Hello Jan, * concerning the WHATSNEW file : I did not have the time and the knowledge to do an intelligent merge of the 4 sections which were in the file (Ant 1.6.5 to Ant 1.7.0Beta1 ... to the new section 1.6.5 to 1.7.0. I would suggest that you correct it. The corrections will only be in 1.7.1 (unless the release is rejected)
* it is true that fetch.xml is not mentioned in the manual. If you have time, feel free to add something about it, it will be in 1.7.1 as well. * I do not have the feeling that these issues are important enough to delay the release.
