as an attribute, printing a warning message; now it signs files in the

+* An improved method of handling timestamp granularity differences between
+ client and server was added to the <ftp> task. FTP servers typically
+ have HH:mm timestamps whereas local filesystems have HH:mm:ss timestamps.
+ Previously, this required tweaking with the timediffmillis attribute
+ which also was used to handle timezone differences. Now, there is a new
+ timestampgranularity attribute. The default value for get operations is 0
+ since the user has the more powerful preservelastmodified attribute to
work
+ with. Since this is not available on put operations the default value
+ adds a minute to the server timestamp in order to account for this,
+ Scripts which previously used timediffmillis to do this compensation may
+ need to be rewritten. timediffmillis has now been deprecated.

+* <ftp> task has had a number of changes. Uptodate calculation previously

+ timestamp were equal. Bugzilla report 34941. Any script that attempted
+ to compensate for this by using the timediffmillis attribute might need
