The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the releases of Apache Ant
1.9.10 and 1.10.2.
Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that helps building
software.
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 1.10.2 unless you are required to use
versions of Java prior to Java8 during the build process.
Ant 1.10.2 contains a superset of 1.9.10 - 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 a few new features being
added. A new javaversion condition can be used to detect the version of
the JVM running Ant.
The log4j listener has been deprecated as log4j 1.x is no longer
actively developed and we've made sure the listener works when using the
log4j2 logging bridge. In 1.10.2 the imaging tasks have been deprecated
as JAI doesn't seem to work with Java9 anymore.
Source and binary distributions are available for download from the
Apache Ant download site:

Changes in 1.10.2 include:
==
Changes that could break older environments:
- ---
* updated the dependency of BCEL to 6.2.
Bugzilla Report 61196
* delete task previously would silently accept wildcard (*)
value for the "file" attribute. That's no longer the case
and an exception could get thrown by the underlying filesystem
for such use. Usage like:
should instead be changed to use resource collections like:
* Commons Net 3.6 is binary-code, but not source compatible;
see change list of Commons Net 3.0 for details
* The Log4jListener is marked as deprecated as the required log4j library
(in version 1.x) is not maintained any more.
* Image task is marked as deprecated as the required JAI library is not
maintained any more and internal APIs that JAI depended on are no longer
available in Java 9.
Fixed bugs:
- ---
* 's child now skips s that lack a key or
value.
Bugzilla Report 60767

Bugzilla Reports 59648 and 43271
* Fixed the issue where the source file being copied could end
up being corrupted if the target of the copy happened to be
the same source file (symlinked back to itself).
Bugzilla Report 60644
* Fixed the issue where symlink creation with "overwrite=false",
on existing symlink whose target was a directory, would end
up creating a new symlink under the target directory.

* Improvement to the Zip task for reduced memory usage in certain
cases. Thanks to Glen Lewis for reporting the issue and
suggesting the fix.
