The Apache Ant Team is proud to announce that version 1.7.1 has been
released and is available as source[1] and binary[2] archives now.
Ant 1.7.1 is mostly a bug fix release which addresses numerous issues
found in Ant 1.7.0 released in December 2006.
Several smaller optimizations should lead to an improved performance
when compared to Ant 1.7.0.
In addition Java6 support has been extended and JavaFX is now
supported by the "script" task.

-- The Apache Ivy (at Apache Ant Project) Team
Dec 15 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 from 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
Issues should be reported to: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY

The Apache Ant Developer Team is proud to announce the 1.0 release of the Apache AntUnit Ant library.
AntUnit provides Ant tasks that allow you to write (functional) tests in Ant build files. For example
<target name="testTouchCreatesFile">
<au:assertFileDoesntExist file="${foo}"/>
<touch file="${foo}"/>
<au:assertFileExists file="${foo}"/>
</target>
would assert that a certain file was freshly created by the <touch> task.
We don't suggest that you write the unit tests for all your code using AntUnit. But if you are writing Ant tasks, AntUnit makes it very easy to write tests and in fact is used by the Ant developers to test Ant itself.
In addition to some assertion tasks, the library provides an <antunit> task that runs all tests in selected build files and a formatter mechanism similar to the <junit> task.
The release is the first "proper" release of AntUnit, it is almost identical to the beta2 release.

-- The Apache Ant Developer Team
The Apache Ant team (Apache Ant PMC) members have the pleasure to announce the release of Apache Ant 1.7.0. (Binary Source)
Ant 1.7 introduces a resource framework. Some of the core ant tasks such as <copy/> are now able to process not only file system resources but also zip entries, tar entries, paths, ... Resource collections group resources, and can be further combined with operators such as union and intersection. This can be extended by custom resources and custom tasks using resources.
Ant 1.7 starts outsourcing of optional tasks to Antlibs. The .NET antlib replaces the .NET optional tasks which ship in Ant. Support for the version control system Subversion is also provided as an antlib.
Ant 1.7 fixes also a large number of bugs.
Ant 1.7 has some initial support for Java6 features.

The Apache Ant team is proud to announce the first beta of Ant 1.6. It is now now available for download. As we've already said in the announcements of Ant 1.5.4, this release requires JDK 1.2 or later to run.
We encourage user to give this beta a release a try and report any bugs found so that we get a chance to fix them before we make the final release of Ant 1.6.
Ant 1.6 adds a lot of new features, most prominently support for XML namespaces as well as a new concept of Ant libraries that makes use of namespaces to avoid name clashes of custom tasks. For a longer list of fixed bugs and new features see the release notes.
Apache Ant 1.5.4 is now available for download.
This is a minor bugfix release that fixes a problem with the javah task on JDK 1.4.2 and a couple of bugs in the Visual Age for Java intergration tasks. If you don't use javah or VAJ, there is no reason to upgrade.
This is a maintenance release that fixes several serious bugs in the zip family of tasks found after Apache Ant 1.5.2 was released. For a full list of changes see here.
