I'm subscribed to ant-dev now to try to follow what's going on. I really DO hope it'll end up being compatible with either 1.4 or 1.5. They'll definitely hear me complain if that's not the case (although I guess they probably won't care). > P.S.

I hope it won't end up being true, so I'll take it as a joke (for now) :) Remy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
