Ant 1.7 introduces a resource framework. Some of the core ant
- tasks such as <copy/> are now able to process not only file
- system resources but also zip entries, tar entries, paths, ...
- Resource collections group resources, and can be further
- combined with operators such as union and intersection. This
- can be extended by custom resources and custom tasks using resources.
-
- Ant 1.7 starts outsourcing of optional tasks to Antlibs.
- The .NET antlib in preparation will replace the .NET optional tasks which ship in Ant.
- Support for the version control system Subversion will be only provided as an antlib to
- be released shortly.

Ant 1.7 fixes also a large number of bugs.
