  173. Ant 1.6.0
  174. </h3>
  175. <h3>December 18, 2003 - Ant 1.6.0 Available</h3>
  176. <p>Apache Ant 1.6.0 is now available for <a href="http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi">download</a>. As
  177. we've already said in the announcements of Ant 1.5.4, this release
  178. requires JDK 1.2 or later to run.</p>
  179. <p>Ant 1.6.0 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support
  180. for XML namespaces as well as a new concept of Ant libraries that
  181. makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks.
  182. For a longer list of fixed bugs and new features see the release
  183. notes.</p>
  184. <p>If you find anything that hasn't been covered in the manual (I bet you
  185. did) or could be explained better, feel free to help us out in the
  186. <a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?NewAntFeaturesInDetail">Wiki </a>.</p>
