Changes from Ant 1.10.0 TO Ant 1.10.1
=====================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Ant 1.10.0 made Path#systemClasspath final which broke the Eclipse
integration.
Bugzilla Report 60582
* the wrapper script still didn't work on Solaris 10, but worked on
Solaris 11.
The "fixed" script should work in most cases but will not preserve
newlines present in command line arguments.
Bugzilla Report 60562
Other changes:
--------------
* new tasks <xz> and <unxz> and resource <xzresource> for XZ
compression. Also the compression attribute of <tar>/<untar> now
accepts "xz" as valid value.
The tasks and type are contained in the new ant-xz.jar and require
the library XZ for Java to be on the CLASSPATH.
Bugzilla Report 60350
Changes from Ant 1.9.7 TO Ant 1.10.0
====================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* Ant 1.10.x requires Java8 or newer at compile or build time.
The 1.9.x series wil stay compatible with Java5.
* The <apt> task has been removed since apt itself has been removed
with Java8.
* <fileset>/<zipfileset>/<tarfileset> exhibited undefined
behavior when both the dir and file attribute have been used on the
same instance. This will now cause the build to fail.
Bugzilla Report 59402
* <native2ascii> will default to the builtin implementation on Java8
as well (sun isn't available for Java9+ anyway).
* The ant.java.version property will now hold the value "9" rather
than "1.9" if running on Java 9.
* <rmic> will no longer allow the -Xnew option (or xmic compiler) to
be used when running on Java 9 since this option has been removed.
Bugzilla Report 59906
* <javah> will default to the "forking" implementation on Java8
as well.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* setDynamicAttribute on MacroInstance now lower-cases the attribute
name in order to allow users of the API to use the attributes names
they have specified.
Bugzilla Report 59339
* <get>'s quiet attribute was broken, it didn't suppress any messages.
Bugzilla Report 59379
* <zip>'s check whether an archive is already up-to-date failed on
NTFS filesystems and re-created archives more often than necessary.
Bugzilla Report 59562
* AntClassLoader didn't delegate to the parent loader for classes in
the "jdk" package or one of its subpackages. This hierarchy has
been introduced with Java 7.
Bugzilla Report 59556
* The ant wrapper script used on Unix-like operating systems only
worked on OSes where sed is GNU sed.
Bugzilla Report 59898
* <touch>'s default pattern as well as the default patterns used by
the <date> (resource) selectors depended on the JDK being used - or
rather the locale provider being used and the default locale
provider changed with Java 9.
They are now fixed and the documentation has been updated to
reflect the real patterns used rather than a non-formal description
of the expected format.
Bugzilla Report 59909
* Clarified the documentation of <get>'s retries attribute.
Bugzilla Report 59930
* The ant wrapper script failed if backticks were passed on the
command line.
Bugzilla Report 60150, 59445
* The report generated by <junitreport> could contain duplicate
characters in stack traces.
Bugzilla Report 58661
Other changes:
--------------
* New file selectors <executable>, <symlink> and <ownedBy>.
* New task <setpermissions> that provides the ability to set POSIX
compatible permssions via NIO's PosixFilePermission
* <junit> now initializes the cause of the AssertionFailedError when
converting from AssertionError.
Bugzilla Report 58982
* <scp> now supports compression via the optional compressed attribute.
Bugzilla Report 47552
* <junit> now supports JDK9 modules
Github Pull Request #18
* a new implementation "builtin" has been added to <native2ascii> and
is the default when running on JDK9+ since the tool itself has been
removed from the JDK.
Bugzilla Report 59855
* added a new <native2asciifilter> filter that can perform non-ASCII
to Unicode-escape conversions.
* <rmic> defaults to the "forking" compiler on JDK 9+ as the
implementation class of rmic is not exported by its containing
module and thus not accessible to Ant without applying -XaddExports
magic.
Bugzilla Report 59860
* a new implementation "forking" has been added to <javah> and is
used as default when running on JDK9.
* support for javac's -h switch has been added with the
nativeheaderdir attribute.
Bugzilla Report 59905
* it is now possible to set features of the TraX factory used by <xslt>
and <junitreport>.
