| Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1 | |||
| ================================== | |||
| Changes that could break older environments: | |||
| -------------------------------------------- | |||
| * Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped! | |||
| ======= | |||
| * Project.getBuildListeners now returns a clone of the listener | |||
| list. Changes to the returned list will not affect the listeners | |||
| currently attached to the Project. It also means that it is safe to | |||
| iterate over the returned list if listeners are added or removed | |||
| during the traversal. | |||
| * <pvcs> default filenameformat has been different from Ant 1.4.1. | |||
| Now it is different from 1.5beta1 and 1.5beta2. | |||
| * Some messages that are printed during startup will not be | |||
| written to the logfile specified via -logfile as they might destroy | |||
| the format of the file for special BuildLoggers (like XmlLogger). | |||
| Fixed bugs: | |||
| ----------- | |||
| * <available> could fail to find files or directories that happen to | |||
| start with the name of the project's basedir but are not children of | |||
| the basedir. | |||
| * Nested <property>'s inside <ant> can now be overriden by subsequent | |||
| <ant> and <antcall> tasks. | |||
| * <xslt>'s outputtype attribute wouldn't do anything. | |||
| * <linecontains> filterreader could swallow lines. | |||
| * <sequential> used to configure the tasks (set their attributes) | |||
| before the first task has been executed. This means that properties | |||
| that have been set by nested task seemed to be unset for the other | |||
| tasks in the same <sequential> element. | |||
| * <javac>'s sourcepath setting has been ignored by some compiler | |||
| implementations. | |||
| * <javadoc>'s packagelist attribute didn't work. | |||
| * the plain mailer would always use port 25 in <mail>. | |||
| * Ant's default logger could swallow empty lines. | |||
| * ejbjar's iPlanet nested element now can process multiple descriptors. | |||
| * IPlanetEjbc was looking in the wrong place for four iiop files. | |||
| * <javac> would pass the -source switch to JDK 1.3's javac, even | |||
| though it doesn't support it. | |||
| Other changes: | |||
| -------------- | |||
| * <checksum> now uses a buffer (of configurable size). | |||
| * The "Trying to override task definition" warning has been degraded | |||
| to verbose level if the two task definitions only differ in the class | |||
| loader instance that has loaded the definition. | |||
| * Add a jvmargs to the ejbjar's weblogic element to allow additional | |||
| arguments to be provided to the VM runnign ejbc. Document the | |||
| jvmdebuglevel attribute which can be used to avoid warnings about | |||
| interface classess being found on the classpath. Document the new | |||
| <sysproperty> element which allows JVM properties to be defined. | |||
| Added an outputdir attribute to allow the destination to be a | |||
| directory into which the exploded jar is written. | |||
| * ejbjar now supports Borland Enterprise Server 5 and Jonas 2.5 | |||
| Changes from Ant 1.5beta1 to Ant 1.5beta2 | |||
| ========================================= | |||
| Changes that could break older environments: | |||
| -------------------------------------------- | |||
| * Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies. This means | |||
| that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text | |||
| $$. | |||
| * org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask. | |||
| * Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4, | |||
| this may break environments that have been adapted to the String | |||
| argument version present in 1.5beta1. | |||
| Fixed bugs: | |||
| ----------- | |||
| * When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it | |||
| exists, before renaming the source file. However, <move> was not | |||
| checking if the destination file was actually a directory before | |||
| trying to delete it. | |||
| * Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin. | |||
| * Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing | |||
| Stack Overflows. | |||
| * if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to | |||
| "modern" because there is no classic compiler any more. | |||
| * the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now | |||
| it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an errorsBeginAt | |||
| attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value. | |||
| * <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you | |||
| have set ignoreerrors to true. | |||
| * <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower | |||
| case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it. | |||
| * Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented. | |||
| * paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed | |||
| on NetWare. | |||
| * runant.pl now supports NetWare. | |||
| * <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by | |||
| default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a | |||
| temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy | |||
| settings. | |||
| * <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for | |||
| JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the | |||
| user-specified classpath. | |||
| * <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS. | |||
| * forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would | |||
| use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under | |||
| some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature. Ant will no | |||
| longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the | |||
| command line now. | |||
| * the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s | |||
| nested into <antcall> didn't work. | |||
| * <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s. | |||
| * <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java | |||
| source files could be found below them. This has been backwards | |||
| incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet. | |||
| * Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of | |||
| <javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions. | |||
| * nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much. | |||
| * <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to | |||
| non-existing directories. | |||
| * <patch> didn't work at all. | |||
| * <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working | |||
| on is locked. | |||
| * <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK | |||
| 1.2 and AIX. | |||
| Other changes: | |||
| -------------- | |||
| * z/OS now gets detected by the os condition. | |||
| * <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute | |||
| that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms. | |||
| * BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task. | |||
| * <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans | |||
| based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00 Beta | |||
| this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use | |||
| ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc". | |||
| * <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming | |||
| convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the | |||
| <ejbjar> attribute | |||
| Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1 | |||
| ================================== | |||
| Changes that could break older environments: | |||
| -------------------------------------------- | |||
| * Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped! | |||
| * The filesetmanifest attribute added to <jar> after the 1.4.1 | |||
| release has been removed for now. This change may affect only | |||
| the 1.5Beta/1.6Alpha users. An attempt will be made to add this | |||
| feature back into Ant 1.6. | |||
| Fixed bugs: | |||
| ----------- | |||
| * <zip> and friends would always update existing archive if you set | |||
| the update attribute to true. | |||
| * To support backward compatibility with older versions, <pathconvert> | |||
| will once again set the property, even if the result is the empty | |||
| string, unless the new 'setonempty' attribute is set to false|no|off | |||
| (default is "true"). | |||
| * The manifest task would crash XmlLogger | |||
| Other changes: | |||
| -------------- | |||
| * added **/.svn and **/.svn/** to the default excludes | |||
