* XML namespaces are now enabled in the XML parser, meaning XML namespace
declarations no longer cause errors.

+Changes from Ant 1.5.1 to Ant 1.5.2
+=============================================
+
+Changes that could break older environments:
+--------------------------------------------
+* ANT_OPTS environment variable is now applied at the start of the
+ Java command line, allowing position specific parameters of some
+ JVMs, such as -classic to be specified.
+
+* ZipScanner#getIncludedFiles will now return the names of the ZipEntries
+ that have been matched instead of the name of the archive.
+
+* The <zip> task and friends have been heavily modified, almost every
+ method signature of the Zip class has changed. If you have subclassed
+ Zip (or one of its subclasses), your class will most likely not
+ compile against the current code base. If it still compiles, it will