* it is now possible to use references to Ant types and classloaders
built around Ant <path>s as values for TraX factory attributes.
* AntClassLoader and its subclasses register themselves as parallel
capable.
* <junitreport> now enables the feature
http://www.oracle.com/xml/jaxp/properties/enableExtensionFunctions
when run on Java 9 so the redirect extension function can be used
if when a SecurityManager is active.
Bugzilla Report 60060
* support for javac's --release switch introduced with Java9 has been
added.
Bugzilla Report 60172
Changes from Ant 1.9.6 TO Ant 1.9.7
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* <exec> and <apply> used to ignore the dir attribute if it was the
same as the current working directory. They now no longer do,
which changes the behavior for vmlauncher="false" which would have
used the project's basedir rather than the current working
directory in that case.
Bugzilla Report 58555
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* ZipOutputStream could cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when
adding entries with comments. This never happens when using Ant as
a build tool but may affect users using Ant's zip package as a
library.
* <gunzip> and <bunzip2> didn't work for non-filesystem resources.
* <jar> ignored the zip64Mode attribute when creating manifest-only
jars. This resulted in jar files that couldn't be read by Java5.
Bugzilla Report 58428
* <untar> will now detect GNU tar longname/link records even if they
don't use the names used by GNU tar itself. star is known to
create archives of that kind.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-324
* <script> could fail to find javax.script on JDK9 with Jigsaw.
Bugzilla Report 58271
* <import> sometimes failed to normalize file names which could lead
to files getting imported twice which in turn could lead to targets
getting executed twice.
Bugzilla Report 58886
* TarInputStream now properly extraxt directory entries with a
non-zero size.
* <union> would drop file resources pointing to the same file but
using different names.
Bugzilla Report 57965
* <replace>'s result was undefined when using the replacefilterfile
attribute and some keys inside the properties files have been
substrings of other keys. Keys are now sorted by descending size.
Bugzilla Report 58997
* Ant fails to run when arguments contain double-quote character.
Bugzilla Report 58898
* Ant fails to run if ANT_HOME contains a double-quote character.
Bugzilla Report 58874
* Definer's way to parse URLs from classloader breaks with
recent Java 9 builds (b108).
Bugzilla Report 59130
* <ant> and <antcall> now preserve the ext status set by an <exit>
task.
Bugzilla Report 59228
Other changes:
--------------
* <scp> now supports (filesystem-only) resource collections in
addition to filesets.
Bugzilla Report 50769
* The <http> condition has a new optional attribute followRedirects.
Bugzilla Report 58840

* <javac> now supports Java9 modules.
https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/16
* <sshexec> and <scp> have two new attributes serverAliveInterval and
serverAliveCountMax that can be used to keep a intermediaries from
closing idle connections.
Bugzilla Report 59162
Changes from Ant 1.9.5 TO Ant 1.9.6
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when ZIP extra fields are read and
the entry contains an UnparseableExtraField.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-317
Other changes:
--------------
* Hidden <javaconstant> resource is published now. It reads the
value of a specified java constant.
Changes from Ant 1.9.4 TO Ant 1.9.5
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* The ReplaceTokens filter can now use token-separators longer than
one character. This means it can be used to replace mustache-style
{{patterns}} and similar templates. This is going to break code
that invokes the setters on ReplaceTokens via the Java API as their
parameters have been changed from char to String. It may also
break build files that specified multi character tokens and relied
on Ant silently ignoring all but the first character.
Bugzilla Report 56584
* The changes that added <get>'s support for gzip encoding
automatically uncompressed content that would not have been touched
before - like when downloading .tar.gz files. A new flag has been
added to control the behavior and its default will make <get> work
as it did in 1.9.3. I.e. if you want it to work like 1.9.4
you have to explicitly set tryGzipEncoding to true.
Bugzilla Report 57048
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* TarArchiveInputStream failed to read archives with empty gid/uid
fields.
Bugzilla Report 56641
* TarArchiveInputStream could throw IOException when reading PAX
headers from a "slow" InputStream.
* XMLJunitResultFormatter could throw NullPointerException if Java
cannot determine the local hostname.
