+ To advance the definition of Ant, user requirements are now being accepted on the + Ant-Dev mailing list. Any requirement will be accepted for consideration. The + requirements are being collected into a document which is available + on-line. New features will be excepted + until March 21st, 2001. At that time, each requirement will be discussed + for inclusion in an Ant 2.0 requirement document. +
+ ++ For your reference some of the goals which have shaped the development of Ant 1.x are + available here. These continue to be + relevant to Ant 2.0. +
+ ++ If you want to shape the future of Ant, join the + Ant-Dev mailing list and contribute + your ideas. +
++ Ant 1.3 has been released after going through three betas. Thanks to everyone who + took the time to test the beta and report bugs and enhancements. +
