- <p>Apache Ant 1.7.0RC1 is now available for <a href="http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi">download</a>.</p>
- <p>This the first release candidate of the new major release 1.7 .</p>
- <p> Ant 1.7 introduces a resource framework. Some of the core ant
- tasks such as <copy/> are now able to process not only file
- system resources but also zip entries, tar entries, paths, ...
- Resource collections group resources, and can be further
- combined with operators such as union and intersection. This
- can be extended by custom resources and custom tasks using resources.</p>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <p>Ant 1.7 fixes also a large number of bugs.</p>
- <p>Ant 1.7 has no support for Java6 features, but first tests on Java6
- did not fail.</p>

- 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>Apache Ant 1.6.2 available for <a href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/">download</a>.</p>
- <p>Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the
- Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.</p>
- <p>All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a
- buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task.</p>
- <p>Ant 1.6.2 fixes a large number of bugs and adds a number of
- features which were asked for by users on Bugzilla.</p>

- <p>Apache Ant 1.6.0 is still available for
- <a href="http://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/">download</a>.
- </p>
- <p>As
- we've already said in the announcements of Ant 1.5.4, this release
- requires JDK 1.2 or later to run.</p>
- <p>Ant 1.6.0 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support
- for XML namespaces as well as a new concept of Ant libraries that
- makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks.
- For a longer list of fixed bugs and new features see the release
- notes.</p>
- <p>If you find anything that hasn't been covered in the manual (I bet you
- did) or could be explained better, feel free to help us out in the