Bugzilla Report 56593
* URLResource#getLastModified tried to access the connection to the
URL without making sure it was established, potentially leading to
a NullPointerException when using FTP.
Bugzilla Report 56873
* Long-Name and -link or PAX-header entries in TAR archives
always had the current time as last modfication time, creating
archives that are different at the byte level each time an
archive was built.
* runant.py should now work as well when the path of the Java executable
contains spaces.
github pull request #1
* <junitreport> now supports nested <classpath> and <factory> elements.
Bugzilla Report 47002
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also knows about the -file option.
Bugzilla Report 57371
* the br-replace template inside the XSLT stylesheets used by
<junitreport> could cause stack overflows or out-of-memory errors
when applied to big outputs.
Bugzilla Report 57341
* removed spurious warning about unclosed ZipFiles when reading the
archive failed.
Port of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-297
* FileUtils.rename which is used by several tasks can throw a
NullPointerException if the "normal" renameTo operation fails and
an exception occurs while rename falls back to copying and deleting
the file.
Bugzilla Report 57533
* complete-ant-cmd.pl would incorrectly suggest words from the build
file description.
Bugzilla Report 51931
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also completes tasks without a description.
Bugzilla Report 57542
* LocalPropertyStack could run into ConcurrentModificationException
when tasks spawned new child threads that accessed the properties.
Bugzilla Report 55074
* TarEntry's constructor with a File and a String arg didn't
normalize the name.
* Between 1.8.4 and 1.9.0 TarInputStream started to parse file
names using the platform's default encoding rather than as ASCII.
This has been a breaking change that has never been marked as such
(in fact it went unnoticed). In order to allow <untar> and
<tarfileset> to work on platforms who's encoding doesn't match the
encoding of file names inside the archive, both now support
encoding attributes.
The attribute has also been added to <tar> for symmetry.
Bugzilla Report 57822
Other changes:
--------------
* it is now possible to provide proxy configuration to signjar
when using the timestamped authority.
Bugzilla Report 56678
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also analyzes the ANT_ARGS environment
variable.
Bugzilla Report 57371
* ported some of the write-optimization of Commons Compress 1.10 to
the ZIP package
* adapted unit tests to Java9 and added "javac1.9" as valid option
for javac's compiler attribute.
* performance improvements for <intersect>
Bugzilla Report 57588
* MailLogger can now add CC and BCC addresses.
Bugzilla Report 57789.
* <scp>'s buffer size has been increased from 1k to 100k to match
<ftp> and <get>.
github pull requests #8 and #9
* The tar package can now deal with group and user ids bigger than
0x80000000.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-314
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-315
* <scp> has new attributes fileMode and dirMode that control the
permissions on the remote side when sending data via SSH.
Bugzilla Report 43271.
* New <allbutlast> and <allbutfirst> resource collections can be used
to select all but a given subset of a resource collection.
Bugzilla Report 57834.
Changes from Ant 1.9.3 TO Ant 1.9.4
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* the prefixValues attribute of <property> didn't work as expected
when set to false (the default).
It is quite likely existing build files relied on the wrong
behavior and expect Ant to resolve the value side against the
properties defined in the property file itself - these build files
must now explicitly set the prefixValues attribute to true.
Bugzilla Report 54769
* when matching an entry of a zip/tarfileset against a pattern a
leading slash will be stripped from the entry name. Most archives
don't contain paths with leading slashes anyway.
This may cause include/exclude patterns that start with a / to stop
matching anything. Such patterns only used to work by accident and
only on platforms with multiple file system roots.
Bugzilla Report 53949
* DirectoryScanner and thus fileset/dirset will now silently drop all
filesystem objects that are neither files nor directories according
to java.io.File. This prevents Ant from reading named pipes which
might lead to blocking or other undefined behavior.
Bugzilla Report 56149
* BuildFileTest and BaseSelectorTest have both been deprecated in
favour of BuildFileRule and BaseSelectorRule respectively, and the
tests that previously extended these base tests have been converted to
JUnit 4 tests using the new "rule"s. Any external test that sub-classed
a test in the Ant workspace, rather than BuildFileTest, will need
changed to either use JUnit4's annotations, or be modified to
extend BuildFileTest directly. This will not affect any tests that are
being executed by Ant's junit or batchtest tasks that are not specifically
testing Ant's code.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* <import>/<include> failed when the importing file was loaded from an
URI or a jar and it imported a file from the local file system via
an absolute path.
