-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Ant 1.9.5.
Version 1.9.5 is mostly a bug fix release but adds a few new features like new resource collections allbutlast/allbutfirst that complement the existing first/last collections. Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that helps building software. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Ant download site: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available at the above location when downloading the release. Changes in this version include: Changes that could break older environments: - ------------------------------------------- * The ReplaceTokens filter can now use token-separators longer than one 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. 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.
