded by custom PropertyEvaluator delegates. Also add
- <propertyhelper> task for registering delegates and/or replacing
- the registered PropertyHelper instance.
- Bugzilla Report 42736.
-
- * Added a restricted form of typedef called <componentdef>. This
- allows definition of elements that can only be within tasks or
- types. This method is now used to define conditions, selectors,
- comparators and filterreaders. This means that tasks may now have
- nested conditions just by implementing the Condition interface,
- rather than extending ConditionBase. It also means that the use of
- namespaces for some of the selectors introduced in Ant 1.7.0 is no
- longer necessary. Implementing this means that the DynamicElement
- work-around introduced in Ant 1.7.0 has been removed.
- Bugzilla Report 40511.
-
- * In the <touch> task when a <mapper> is used, the millis and
- datetime attributes now override the time of the source resource if
- provisioned.
- Bugzilla Report 43235.
-
- * Remove fall-back mechanism for references that are not resolved
- during normal runtime execution.
-
- * FileUtils.createTempFile now actually creates the file.
- The TempFile task still does not create the file by default, can be
- instructed to do so however using a new parameter.
- Bugzilla Report 33969.
-
- * A lock in Project ensured that a BuildListener's messageLogged
- method was only ever executed by a single thread at a time, while
- all other methods could be invoked by multiple threads
- simultaniously (while within <parallel>, for example). This lock
- is no longer in place, messageLogged should be made thread-safe
- now.
-
- * <sql>'s onError="stop" no longer fails the build if an error
- occurs, this is the main difference between stop and error and
- matches what the documentation implied.
- Bugzilla Report 24668.
-
- * Ant's configuration introspection mechanisms have been modified to prefer
- Resource and FileProvider attributes to plain java.io.File attributes;
- however the configuration-from-String behavior remains equivalent, rendering
- a FileResource.
-
- * CBZip2InputStream will now throw an IOException if
- passed in a null or empty InputStream to read from.
- Bugzilla Reports 32200.
-
- * <unzip> will now fail when trying to extract certain broken
- archives that would have been silently ignored in earlier version.
- Bugzilla Report 35000.
-
- * Ant's <zip> family of tasks tries to preserve the existing Unix
- permissions when updating archives or copying entries from one
- archive to another.
- Since not all archiving tools support storing Unix permissions in
- the same way that is used by Ant, sometimes the permissions read by
- Ant seem to be 0, which means nobody is allowed to do anything to
- the file or directory.
- If Ant now encounters a permission set of 0 it will assume that
- this is not the intended value and instead apply its own default
- values. Ant used to create entries with 0 permissions itself.
- The <zip> family of tasks has a new attribute preserve0permissions
- that can be set to restore the old behavior.
- Bugzilla Report 42122.
-
- * If a batch containing multiple JUnit tests running inside a forked
- Java VM caused the VM to crash (or caused a timeout), the
- formatters would receive an error message for the last test in the
- batch.
- Ant will now pass in a test with the name "Batch-With-Multiple-Tests"
- instead - this is supposed to show more clearly that the last test
- may not have started at all.
- Bugzilla Report 45227.
-
- * If the number of minutes a build takes is bigger then 1000 Ant will
- no longer print a thousands separator in the "elapsed time"
- message. It used to be the thousands separator of the current
- locale.
- Bugzilla Report 44659.
-
- * <symlink action="delete"> used to fail if the link was broken (i.e.
- pointing to a file or directory that no longer existed). It will now
- silently try to remove the link.
- Bugzilla Report 41285.
-
- * <delete file="..."> used to log a warning and not delete broken
- symbolic links. <delete dir="..."/> didn't even log a warning.
- The task will now try to delete them in both cases.
- Bugzilla Report 41285.
-
- * if the dir attribute of a <fileset> points to a symbolic link and
- followsymlinks is set to false, the fileset will no longer be
- scanned and always seem empty.
- Bugzilla Report 45741.
-
- * the .NET tasks that have been deprecated since Ant 1.7.0 have been
- removed, please use the stand-alone Antlib you can find at
- http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/dotnet/index.html
- instead.
-
- * the logic of closing streams connected to forked processes (read
- the input and output of <exec> and friends) has been changed to
- deal with cases where child processes of the forked processes live
- longer than their parents and keep Ant from exiting.
- It is unlikely but possible that the changed logic breaks stream
- handling on certain Java VMs.
- Bugzilla issue 5003.
-
- * <checksum>'s totalproperty was platform dependent because it relied
- on java.io.File#compareTo. It has now been made platform
- independent, which means that totalPropery values obtained on
- Windows (and other systems where the sort order of File is not case
- sensitive) can be different from the values obtained with earlier
- versions of Ant.
- Bugzilla Report 36748.
-
- * globmapper didn't work properly if the "to" or "from" patterns
- didn't contain a "*". In particular it implicitly added a * to the
- end of the pattern(s). This is no longer the case. If you relied
- on this behavior you will now need to explicitly specify the
- trailing "*".
- Bugzilla Report 46506.
-
- * <copy> silently ignored missing resources even with
- failOnError="true". If your build tries to copy non-existent
- resources and you relied on this behavior you must now explicitly
- set failOnError to false.
- Bugzilla Report 47362.
-
- * Ant now prefers the java.runtime.version system property over
- java.vm.version for the Created-By Manifest attribute.
- Bugzilla Report 47632.
-
- * The <image> task now supports a nested mapper. In order to
- implement this, the Java API of the task had to change so any
- custom subclass overriding the processFile method will need to
- adapt (by overriding the new two-arg processFile method).
- Bugzilla Report 23243.
-
- * A new property syntax can be used to set attributes from
- references: ${ant.ref:some-reference}
-
- In most cases this will yield the exact same result as
- ${toString:some-reference} - only when an attribute setter method
- accepts an object type other than string and the project's
- reference is an Object of matching type the new syntax will pass in
- that object.
-
- If your build file already contains properties whose name starts
- with "ant.ref:" there is a potential for collision. If your
- property has been set, normal property expansion will take
- precedence over the new syntax. If the property has not been set
- and a reference with the postfix of your property name exists
- (i.e. in a very unlikely event) then the new syntax would yield a
- different result (an expanded property) than Ant 1.7.1 did.
-
- * A ProjectHelper implementation can now provide the default build file
- name it is expecting, and can specify if they can support a specific build
- file. So Ant is now capable of supporting several ProjectHelper
- implementations, deciding on which to use depending of the input build file.
-
- * Mapper-aware selectors (depends, different, present) now accept typedef'd
- FileNameMappers.
-

