Having a deeper look into the distros ... Jan
Binary distro: ============== WHATSNEW-file ------------- * The -noproxy option which was in the previous 1.7 alpha and beta releases has been removed. It is the default behavior and not needed. should be removed because it is no "Change from Ant 1.6.5 to Ant 1.7.0". Also delete the paragraph * On Java1.5+, Ant automatically sets the system property java.net.useSystemProxies to true, which gives it automatic use of the local IE (Windows) or Gnome2 (Unix/Linux) proxy settings. This may break any build file that somehow relied on content outside the firewall being unreachable: use the -noproxy command-line option to disable this new feature. Note that the Java1.5 proxy configuration system still does not appear to work reliably on Windows or Linux. Write a reason why these tasks have been removed: the required libraries are no longer available. * Support for the XSL:P XML parser has been removed. Bugzilla Report 23455. * Visual Age for Java optional tasks removed. * Testlet (test) optional task removed. * Icontract optional task removed. * Metamata (maudit, mmetrics, and mparse tasks) removed. * Sitraka (jpcoverage, jpcovmerge, jpcovreport) tasks suppressed. A word to the generated MD5-files: would it make trouble to include the filename? MD5Checker could benefit. E.g. there are windows tools which integrate themselves into the Windows Explorer and you could do the MD5-Check by right-clicking on the MD5-file. But then the filename(s) for the sums they are generated for must be included. E.g. f3c9e94df5f4cc639ad8067700b3d571 *apache-ant-1.7.0-src.zip instead of f3c9e94df5f4cc639ad8067700b3d571 manual::Getting Ant ------------------- The "Proxy Configuration" paragraph is wrong - it uses -noproxy instead of -autoproxy. I just ask myself if the manual sais something about using fetch.xml .... "Library Dependencies" does not.