Bugzilla Report 50953
* <import> could import the same resource twice when imported via
different resource types.
Bugzilla Report 55097
* several calls to File#mkdirs could fall victim to a race condition
where another thread already created the same directory.
Bugzilla Report 55290
* <manifestclasspath> created '/' rather than './' for the parent
directory of the given jarfile.
Bugzilla Report 55049
* <concat>'s fixlastline="true" didn't work when using certain filter
readers.
Bugzilla Report 54672
* several places where resources are read from jars will now
explicitly disable caching to avoid problems with reloading jars.
Bugzilla Report 54473
* AntClassloader will now ignore files that are part of the classpath
but not zip files when scanning for resources. It used to throw an
exception.
Bugzilla Report 53964
* <javadoc> caused a NullPointerException when no destdir was set.
Bugzilla Report 55949
* <jar filesetmanifest="mergewithoutmain"> would still include the
Main section of the fileset manifests if there was no nested
manifest or manifest attribute.
Bugzilla Report 54171
* reading of compiler args has become more defensive
Bugzilla Report 53754
* <copy> without force="true" would not only fail to overwrite a
read-only file as expected but also remove the existing file.
Bugzilla Report 53095
* <delete removeNotFollowedSymlinks="true"> would remove symbolic
links to not-included files. It will still delete symlinks to
directories that would have been followed even if they are not
explicitly included. exclude-Patterns can still be used to
preserve symbolic links.
Bugzilla Report 53959
* Sometimes copy-operations using NIO FileChannels fail. Ant will
now try to use a Stream based copy operation as fallback when the
Channel based copy fails.
Bugzilla Reports 53102 and 54397
* Javadoc.postProcessGeneratedJavadocs() fails for Classes that
extend Javadoc
Bugzilla Report 56047
* TarInputStream will now read archives created by tar
implementations that encode big numbers by not adding a trailing
NUL.
* the isExists() method of URLResource returned false positives for
HTTP and FTP URLs.
Other changes:
--------------
* initial support for Java 1.9
* <sshexec> can optionally pass System.in to the remote process
Bugzilla Report 55393
* <sshexec> now supports capturing error output of the executed
process and setting a property from the return code.
Bugzilla Report 48478
* <javadoc> now has an option to fail if javadoc issues warnings.
Bugzilla Report 55015
* <sql> has a new outputencoding attribute.
Bugzilla Report 39541
* changes to JUnitTestRunner and PlainJUnitResultFormatter to make
OutOfMemoryErrors less likely.
Bugzilla Report 45536
* changes to DOMElementWriter to make OutOfMemoryErrors less likely.
Bugzilla Report 54147
* <redirector> has a new attribute binaryOutput that prevents Ant
from splitting the output into lines. This prevents binary output
from being corrupted but may lead to error and normal output being
mixed up.
Bugzilla Report 55667
Bugzilla Report 56156
* the nested <message> elements of <mail> now have an optional
inputEncoding attribute that can be used to specify the encoding of
files read that don't use the platform's default encoding.
Bugzilla Report 56258
* The <get> task now explicitly accepts and supports the gzip content encoding.
Bugzilla Report 49453
* A new resourcecollection type <multirootfileset> acts like a union
of <fileset>s and <dirset>s that share the same configuration but
have different base directories.
Bugzilla Report 48621
* <get> has a quiet attribute that makes the task log errors only
when enabled.
GitHub Pull Request #1
* <junit> has now a threads attribute allowing to run the tests in several threads.
Bugzilla Report 55925
* addition of a new ProcessUtil class providing the process id of the current process
* changes to allow to run the JUnit testcases of Ant in parallel,
by making them use unique temporary directories
Changes from Ant 1.9.2 TO Ant 1.9.3
===================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* <parallel> swallowed the status code of nested <fail> tasks.
Bugzilla Report 55539.
* a race condition could make <fixcrlf> tasks of parallel builds to
interfere with each other.
