Changes from Ant 1.10.16 TO Ant 1.10.17

=======================================

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* The JavaEnvUtils and FileUtils classes statically depend on each

other since Ant 1.10.16 making it impossible to load JavaEnvUtils

without loading FileUtils first causing NullPointerException for

programmatic use on Windows. This affected Eclipse and may also

affect other projects using Ant as a library.

The classes can now be loaded independently again.

Bugzilla Report 69992

Changes from Ant 1.10.15 TO Ant 1.10.16

=======================================

Changes that could break older environments:

-------------------------------------------

* <xslt> now uses the same logic to compare file timestamps when

determining whether a target file is out-of-date with respect to

the source file or stylesheet that most other tasks use. This means

it will assume a default timestamp granularity that depends on the

current operating system.

A new granularity attribute allows you to override the assumed

granularity.

Under certain edge cases this means xslt will now not process files

it would have processed before (when the timestamps of source or

stylesheet are very close or even equal to the timestamp of the

target). In this case you can set granularity to 0 to get back to

the behavior of 1.10.15.

Bugzilla Report 65756

* the <mail> task as well as MailLogger will now check the server

identity as specified by RFC 2595 when JavaMail is used in

combination with TLS (plain TLS or StartTLS).

The check can be disabled with a new MailLogger property

MailLogger.tls.checkserveridentity or a new <mail> task attribute

checkServerIdentity.

Bugzilla Report 69416

* Ant now recognizes Windows junctions and treats them just like

symbolic links in general. With this builds on Windows that use

followSymlinks="false" and rely on Ant following Windows junctions

will break. In order to get the old behavior you need to set

followSymlinks to true and exclude real symbolic links via the

<symlink> selector.

Bugzilla Report 66293

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* <scp> now properly handles IPv6 addresses as hostnames.

Bugzilla Report 59160

* javac task has been fixed to generate the "-classpath" option

only when there are any classpath elements present.

Bugzilla Report 69586

* URLResource#getName could strip the first character of a resource

path even if it was not a file separator.

Bugzilla Report 69680

* ant.bat now exits with a non-zero exit code if ANT_HOME is not set.

Github Pull Request #222

* A regression in ftp task caused some files to not be downloaded.

That has been fixed now.

Bugzilla Report 69485

Other changes:

--------------

* Ant will no longer set a java.lang.SecurityManager at runtime

if the "java.security.manager" system property is set to

"disallow".

Github Pull Request #216

* <mail> and MailLogger can now enforce the use of STARTLS rather

than silently fall back to unencrypted authentication via a new

MailLogger property and a new <mail> task attribute.

Bugzilla Report 69416

* added a Windows specific <mklink> task that can be used to create

hard links, symbolic links and junctions.

* added <delete link="..."> that can be used delete symbolic links or

Windows junctions. For symbolic links this duplicates what

<symlink action="delete" ...> does - it has been introduced to

handle symlinks and junctions via a single API.

* added <canCreateSymlink> condition that evaluates to true if the

current Ant process can create symbolic links.

* added <windowsjunction> file selector which only selects directories

that are Windows junctions.

* added a new actOnLinkTargets attribute to <setpermissions> to

control whether the permissions apply to a symbolic link or Windows

junction or the target of the respective links. The old behavior

of changing the link's target remains as default.

* a new combination of attributes allows <sshexec> to mask sensitive

data specified for the command line to execute.

Github Pull Request #124

Changes from Ant 1.10.14 TO Ant 1.10.15

=======================================

Other changes:

--------------

* exec task now logs the process' non-zero exit code at INFO

level instead of the previous ERROR level. The following

message from exec task is the one who's level has been changed:

Result: 1

Bugzilla Report 26453

* Removes direct references to com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider class

from the mail task, since that internal JDK class is no longer available

in recent versions of Java.

Bugzilla Report 68460

* <replaceregexp> has a new failOnError attribute which, when

enabled, makes the task throw a BuildException for certain error

cases that will only be logged otherwise.

Github Pull Request #206

* <ftp> task now has a new "useSecureDataChannel" attribute which

can be set to true, when ftps is enabled, to enable secure data

channel.

Bugzilla Report 68773

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* Fixes an regression, introduced in Ant 1.10.13, where pathconvert

would unintentionally trim the string output.

