From: Conor MacNeill Essentials Download Get Involved Other Projects Misc Ant has been in use for quite some time and has been used in ways never conceived when it
+ was originally written. While Ant 1.x has continued to sucessfully evolve and grow, there
+ are a number of limitations and inconsistencies that are now apparent and which need to
+ be addressed.
+
+ As we continue to evolve and enhance Ant 1.x, it is now time to define what Ant 2.0 will
+ encompass. Ant 2.0 will be a major rearchitecting of Ant. It has a number of goals including:
+
+ 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

+ If you want to shape the future of Ant, join the
+ Ant-Dev mailing list and contribute

+
+ 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.
+ You can download the release from here

+ Both source and binary releases are available in zip, tarball and RPM formats.

- While development of Ant 1.x continues and is supposed to produce
- results that are backwards compatible (back to Ant 1.2), we've
- felt that some areas could need a major overhaul and backwards
- compatibility would stand in our way - this is where the next
- major version of Ant comes into the game.
-
- Currently we are collecting feature requests for Ant2. Up to March
- 21st, all requests sent to the Dev mailing list will be collected
- here. Following that a
- discussion and voting process outlined here
- will result in a detailed requirements document.
+ We are currently collecting feature requests for Ant2. Please
+ read the latest Ant news for more details.
