- <h3>December 18, 2003 - Ant 1.6.0 Available</h3>
- <p>Apache Ant 1.6.0 is still available for

- </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

- 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