Bugzilla Report 67082

* Fixes a bug in <depend> task which would throw a ClassFormatError

if it encountered constant pool entry type 17.

Bugzilla Report 66552

* Launching ant.bat from within a Java program using java.lang.Runtime.exec()

could result in an unexpected failure. This has now been fixed.

Bugzilla Report 67417

* Fixes an issue in bootstrap.bat when trying to detect if the "javac"

command in the JDK supports the "--release" option.

Github Pull Request #205

* Fixes a bug in org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.email.EmailAddress which

would throw a java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if the email

address passed to its constructor was an empty String.

Bugzilla Report 68462

* legacy-xml reporter of junitlauncher task was using a non-buffered

outputstream when generating the report. This introduces severe

performance penalties since the writes translate to native write

system calls. This has been fixed to use a BufferedOutputStream.

Github Pull Request #207

Changes from Ant 1.10.13 TO Ant 1.10.14

=======================================

Changes that could break older environments:

-------------------------------------------

* Resource#compareTo now invokes getName rather than toString as the

later may be costly (for example in the case of a StringResource).

Bugzilla Report 66496

* When using Java 18 or higher, Ant will no longer use Java SecurityManager

because it has been deprecated for removal and by default is disallowed

to be set at runtime https://openjdk.org/jeps/411.

This will mean that the "<permissions>" type is no longer functional when

using Java 18 or higher.

Furthermore, when using Java 18 or higher, if the build executes

tasks that call "java.lang.System.exit()" and if those tasks aren't

running in a forked VM of their own, then such tasks will now kill

the entire Ant build process. It is recommended that such tasks be

updated to launch in a forked JVM so that the System.exit() call

will not impact the JVM in which Ant process runs.

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* log only the stylesheet name in the xslt task.

Github Pull Request #199

* junitlauncher task's "test" and "listener" elements which take

a "outputDir" property were incorrectly resolving the outputDir

against the current working directory instead of the project's

basedir. This has now been fixed.

Bugzilla Report 66504

* regexmapper would, in some cases, incorrectly consume backslash characters

from the "to" attribute, resulting in missing backslashes in the output.

This is now fixed.

Bugzilla Report 66468

* <fixcrlf>, <replace> and <replaceregexp> now try to preserve the

file permissions of the files they modify.

Bugzilla Report 66522

* junitlauncher task would fail if a forked test timed out even

if haltOnFailure was set to false. This is now fixed.

Bugzilla Report 66411

* fixes a bug in org.apache.tools.zip.ZipOutputStream where, even

when "zip64Mode" is set to "always", ZipOutputStream may not create

a CEN extra field data for the entry.

Bugzilla Report 66873

* legacy-xml listener of junitlauncher task wouldn't report certain

failures involving junit jupiter dynamic tests. This has now been

fixed.

Github Pull Request #122

* allow.class which was introduced in Ant 1.10.13 release, has been

removed from this 1.10.14 release. This class was introduced in

context of the SecurityManager changes in Ant 1.10.13, which have

now been reverted in Ant 1.10.14, since they caused several

regressions.

Bugzilla Reports 66828, 66951

Other changes:

--------------

* <fork> element of the junitlauncher task now has a new optional "java"

attribute which can be used to point to a different Java installation

for runnning the forked tests.

Bugzilla Report 66464

* made sure <echoproperties> sorts the echoed properties on JDK9+ as well.

Bugzilla Report 66588

* org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Recorder class now introduces a

setLogLevel(LogLevel level) method.

Bugzilla Report 66238

* The <fork> element of junitlaunchertask now allows a "forkMode"

attribute. forkMode=perTestClass can now be used to launch

each test class in a separate forked JVM.

Bugzilla Report 65176

Changes from Ant 1.10.12 TO Ant 1.10.13

=======================================

Changes that could break older environments:

-------------------------------------------

* <get> has a new attribute authenticateOnRedirect that can be used to

prevent Ant from sending the configured credentials when following a

redirect. It is false by default, which means builds that rely on

credentials being used on the redirected URI may break.

Github Pull Request #173

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* the PropertyEnumerator change introduced in 1.10.9 proved to be not

fully backwards compatible when combined with certain custom

PropertyHelper implementations - for example when using AntXtras.

Bugzilla Report 65799

* legacy-xml reporter of the junitlauncher task now escapes ]]> when writing CDATA.

