    Ant 1.7 starts outsourcing of optional tasks to Antlibs. 
    The .NET antlib in preparation will replace the .NET optional tasks which ship in Ant.
    Support for the version control system Subversion will be only provided as an antlib to
    be released shortly.

      Antidote Retired
    </h3>
                        <h3>April 4th, 2005 - The Apache Ant Project Retires Antidote, the
    Ant GUI</h3>
                                <p>The Antidote subproject was once started to provide a GUI for
    Ant at a time where IDE support for Ant was far from usable.
    Unfortunately it never attracted a developer community of its
    own.</p>
                                <p>At the same time IDE support for Ant has become ubiquitous by
    now and there is little reason to have a GUI just for Ant.  This
    makes it even less likely that volunteers will start to spend time
    working on it.</p>
                                <p>Antidote's development has been stalled for years now, despite
    some efforts to rejuvenate it by single developers.  Therefore the
    Ant developers have chosen to retire Antidote.</p>
                                <p>Antidote will no longer be developed by the Ant project; its
    CVS module will be shut down.</p>
                                <p>If you are interested in Antidote's sources to learn from or
    build on it, you can find snapshots at <a href="http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/">http://archive.apache.org/ant/antidote/</a>.</p>

                                <p>Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the

                                <p>All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a

                        <h3>Feb 15, 2002: Java 1.4 Support</h3>
                                <p>
      Java 1.4 has now been released by Sun. The latest Ant source supports 
      the new <tt>assert</tt> statement in the compiler task via the <tt>source</tt> 
      attribute. It also contains a compatibility fix needed for some ant tasks
      on Java 1.4 over Windows XP. If you have problems running Ant 1.4.1 on WinXP/Java 1.4,
      please use a recent build or compile your own version from the source tree.