Bugzilla Report 54393.
* <mail>'s mailport still didn't work properly when using smtps.
Bugzilla Report 49267.
* using attributes belonging to the if and unless namespaces
made macrodef fail.
Bugzilla Report 55885.
* Ant 1.8 exec task changes have slowed exec to a crawl
Bugzilla Report 54128.
* Apt is not available under JDK 1.8
Bugzilla Report 55922.
Other changes:
--------------
* Documentation fix for if/unless attributes. PR 55359.
* tar entries with long link names are now handled the same way as
entries with long names.
* Addition of 'skipNonTests' attribute to <junit> and <batchtest>
tasks to allow the tasks to skip classes that don't contain tests.
* <filterset> now supports a nested <propertyset> to specify filters.
Bugzilla Report 55794.
* <xslt>'s params can now be typed.
Bugzilla Report 21525.
* build of Mac OS X pkg installer
Bugzilla Report 55899.
Changes from Ant 1.9.1 TO Ant 1.9.2
===================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Parsing of zip64 extra fields has become more lenient in order to
be able to read archives created by DotNetZip and maybe other
archivers as well.
* TarInputStream should now properly read GNU longlink entries' names.
Bugzilla Report 55040.
* <java> and <exec> used to be too restrictive when evaluating
whether a given set of options is compatible with spawning the new
process.
Bugzilla Report 55112.
Other changes:
--------------
* <javadoc> will now post-process the generated in order to mitigate
the frame injection attack possible in javadocs generated by Oracle
JDKs prior to Java7 Update 25. The vulnerability is known as
CVE-2013-1571.
There is an option to turn off the post-processing but it is only
recommended you do so if all your builds use a JDK that's not
vulnerable.
Bugzilla Report 55132.
Changes from Ant 1.9.0 TO Ant 1.9.1
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* Users who have their own ProjectHelper implementation will need to change it because the import and include tasks
will now default the targetPrefix to ProjectHelper.USE_PROJECT_NAME_AS_TARGET_PREFIX.
Users using the default ProjectHelper2 with ant need not worry about this change done to fix Bugzilla Report 54940.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Corrected XSLTC error in <junitreport>.
Bugzilla Report 54641.
* Provide more control over Zip64 extensions created by <zip> and
related tasks. In particular no Zip64 extensions will be used at
all by the <jar> task family by default - this is required for jars
to be readably by Java5.
Bugzilla Report 54762.
* Fixed loading of external dependencies in JUnit task.
Bugzilla Report 54835.
* Target rewriting for nested "include" only works when "as" is specified.
See also "Changes that could break older environments"
Bugzilla Report 54940.
Other changes:
--------------
* strict attribute added to <signjar>.
Bugzilla Report 54889.
* simplifying Execute.getEnvironmentVariables since we are only running on Java 1.5 or higher now
* Added conditional attributes.
Bugzilla Report 43362
* Recommending to upgrade jsch to 0.1.50, particularly if you are using Java 1.7.
jsch is the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.
Versions of jsch older than 0.1.50 fail randomly under Java 1.7 with an error message "verify: false"
Changes from Ant 1.8.4 TO Ant 1.9.0
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* Ant now requires at least Java 1.5 to compile and to run
* FixCRLF used to treat the EOL value ASIS to convert to the system property
line.separator. Specified was that ASIS would leave the EOL characters alone,
the task now really leaves the EOL characters alone. This also implies that
EOL ASIS will not insert a newline even if fixlast is set to true.
Bugzilla report 53036
* The CommandLauncher hierarchy that used to be a set of inner
classes of Execute has been extracted to the
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.launcher package.
* Any FileResource whose represented File has a parent also has a basedir.
* Removing the Perforce Ant tasks replaced by tasks supplied by Perforce Inc.
* Setting the default encoding of StringResource to UTF-8 instead of null
* Upgrade JUnit 4 to JUnit 4.11
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Made VectorSet faster.
Bugzilla Report 53622.
* Incorrect URLs in Ant child POMs.
Bugzilla Report 53617.
* Subclasses of JUnitTask did not correctly find junit.jar.
Bugzilla Report 53571.