Bugzilla Report 65833

* <scp> may leak connections when trying to preserve the last modified

timestamps of files transferred recursively from a server.

Bugzilla Report 66001

* tstamp task would in certain cases parse the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable

value to an incorrect date. This has now been fixed.

Github Pull Request #186

* fetch.xml didn't set up non-default repositories properly and thus

failed to download JAI.

Github Pull Request #191

* When building and installing Ant distribution from source, the build script

would change permissions on unrelated files in the destination directory.

This is now fixed and such unrelated files in the destination directory

will be left untouched.

Bugzilla Report 66164

* parsing tar entries with multiple NUL bytes in their name would

include garbage bytes as the name included all bytes up to the last

NUL rather than the first.

Github Pull Request #194

* loadresource might log warnings even though quiet was set to true

Bugzilla Report 65647

* javac task would add paths constructs containing wildcards to the

internally created argument file where wildcards are not allowed

Bugzilla Report 65621

Other changes:

--------------

* added an implementation of the MIME Mail sender based on the

repackaged Jakarta Mail package rather than javax Mail.

Github Pull Request #161

* The "listener" element in the junitlauncher task now supports

an "extension" attribute to control the filename extension

of the generated output file from the listener.

Github Pull Request #168

* <ftp> now supports FTPs.

Github Pull Request #170

* DirectoryScanner avoids listing directory contents when it known it

will never use the information retrieved. This may improve

performance in some special cases.

Bugzilla Report 66048

* <manifest> will now create the parent directory of the manifestFile

attribute if it doesn't exist.

Bugzilla Report 66231

* org.apache.tools.ant.BuildLogger now has a new method getMessageOutputLevel()

which returns the currently set message output level.

Changes from Ant 1.10.11 TO Ant 1.10.12

=======================================

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* The http condition would follow redirects even when "followRedirects" attribute

was set to "false". This has now been fixed.

Bugzilla Report 65489

* Made sure setting build.compiler to the fully qualified classname

that corresponds to extJavac or modern has the same effect as using

the shorter alias names.

Bugzilla Report 65539

* Prevent potential deadlocks in org.apache.tools.ant.IntrospectionHelper.

Bugzilla Report 65424

Other changes:

--------------

* The implementation of AntClassLoader#findResources() has been changed to optimize

it for potential performance issues, as those noted at

https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-22310?focusedCommentId=197405&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-197405

Github Pull Request #151

* AntClassLoader now implements the ClassLoader#findResource(String) method.

Github Pull Request #150

* Ant tries to avoid file name canonicalization when possible.

Bugzilla Report 65499

* javadoc task will now look for warning messages in the STDERR stream too

when "failonwarning" is set to true to account for changes in JDK 17+

* The tar task now preserves symlinks of nested tarfilesets.

Github Pull Request #142

Changes from Ant 1.10.10 TO Ant 1.10.11

=======================================

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* a race condition could lead to NullPointerExceptions when running

tasks in parallel.

Bugzilla Report 65316

* fixed potential OutOfMemory errors when reading broken archives

using the tar or zip formats or formats derived from zip.

Other changes:

--------------

* org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junitlauncher.confined.JUnitLauncherTask now

has a new protected createExecuteWatchdog() method for allowing it to be overriden.

Github Pull Request #147

* Upgraded AntUnit to 1.4.1.

Changes from Ant 1.10.9 TO Ant 1.10.10

======================================

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* SCP (with sftp=true) task would fail if fetching file located in root directory

Bugzilla Report 64742

* javac task would fail if the arguments file it (internally) created didn't quote

the # character. This has now been fixed.

Bugzilla Reports 64912, 64790

* made sure LegacyXmlResultFormatter encodes characters illegal in

XML the same way JUnit5's built-in formatter would.

Bugzilla Report 65030

* LegacyXmlResultFormatter no longer double-encodes <>& in system-err

and system-out

Bugzilla Report 63436

* Fixes a bug in junitlauncher task's legacy-xml formatter, where the testcase

representing a @Parameterized JUnit4 test wasn't being reported in the XML.

Bugzilla Report 64952

* Fixes a bug where the ant-testutil-sources.jar that gets published to Maven

central repository didn't contain any source files.

Bugzilla Report 65110

* The <http> condition didn't follow redirects from http to https.

