More of a FYI - the Jenkins job meant to get you the latest snapshot of
master branch has been changed and you can now get these snapshots from

Hello Ivy community,
Some of you might have already heard that the Ivy project, which hasn’t seen a
release or development for a while, is being revived (more details in the
ant-dev mailing list[1] from the past few weeks). The plan is to have a usable
releasable soon (no specific dates at this point). In an effort to have a
release done, we have identified some issues that were reported in the Ivy JIRA
[2] and have been fixing them since the past few weeks. The goal is to fix some
of the issues that are big enough or easy enough to fit in this release. So far
we have fixed a few.
If you are a Ivy user and had reported any issue, please check the JIRA issue
and see if it has been marked as fixed. If not, please feel free to send a new
mail in this Ivy user list to bring it to the attention of the Ivy
developers/contributors. If there are any issues, you haven’t yet reported, but
would like to report them, now is the time. You can create a mail in this list
first if you are unsure if it’s a bug or some usage problem, to discuss about
it. Although, there’s no guarantee that the issue you raise will be fixed in
this release, given some of the current state of the project, I’m sure some of
us will definitely try and address the issue to whatever level we can.
An additional note - starting this week, thanks to Jan Matèrne, we now have a
nightly build Jenkins job which generates the nightly binary for latest
upstream “master” branch of Ivy. What this means is if you want to try out the
latest fixes or latest state of Ivy (the state that will eventually get
released as we go along), you can get the binary from our “latest successful”
job of the nightly build which is here [3]. You can either pick the .zip or
.tar.gz binary depending on your choice and “install” it as would do with a
released version with Ivy. Please do give it a try and feel free to report any
issues that you might run into in this very Ivy user mailing list.
A quick note on the requirements for the nightly builds and the upcoming
release of Ivy - we now require a minimum of Java 7 runtime, so please use it
accordingly.
