The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the releases of Apache Ant 1.9.13 and 1.10.5.
The Apache Ant team currently maintains two lines of development. The 1.9.x releases require Java5 at runtime and 1.10.x requires Java8 at runtime. Both lines are based off of Ant 1.9.7 and the 1.9.x releases are mostly bug fix releases while additional new features are developed for 1.10.x. We recommend using 1.10.5 unless you are required to use versions of Java prior to Java8 during the build process. Ant 1.10.5 contains a superset of 1.9.13 - with the exception of a few tasks and features that no longer work with Java8 anyway (like the apt task). Both releases are mostly bug fix releases with few new features added. Both 1.9.13 and 1.10.5 fix a regression in the "get" task and also address a remaining issue with unjar, untar and unzip tasks where they would end up extracting content outside of the destination directory. 1.10.5 also introduces an enhancement to the "java" task to allow launching single-file source programs, a Java language feature that is introduced in the upcoming Java 11 release. Source and binary distributions are available for download from the Apache Ant download site: https://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi https://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi When downloading, please verify signatures by following the instructions noted in the "Verify Releases" section at the above locations. Changes in 1.10.5 include: ========================== Fixed bugs: ----------- * Fixes a regression in the "get" task where redirects from a HTTP resource to a HTTPS resource started throwing an exception. Bugzilla Report 62499 * the new allowFilesToEscapeDest didn't work when set to false and archive entries contained relative paths with so many ".." segnments that the resulting path would go beyond the file system root. Bugzilla Report 62502 Other changes: -------------- * Java task now accepts a "sourcefile" attribute to allow single file source program execution, a feature that is introduced in Java 11. Changes in 1.9.13 include: ========================== Fixed bugs: ----------- * Fixes a regression in the "get" task where redirects from a HTTP resource to a HTTPS resource started throwing an exception. Bugzilla Report 62499 * the new allowFilesToEscapeDest didn't work when set to false and archive entries contained relative paths with so many ".." segnments that the resulting path would go beyond the file system root.
