version. For instance is the new release is a RC2, then the RC1 should be
removed. But do keep old final release; some users might not want use to the
exact same version of Ivy they use in Ant, which might not be the latest one.
To do so just <tt>svn rm</tt> the jars, checksums and signatures of the
features and plugins to remove.

the digest.zip, and the jar of the plugins are compressed with a better
algorithm.
