Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
* Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!
* Properties will now be expanded in mail message bodies. This means
that one $ sign will be stripped if your mail message contains the text
$$.
* org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Expand no longer extends MatchingTask.
* Available#setFile now again uses a File argument as it did in 1.4,
this may break environments that have been adapted to the String
argument version present in 1.5beta1.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* When <move> attempts a rename, it deletes the destination file, if it
exists, before renaming the source file. However, <move> was not
checking if the destination file was actually a directory before
trying to delete it.
* Make CVS Tasks to work under Cygwin.
* Fix LineContains to handle huge files elegantly without causing
Stack Overflows.
* if you ask for the "classic" compiler on Java1.4, you get upgraded to
"modern" because there is no classic compiler any more.
* the <http> condition was viewing 404 'not found' exceptions as success. Now
it defaults to viewing any response >=400 as an error, and has an errorsBeginAt
attribute you can use if you want a higher or lower value.
* <get> throws a build exception on an http authorization error, unless you
have set ignoreerrors to true.
* <wsdltodotnet> was spelt in Wintel case: <WsdlToDotnet>. It is now lower
case, though the old spelling is retained for anyone who used it.
* Merging of Manifests in jar now works as documented.
* paths that have been separated by colons would be incorrectly parsed
on NetWare.
* runant.pl now supports NetWare.
* <tempfile> and <setproxy> tasks were in beta1, but not defined by
default; They now are. <tempfile> fills a property with the name of a
temporary file; <setproxy> lets you set the JVM's http, ftp and socks proxy
settings.
* <available classname="foo" ignoresystemclasses="true"> failed for
JDK 1.1 and 1.2, even if the class could be found on the
user-specified classpath.
* <property environment=... /> now works on z/OS.
* forked <javac> failed for the wrong reason on JDK 1.1 - Ant would
use a temporary file to hold the names of the files to compile under
some conditons, but 1.1 doesn't support this feature. Ant will no
longer try this, but you may run into problems with the length of the
command line now.
* the refid attribute for <property>s nested into <ant> or <param>s
nested into <antcall> didn't work.
* <replaceregexp> didn't work for nested <fileset>s.
* <javadoc> dropped sourcepath entries if no "interesting" .java
source files could be found below them. This has been backwards
incompatible and caused problems with custom doclets like xdoclet.
* Using the doclet, docletpath or docletpathref attributes of
<javadoc> may have caused NullPointerExceptions.
* nested <filesets> of <javadoc> would include too much.
* <dependset> will no longer choke on <targetfileset>s that point to
non-existing directories.
* <patch> didn't work at all.
* <replace> and <replaceregexp> now fail if the file they are working
on is locked.
* <javadoc> would pick up the wrong executable in the combination JDK
1.2 and AIX.
Other changes:
--------------
* z/OS now gets detected by the os condition.
* <fileset> and <dirset> now have an optional followsymlink attribute
that can prevent Ant from following symbolic links on some platforms.
* BeanShell is now supported in the <script> task.
* <ejbjar> under Weblogic attempts to use the ejbc20 compiler for 2.0 beans
based on the deployment descriptor's DTD reference. Under weblogic 7.00 Beta
this ejbc class has been deprecated. To avoid the deprecation warning use
ejbcclass="weblogic.ejbc".
* <ejbjar> will add a manifest to the generated jar based on the naming
convention in use. This overrides the manifest specified in the
<ejbjar> attribute
Changes from Ant 1.4.1 to 1.5beta1
==================================
Changes that could break older environments:
--------------------------------------------
* Important: Single $ signs are no longer silently stripped!
Before you panic that we have broken all your build files, we have kept
the old "$$" -> "$" behaviour. So only build files which accidentally had
a $ sign in a string that was being silently stripped may break.
We added this fix to stop newbie confusion; if you want to write a
build file which works on ant versions 1.4.1 or earlier, stay with
the double $$ sign rule.
