Well, nothing critical, but I've been quite shocked by the changes in the cache management: - 3 tags for cache configuration: settings, caches and cache - inconsistent/confusing attributes on the settings tag: defaultCache and resolutionCacheDir - different naming styles although they're both directories; and both of them specify the resolution cache but defaultCache also specifies the repository cache? - some confusion between "defaultCache" on settings, "default" on caches, and "default-cache" - ivy and artifact patterns everywhere I managed to work it out (using only one cache, thank you very much!), but I really think this stuff can be greatly improved, at least by moving/merging all the cache-related attributes from "settings" to "caches" and giving them better names. "cache" tags could be ok as they are now. If there are legacy compatibility requirements, the old-style attributes can still be supported but deprecated. Regards, Adrian
