  203. <p>Apache Ivy, "A Java based tool for tracking, resolving and
  204. managing project dependencies.", just finished <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/">Incubation</a> and has joined
  205. the Ant project. More information will be available from the Ant
  206. site soon.</p>
  207. <p>Until we've finished the migration, you can learn more about
  208. Ivy from its <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/">Incubator
  209. website</a>.</p>

  224. <p> Ant 1.7 introduces a resource framework. Some of the core ant
  225. tasks such as &lt;copy/&gt; are now able to process not only file
  226. system resources but also zip entries, tar entries, paths, ...
  227. Resource collections group resources, and can be further
  228. combined with operators such as union and intersection. This
  229. can be extended by custom resources and custom tasks using resources.</p>
  230. <p>
  231. Ant 1.7 starts outsourcing of optional tasks to Antlibs.
  232. The .NET antlib in preparation will replace the .NET optional tasks which ship in Ant.
  233. Support for the version control system Subversion will be only provided as an antlib to
  234. be released shortly.

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

  325. <p>Nested elements for namespaced tasks and types may belong to the
  326. Ant default namespace as well as the task's or type's namespace.</p>
  327. <p>All exceptions thrown by tasks are now wrapped in a
  328. buildexception giving the location in the buildfile of the task.</p>
  329. <p>Ant 1.6.2 fixes a large number of bugs and adds a number of

  369. <p>Ant 1.6.0 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support
  370. for XML namespaces as well as a new concept of Ant libraries that
  371. makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks.
  372. For a longer list of fixed bugs and new features see the release