Bugzilla Report 65105

* ZipOutputStream now overrides write(int) in order to make sure

single byte writes get the same treatment as array writes.

Github Pull Request #145

* Fixes a potential deadlock in junitlauncher task when using legacy-xml

reporter.

Bugzilla Report 64733

Other changes:

--------------

* javaversion condition now has a new "atmost" attribute. See the javaversion

manual for more details

* The "listener" nested element of the "junitlauncher" task now has a new

"useLegacyReportingName" attribute which can be used to control the test

identifiers names that get reported by the listener. See the junitlauncher

manual for more details.

Note that this change also introduces a new "setUseLegacyReportingName" method

on the org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junitlauncher.TestResultFormatter

interface. This will break backward compatibility with any of your custom

result formatters which implemented this interface and such implementations

are now expected to implement this new method.

* a new attribute preserveduplicates allows <resourcelist> to return

the same resource multiple times when set to true.

Bugzilla Report 64854

* a new attribute filterbeforeconcat in <concat> can be used to

decide whether the filterchain should be applied to the

concatenated content (the default) or each nested resource

individually before concatenating them.

Bugzilla Report 64855

* the ssh tasks now share a new nested element additionalConfig that

can be used to set config values for the jsch Session used by the

task.

Bugzilla Report 65089

* added new discardOutput and discardError properties to redirector

and the exec, apply and java tasks which can be used to completely

discard any (error) output. This is a platform independent

alternative to directiong output to any kind of null device.

* junitlauncher now prints a more useful and instantaneous summary of

tests being run, closely matching the junit task's summary.

Bugzilla Report 64836

Changes from Ant 1.10.8 TO Ant 1.10.9

=====================================

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* the ftp task could throw a NullPointerException if an error occured

Bugzilla Report 64438

* propertyset now also sees in-scope local properties

Bugzilla Report 50179

* replaced our version of ReaderInputStream with the battle-tested

version of Apache Commons IO as our version had problems with

surrogate pairs (and likely other edge cases as well).

Bugzilla Report 40455

* <fixcrlf> will no longer remove the temporary file it just created

before writing to it.

* <sshexec> and <scp> didn't deal with wildcard hostnames in ssh

config files properly.

Bugzilla Report 64530

Other changes:

--------------

* Ant will no longer log a warning if it doesn't find tools.jar

Bugzilla Report 63577

* the <jar> task accepts now a nested <indexjarsmapper> element

that can be used to perform custom filename transformations

for the <indexjars> archives.

Github Pull Request #134

* added a new PropertyEnumerator interface that extensions can

provide if they are managing properties unknown to the Ant project.

* added some special code to support GraalVM JavaScript as

javax.script scripting engine for JavaScript. In particular we

relax some security settings of GraalVM so that scripts can access

Ant objects.

Also Ant enables Nashorn compatibility mode by default, you can

disable that by setting the magic Ant property

ant.disable.graal.nashorn.compat to true.

See the script task manual for additional details.

* If the magic property ant.tmpdir hasn't been set and Ant can

control the permissions of directories it creates it will create an

owner-owned temporary directory unaccessible to others as default

tempdir as soon as a temporary file is created for the first time,

Changes from Ant 1.10.7 TO Ant 1.10.8

=====================================

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* "legacy-xml" formatter of junitlauncher task wasn't writing out

the stacktrace for failures. This is now fixed.

Bugzilla Report 63827

* sshexec failed to write output to a file if the file didn't exist

* Fixes a regression in javac task involving command line argument

files.

Bugzilla Report 63874

* sshexec, sshsession and scp now support a new sshConfig parameter.

It specified the SSH configuration file (typically ${user.home}/.ssh/config)

defining the username and keyfile to be used per host.

* "legacy-xml" formatter of junitlauncher task wasn't writing out

exceptions that happen in @BeforeAll method of a test. This is now fixed.

Bugzilla Report 63850

* Building Ant from source could result in the javadocs target failing if the

optional dependencies were missing. This has now been fixed.

Bugzilla Report 63438

* Fixes a potential ConcurrentModificationException in XMLLogger.

Bugzilla Report 63921

* Fixes a bug in junitlauncher task in forked mode, where if a listener element

was used as a sibling element for either the test or testclasses element,

then the forked mode launch would fail.

Bugzilla Report 63958

* Fixes an issue in AntStructure where an incorrect DTD was being generated.