* External XML catalog resolver failed to use project basedir when given an
unmentioned relative path like the internal resolver does.
Bugzilla Report 52754.
* Fixed some potential stream leaks.
Bugzilla Reports 52738, 52740, 52742, 52743.
* Updated documentation to fix spelling errors / broken links.
Bugzilla Reports 53215, 53291, 53202
* Unable to override system properties. It was not possible not to override
system properties from the command line (or from a property file).
Bugzilla Report 51792
* <javac> by default fails when run on JDK 8.
Bugzilla Report 53347.
* ExtensionPoint doesn't work with nested import/include
Bugzilla Report 53405.
* <packagemapper> failed to strip the non-matched parts with
handledirsep="true".
Bugzilla Report 53399.
* <expandproperties> filter caused a NullPointerException when input
was empty.
Bugzilla Report 53626.
* <get> now supports HTTP redirects using status code 307.
Bugzilla Report 54374.
* ssh tasks prompt for kerberos username/password under Java 7
Bugzilla Report 53437.
* Zip task on <mappedresources> that excludes certain files by way of the mapper resulted in a NullPointerException
Bugzilla Report 54026
* The ant launcher script should properly detect JAVA_HOME on
MacOS X 10.7
Bugzilla Report 52632
* Depend task does not handle invokeDynamic constant pool entries - java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid Constant Pool entry Type 18
Bugzilla Report 54090
* Base64Converter not properly handling bytes with MSB set (not masking byte to int conversion)
Bugzilla Report 54460
* The size resource comparator would return wrong results if file
sizes differed by more than 2 GB.
Bugzilla Report 54623
* Unable to encode properly into UTF-8 when the system property file.encoding is
set to ANSI_X3.4-1968.
Bugzilla Report 54606
* JUnit4 tests marked @Ignore do not appear in XML output
Bugzilla Report 43969
Other changes:
--------------
* merged the ZIP package from Commons Compress, it can now read
archives using Zip64 extensions (files and archives bigger that 4GB
and with more that 64k entries).
* a new task <commandlauncher> can be used to configure the
CommandLauncher used by Ant when forking external programs or new
Java VMs.
Bugzilla Report 52706.
* merged the TAR package from Commons Compress, it can now read
archives using POSIX extension headers and STAR extensions.
* merged the BZIP2 package from Commons Compress, it can now
optionally read files that contain multiple streams properly.
* <bunzip2> will now properly expand files created by pbzip2 and
similar tools that create files with multiple bzip2 streams.
* <tar> now supports a new "posix" option for longfile-mode which
will make it create PAX extension headers for long file names. PAX
extension headers are supported by all modern implementations of
tar including GNU tar.
This option should now be used in preference to "warn" or "gnu" as
it is more portable. For backwards compatibility reasons "warn"
will still create "gnu" extensions rather than "posix" extensions.
* The ProjectHelper class now exposes a method to be used by third party
implementations to properly resolve the binding between target extensions
and extension points.
Bugzilla Report 53549.
* Make extension point bindable to imported prefixed targets
Bugzilla Report 53550.
* Add the possibility to register a custom command line argument processor.
See org.apache.tools.ant.ArgumentProcessor and manual/argumentprocessor.html
* add the possibility to suppress stdout in the sshexec task.
Bugzilla Report 50270.
* add an encoding attribute to the contains selector.
This will be useful to use the contains selector if the encoding of the VM is different from the encoding
of the files being selected.
* support for GNU Classpath.
Bugzilla report 54760.
Changes from Ant 1.8.3 TO Ant 1.8.4
===================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Ported libbzip2's fallback sort algorithm to CBZip2OutputStream to
speed up compression in certain edge cases. Merge from Commons
Compress.
Using specially crafted inputs this can be used as a denial of
service attack.
See http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2098
Changes from Ant 1.8.2 TO Ant 1.8.3
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* The Enumeration returned by AntClassLoader#getResources used to
return null in nextElement after hasNextElement would return false.
It has been changed to throw a NoSuchElementException instead so
that it now adheres to the contract of java.util.Enumeration.
Bugzilla Report 51579.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Removed buggy duplicate JAR list in RPM mode.
Bugzilla Report 52556.