-
- * <javac>'s includeJavaRuntime="false" should work for gcj now. Note

-
- * <sort> resource collection kept only one of entries deemed equal by
- the chosen Comparator.
- Bugzilla Report 46527.
-
- * the ZipFile class used by <unzip> and others could leave the
- archive open (making it undeletable on Windows as long as the java
- VM was running) for files with an unexpected internal structure.
- Bugzilla Report 46559.
-
- * The zip package now supports the extra fields invented by InfoZIP
- in order to store Unicode file names and comments.
-
- * The zip package detects the encoding bit set by more modern
- archivers when they write UTF-8 filenames and optionally sets it
- when writing zips or jars.
- Bugzilla Report 45548

- Bugzilla Report 41368.
-
- * <jar> with filesetmanifest different from skip didn't work if the

- The default behaviour still is to keep multiple Class-Path
- attributes if they have been specified and to only include the
- attributes of the last merged manifest.
- Bugzilla Report 39655.
-
- * <delete> didn't work correctly with a <modified> selector because
- it was scanning the same filesets more than once.
- Bugzilla Report 43574.
-
- * when using custom filterreaders with the <filterreader classname="">
- syntax Ant could leak memory.
- The problem didn't occur when using <typedef> or <componentdef> to
- define the filterreader which is the recommended approach.
- Bugzilla Report 45439.
-
- * Ant didn't set the proper "magic" value for tar entries containing
- long file names in GNU longfile mode.
- Bugzilla Report 47653.
-
- * The tar task failed to recognize that the archive had to be
- (re-)created in some cases where the sources are filesystem based
- resources but not filesets.
- Bugzilla Report 48035.
-
- * <sshexec>'s outputproperty was prefixed by the executed command
- when the command attribute has been used, breaking backwards

- Bugzilla Report 48040.
-
- * different task instances of the same <scriptdef>ed tasks could

- Bugzilla Report 48313.
-
-Other changes:
---------------
-
- * The get task now also follows redirects from http to https
- Bugzilla Report 47433
-
- * A HostInfo task was added performing information on hosts, including info on
- the host ant is running on.
- Bugzilla Reports 45861 and 31164.
-
- * There is now a FileProvider interface for resources that act as a source
- of filenames. This should be used by tasks that require resources
- to provide filenames, rather than require that all resources
- are instances or subclasses of FileResource.
- Bugzilla Report 43348
-
- * There is now a URLProvider interface for resources that act as a
- source of URLs. This should be used by tasks that require resources
- to provide URLs, rather than require that all resources are
- instances or subclasses of URLResource.
-
- * Fixcrlf now gives better error messages on bad directory attributes.
- Bugzilla Report 43936
-
- * a new property ant.project.default-target holds the value of the

- list of the targets that have been specified on the command line
- (the IDE, an <ant> task ...) when invoking the current project.
-
- * The <type> resource selector has had an "any" type added for better
- configurability.
-
- * Ant should detect the OS as both a Mac and a Unix system when

- keep a build going even if the task failed to connect to the
- database.
- Bugzilla Report 36712.
-
- * A new attribute strictDelimiterMatching can be used to ignore case
- or whitespace differences when <sql> searches for delimiters.
- This is useful if you execute a SQL script that has contains "GO"
- and "go" as delimiters.
- Bugzilla Report 26459.
-
- * A new showWarnings attribute of <sql> allows warnings to be logged.
- Bugzilla Report 41836.
-
- * A new treatWarningsAsErrors attribute of <sql> can be used to fail

