Subject: [PATCH] Removed items from the TODO list and added a WHATSNEW file.

The latter should help us to follow the changes since 1.1 - I've
already started to lose track. I ask the other commiters to update
WHATSNEW as appropriate.

 TODO List:
 
-  * write a target rule that reacts on class presence or more generally, a way
-    to apply environment conditions that must be met in order for a target to 
-    be executed. This is _vital_ for highly componentized systems where
-    non-core parts of the software may be skipped if the required classes
-    are not present in the build classpath.
-
-  * Improve error reporting on BuildException catches. Error should
-    state which task and which target was active at the time the
-    BuildException was popped.
-
-  * Improve error reporting on XML parse. Currently if the build.xml
-    file is malformed we get some sort of odd SAX exception that could
-    be better put.
-
   * Provide an AbstractFileCompareTask class with prebuilt "srcfile"
     and "destfile" setter methods and whose execute method calls a
     "updateNeeded" method.
 
-  * Transform task -- XSLT 
-
-  * Output logs in XML -- this would be a global option of the project
-    (log location, verboseness, etc)
-
-  * Javac improvements -- support the "modern" 1.3 compiler
-
   * Investigate some sort of command line "execute an instance of a
     task with these parameters" entry point. Maybe a
     `org.apache.ant.TaskMain task org.foo.BarTask attrib1=foo
     attrib2=bar` type entry point?
 
-  * Investigate some sort of "touch" functionality. Not sure how this
-    could be done in a portable way -- maybe append 0 bytes to a file
-    as a quick hack?
-
   * GUI front end -- examine tasks, add task properties, etc. Also,
     one button push build of a particular target.

+Changes from Ant 1.1 to the current sources
+
+Changes that could break older buildfiles:
+------------------------------------------
+
+* copying of support files in <javac> has been removed.
+
+Other changes:
+--------------
+
+* New tasks (sql, junit, javacc) all pending documentation, some of
+them pending review.
+
+* <java> uses ClassLoader of its own in no-fork mode if a classpath is
+specified.
+
+* <style> will create the necessary target directories and reprocess
+all files if the stylesheet changes.
+
+* Path and EnumeratedAttribute moved to a new package
+org.apache.tools.ant.types.
+
+* New data types fileset and patternset - expected to get a broader
+use, pending documentation.
+
+* You can specify environment variables to the exec task - pending
+documentation.
+
+Fixed bugs:
+-----------
+
+* <chmod> didn't work when used as a directory based task.
+
+* Path didn't resolve relative filenames with respect to the Project's
+basedir.
+
+* Project didn't interpret the basedir attribute correctly in all
+cases.