Github Pull Request #116

* Fixes an incorrect variable name usage in junit-frames-xalan1.xsl.

Github Pull Request #117

Other changes:

--------------

* org.apache.tools.mail.MailMessage will now send a fully qualified

domain name in its HELO message.

Github Pull Request #101

* The runant.py script should now work with Python 3.

Github Pull Request #96

* tstamp task now honors SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable for

reproducible builds (https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/#idm55)

Bugzilla Report 62617

* rmic has been removed from Java 15. The task will now throw an

exception if you try to use it while running Java 15 or newer.

* a new property ant.tmpdir provides improved control over the

location Ant uses to create temporary files

Changes from Ant 1.10.6 TO Ant 1.10.7

=====================================

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* FTP still tries checking or entering directories after a timeout

Bugzilla Report 63454

* junitlauncher - does not detect failure in @BeforeAll

Bugzilla Report 63479

* Error using ant-1.10.6 with jdk8

Bugzilla Report 63457

* FTP task no longer duplicates a check for a file being a symlink.

Bugzilla Report 63259

* junitlauncher task, when used in fork mode with "<testclasses>",

used to create the wrong number of listeners per test class. This

has now been fixed.

Bugzilla Report 63446

* The "legacy-xml" junitlauncher task's listener would not include

@ParameterizedTest testcases in its XML report file. This has now

been fixed.

Bugzilla Report 63680

Other changes:

--------------

* FTP task timeout improvements.

Bugzilla Reports 63252 and 47414

* junitlauncher task now supports selecting test classes for execution,

based on the JUnit 5 tags, through the new "includeTags" and

"excludeTags" attributes.

* prefer https over http when building ant itself, and in the ant

documentation and sources

* changed the references and Maven coordinates of JavaMail dependency

to Jakarta Mail and thus javax.mail to jakarta.mail - and upgraded

the dependency to 1.6.3.

Changes from Ant 1.10.5 TO Ant 1.10.6

=====================================

Changes that could break older environments:

-------------------------------------------

* image task no longer works on Java 9+ because internal classes

supporting Java Advanced Imaging are removed; imageio task (based on

ImageIO and AWT) is provided as a replacement.

* junitlauncher task has changed the class names and package names of

the task as well as some of the supporting classes of that task. If

any code depended on these class or package names, they will have to

be updated to reference these newly named classes. This however,

doesn't impact build scripts if their reference to junitlauncher task

was merely through the use of the <junitlauncher> element.

* ClearCase#runS has been augmented by a two arg-version and the

one-arg version will no longer be called. This may affect

subclasses that have overridden runS.

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* fetch.xml must retrieve runtime rather than compile dependencies for

mail task.

Bugzilla Report 62621

* Fixes an issue in junitreport task, which used to throw a

java.net.MalformedURLException when saxon was used on Windows OS.

Bugzilla Report 62594

* augment task now throws a BuildException (as noted in its manual)

instead of a IllegalStateException in the absence of the "id" attribute.

Bugzilla Report 62655

* org.apache.tools.zip.ZipOutputStream would sometimes potentially use

an incorrect compression level for a zip entry. This is now fixed.

Bugzilla Report 62686

* sync task, in some cases on case insensitive file systems, would consider

a file in a destination directory to be orphaned and would delete it.

This task has now been fixed to infer the case sensitivity of the filesystem

of the destination directory.

Bugzilla Report 62890

* Fixes a potential java.util.ConcurrentModificationException in

org.apache.tools.ant.Project#getCopyOfReferences.

Github Pull Request #81

* cccheckout would ignore an error of the "ls checkout" command even

if failOnError was set to false.

Bugzilla Report 63071

* The isreachable condition could in some cases return true even if the

actual address could potentially be unreachable. This is now fixed

and the resolved address is actually checked for reachability.

* Fixes an issue where scp transfer completion tracking wasn't being

triggered for 100% completion.

Github Pull Request #91

Other changes:

--------------

* generatekey task now supports SubjectAlternativeName during key

generation.

* the <modified> selector has a new built-in algorithm 'lastmodified'

which computes a value based upon the lastmodified time of the file.

* junitlauncher task now supports running tests in a forked JVM. More

details available in the junitlauncher task manual.

