04 March 2008 - Apache Ivy 2.0.0-beta2 Now Available

The Apache Ivy project is pleased to announce its 2.0.0 beta 2 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.

This is a beta release, for wide testing with users. Problems found at this phase can be fixed in the final release, so now is a good time to download and use it. Although there may be some changes at the API level, it is already being in production builds in many large Java projects.

Key features of the 2.0.0-beta2 release are

• enhanced Maven2 compatibility, with a fully rewritten pom parser
• improved cache management, including dynamic revision caching with fine grain TTL
• namespace aware validation, allowing to use validation with extra attributes
• easier settings loading, which do not require an id anymore
• numerous bug fixes as documented in Jira and in the release notes

Issues should be reported to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY

Project Info -- Apache Ivy

Apache Ivy is a transitive dependency manager currently being developed in the Apache Ant. Ivy works with Apache Ant to perform Java project dependency resolution. Project dependencies are defined in an external XML file and list the resources necessary to build a project. Ivy then downloads resources, similar to the way that Apache Maven does.
