[ANN] Apache Ivy 2.0.0-rc1 released

[Xavier Hanin <xa...@apache.org>]

Sep 26, 2008 - The Apache Ivy project is pleased to announce its
2.0.0 rc 1 version, the first release candidate for 2.0.0 final release.

Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and
reporting) project dependencies, characterized by flexibility,
configurability, and tight integration with Apache Ant.

This is a release candidate for 2.0.0 final, meaning that no changes
except bug fixes will occur before 2.0.0 final.
Problems found at this phase can be fixed in the final release, so now
is a good time to download and use it. If no outstanding bugs are reported
in the coming weeks, this release candidate will be promoted as 2.0.0 final.

Key changes in this 2.0.0-rc1 version are
* enhanced Maven2 compatibility, with several bug fixes and more
pom features covered
* better and more homogeneous relative paths handling
* better support for local builds
* 80+ bug fixes as documented in Jira and in the release notes

Issues should be reported to:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY
