I guess we should have the 2.0.0 beta 1 pretty soon, I'd like to discuss the announcement so that everything is ready if the current build get approved by the vote. Here is my proposition: ---------------------8<-------------------- Dec XX 2007 - The Apache Ivy project is please to announce its 2.0.0 beta 1 release, a new step on the road toward 2.0 final.
Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and reporting) project dependencies, characterized by flexibility, configurability, and tight integration with Apache Ant. Apache Ivy has recently graduated fron the Apache Incubator as a subproject of Apache Ant, as such this is its first release as an official Apache project. The status of this version is a beta, meaning that we encourage users to try it out, this version is already providing a good stability and robustness, API and features are still subject to change though. Key features of the 2.0.0-beta1 release are * enhanced Maven2 compatibility * improved concurrency support with cache locking and atomic publish * numerous bug fixes as documented in Jira and in the release notes. Issues should be reported to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY Download the 2.0.0 alpha 2 release files at: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/download.html More information can be found on the Ivy website: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ Regards, Xavier Hanin (2.0.0-beta1 release mgr) ---------------------8<-------------------- Thoughts?