* Launcher fixed to pass the right class loader parent.
Bugzilla Report 48633.
* <junitreport> mishandled ${line.separator}.
Bugzilla Report 51049.
* <junitreport> did not work in embedded environments on JDK 7.
Nor did <xslt> when using Xalan redirects.
Bugzilla Report 51668, 52382.
* Encoding of unicode escape sequences by the property file task
Bugzilla Report 50515.
* The code that implicitly sets the -source switch if only -target
has been specified in <javac> was broken for Java 5 and 6.
Bugzilla Report 50578.
* MailLogger ignore the Maillogger.starttls.enable property.
Bugzilla Report 50668.
* Delete task example does not work
Bugzilla Report 50816.
* <splash>'s proxy handling has been delegated to <setproxy>
internally so the two tasks are consistent. <splash>'s way of not
setting a proxy caused problems with other Java libraries.
Bugzilla Report 50888.
* Include task breaks dependencies or extension-points for multiple
files.
Bugzilla Report 50866.
* Read on System.in hangs for forked java task.
Bugzilla Report 50960.
* FileResource specified using basedir/name attributes was non-functional.
* Resource collection implementation of mapped PropertySet returned
unusable resources.
* The hasmethod condition failed with a NullPointerException when
ignoresystemclasses is true and Ant tried to load a "restricted
class" - i.e. a class that the Java VM will only accept when loaded
via the bootclassloader (a java.* class).
It will now fail with a more useful error message.
Bugzilla Report 51035.
* Exec task may mix the stderr and stdout output while logging it
Bugzilla Report 50507.
* Missing space between "finished" and timestamp in task/target
finish message from ProfileLogger.
Bugzilla Report 51109.
* Redirecting the output of a java, exec or apply task could print in the
error output stream some "Pipe broken" errors.
Bugzilla Report 48789.
* ZipFile failed to clean up some resources which could lead to
OutOfMemoryException while unzipping large archives.
A similar problem in ZipArchiveOutputStream has been fixed as well.
Bugzilla Report 42696.
* quiet attribute added to the copy and move tasks, to be used together
with failonerror=false, so warnings won't get logged
Bugzilla Report 48789.
* System.in was closed and not readable anymore by the DefaultInputHandler
when Ant is used via its Java API.
Bugzilla Report 51161
* <sync> only supported a single non-fileset resource collection even
though the manual said it could be multiple.
* <sync> didn't work properly when working on resource collections.
Bugzilla Report 51462.
* <augment> cause a NullPointerException if it was used in a target
that was invoked by multiple targets from the command line.
Bugzilla Report 50894.
* The ZipFile class could read past the start of the file if the
given file is not a ZIP archive and it is smaller than the size of
a ZIP "end of central directory record".
* <javac> would create the empty package-info.class file in the wrong
directory if no destdir was specified. Note it may still pick the
wrong directory if you specify more than one source directory but
no destDir. It is highly recommended that you always explicitly
specify the destDir attribute.
Bugzilla Report 51947.
* packagemapper now honors the handleDirSep attribute.
Bugzilla Report 51086.
* the attributes of macrodef tasks had their values run through
property expansion twice. Still true by default, but can be disabled.
Bugzilla Report 42046.
* jvc doesn't like it if source file names in argument files are
quoted.
Bugzilla Report 31667.
* ZipFile didn't work properly for archives using unicode extra
fields rather than UTF-8 filenames and the EFS-Flag.
* Access to DirectoryScanner's default excludes wasn't synchronized.
Bugzilla Report 52188.
* When a Project instance was created by a custom tasks its
createTask method didn't work.
Bugzilla Report 50788.
Other changes:
--------------
* -f/-file/-buildfile accepts a directory containing build.xml.
* The <javacc>, <jjtree> and <jjdoc> now support a new maxmemory
attribute.
Bugzilla Report 50513.
* the documented inputstring attribute of sshexec has been
implemented and the actually existing attribute inputproperty
documented.
Bugzilla Report 50576.
* The concat task now permits the name of its exposed resource
by means of its 'resourcename' attribute.
* The expandproperties filter now accepts a nested propertyset
which, if specified, provides the properties for expansion.