- are not used by Ant's family of zip tasks.
- Bugzilla Report 45396.
-
- * <echo> supports an "output" Resource attribute as an alternative to "file".
-
- * <sql> "output" attribute now supports any Resource in addition to a file.
-
- * <scp> no longer requires a passphrase when using key based
- authentication.
- Bugzilla Report 33718.
-
- * a new failOnEmptyArchive attribute on <unzip> and <untar> can now
- make the task fail the build if it tries to extract an empty
- archive.
-
- * <unzip> and <untar> have a new attribute stripAbsolutePathSpec.
- When set to true, Ant will remove any leading path separator from
- the archived entry's name before extracting it (making the name a
- relative file name).
- Bugzilla Report 28911.
-
- * <unzip> will now detect that it was asked to extract a file that is
- not an archive earlier if the file is big.
- Bugzilla Report 45463.

- an URL.
- Bugzilla Report 28881
-
- * <echoxml> now supports XML namespaces.
- Bugzilla Report 36804.
-
- * A new listener for <junit> has been added that tries to invoke the
- tearDown method of a TestCase if that TestCase was run in a forked
- VM and the VM crashed or a timeout occurred. See the <junit> task's
- manual page for details.
- Bugzilla Report 37241.
-
- * The Jar task now supports the addition of a jar index file in update mode.
- Previously the absence of the index was not enough to trigger the rebuild;
- some other update was necessary.
- Bugzilla report 45098.
-
- * <ant> has a new attribute "useNativeBasedir" that makes the child
- build use the same basedir it would have used if invoked from the
- command line. No matter what other attributes/properties have been
- set.
- Bugzilla Report 45711.
-
- * <patch> has a new optional failOnError attribute.
- Bugzilla Report 44772.
-
- * Antlib descriptors will now be parsed by the configured
- ProjectHelper if the implementation overrides the new
- canParseAntlibDescriptor and parseAntlibDescriptor methods. If the
- configured helper doesn't override the methods, a new instance of
- ProjectHelper2 will be used just like in Ant 1.7.1.
- Bugzilla Report 42208.
-
- * It is now possible to explicitly set the executable used by
- <signjar>.
- Bugzilla Report 39189.
-
- * <compositemapper>'s order of results is now predictable.
- Bugzilla Report 44873
-

-
- * <get> has a new maxtime attribute that terminates downloads that
- are taking too long.
- Bugzilla Report 45181.
-
- * <ftp> now supports selectors for remote directories as well.
- Bugzilla Report 44726.
-
- * In some cases Ant fails to rename files if the source or target
- file has just recently been closed on Windows. It will now try to
- delete the offending file once again after giving the Java VM time
- to really close the file.
- Bugzilla Report 45960.
-
- * two new properties can be used to set the MIME-Type and charset
- used by MailLogger.
- Bugzilla Report 27211.
-
- * a new attribute of <mail> allows the task to succeed if it can
- reach at least one given recipient.
- Bugzilla Report 36446.
-
- * two new properties allow MailLogger to send a fixed text instead of
- the log file.

- Bugzilla Report 26257.
-
- * <cvs> and friends now support modules with spaces in their names
- via nested <module> elements.
-
- * A new attribute "ignoreEmpty" controls how <concat> deals when
- there are no resources to concatenate. If it is set to false, the
- destination file will be created regardless, which reinstates the
- behavior of Ant 1.7.0.
- Bugzilla Report 46010.
-
- * If the new remote attribute is set to true, <cvschangelog> can now
- work against a remote repository without any working copy.
- Bugzilla Report 27419.
-
- * start and end tags can now be used instead of dates in
- <cvschangelog>.
- Bugzilla Report 27419.
-
- * MailLogger and <mail> can now optionally enable support for
- STARTTLS.
- Bugzilla Report 46063.
-
- * <import> has new attributes "as" and "prefixSeparator" that can be
- used to control the prefix prepended to the imported targets'
- names.
-
- * a new task <include> provides an alternative to <import> that
- should be preferred when you don't want to override any targets.
-
- * delete has a new attribute removeNotFollowedSymlink. If set to
- true, symbolic links not followed (because followSymlinks was false
- or the number of symlinks was too big) will be removed.
- Bugzilla Report 36658.
-
- * the os and osfamily attributes of <chown>, <chgrp>, <chmod> and
- <attrib> can now be used to run the commands on operating systems
- other than their "native" environment, i.e. non-Unix or non-Windows
- operating systems respectively.
- Bugzilla Report 7624.
-
- * a new resource collection <mappedresources> generalizes the prefix
- and fullpath attributes of <zipfileset> to arbitrary mappers that
- can be applied to arbitrary resource collections.
- Bugzilla Report 4240.
-