* signjar and verifyjar now support the -providerName, -providerClass

and -providerArg command line options of keytool via new attributes.

Bugzilla Report 65234

* signjar and verifyjar now supported nested <arg> elements for

command line arguments that are not supported explicitly by the

tasks via attributes.

* added several attributes to <javadoc> that support modules.

Bugzilla Report 62424

* properties used or set by BuildFileTask/BuildFileRule are documented

in MagicTestNames. A new magic property, ant.test.basedir.ignore, is

introduced for cases where Ant projects set up for test purposes

must ignore basedir set externally by test harness.

* a new CharSet type is provided for encoding or charset attributes in

tasks that must deal with different character encodings in files,

file names and other string resources.

* org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader is now multi-release jar aware.

Starting Java 9, jar files can be packaged as multi-release jars,

AntClassLoader now recognizes such multi-release jar files while

loading resources at runtime in Java 9+ runtime environments.

Bugzilla Report 62952

* Added jmod and link tasks, to support jmod and jlink tools of JDK 9+.

Github Pull Request #80

* Jsch library dependency has now been upgraded to 0.1.55. Jsch is

the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.

Github Pull Request #84

* The "http" condition, now has a "readTimeout" attribute which can be

used to control the amount of time to wait for the read to complete.

Bugzilla Report 63193

* ftp task manual has been updated to mention that the remote listing of

files honours the followsymlinks attribute.

Bugzilla Report 63226

Changes from Ant 1.10.4 TO Ant 1.10.5

=====================================

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 from Ant 1.10.3 TO Ant 1.10.4

=====================================

Changes that could break older environments:

-------------------------------------------

* <unzip>, <unjar> and <untar> will no longer extract entries whose

names would make the created files be placed outside of the

destination directory anymore by default. A new attribute

allowFilesToEscapeDest can be used to override the behavior.

Another special case is when stripAbsolutePathSpec is false (which

no longer is the default) and the entry's name starts with a

(back)slash and allowFilesToEscapeDest hasn't been specified

explicitly, in this case the file may be created outside of the

dest directory as well.

In addition stripAbsolutePathSpec is now true by default.

Based on a recommendation by the Snyk Security Research Team.

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* Delay the class initialization of the test classes until they are

passed to JUnit. This way we can avoid that failing static initializers

from non-test classes are reported as error when the 'skipNonTests' option

is 'true'.

Bugzilla Report 60062

* The junit task when used with includeantruntime="no" was incorrectly

printing a warning about multiple versions of ant detected in path

* <cab> died with a NullPointerException since Ant 1.10.2.

Bugzilla Report 62335

* The <depend> task would fail with

"java.lang.ClassFormatError: Invalid Constant Pool entry Type 19" while

parsing a module-info.class. The task is compatible with

Java bytecode version 53 now.

Bug reported by Simon IJskes https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-781

* Default and SecureInputHandler will now raise an error when then

end of the input stream (usually System.in or System.console) are

reached before a valid input has been read.

* junitreport does not list testsuites that fail to start any tests

because of an exception inside the all-tests and alltests-errors frames.

Bugzilla Report 62443

Other changes:

--------------

* AntAssert is deprecated, assertThat from JUnit 4.4+, Hamcrest matchers and/or

ExpectedException rule provide equivalent functionality

* PumpStreamHandler now explicitly verifies the streams for output

and error are not null and will throw an exception if they

are. This way creating a PumpStreamHandler will fail early as

opposed to some obscure errors later when closing streams or

finishing threads might fail.

Bugzilla Report 62148

* <property> has a new attribute runtime which can be used to set

properties with values taken as snapshots from the

availableProcessors, freeMemory, maxMemory and totalMemory methods

of the Java Runtime class.

* linecontains filter now has a new "matchAny" attribute which when

set to "true" allows any (instead of all) of the user-specified

strings to be present in the line.

Bugzilla Report 62313

* <resourcelist> has a new basedir attribute that can be used to

resolve relative names and provides a root for the FileResources

generated.

Bugzilla Report 62379

* The <includesfile> and <excludesfile> nested elements of

<patternset> and <fileset> now support an encoding attribute that

can be used to specify the file's encoding.

Bugzilla Report 62379

* New file selectors, posixGroup and posixPermissions, are available.

The new selectors and related ownedBy selector have "followSymlinks"

attribute that defaults to "true" for consistency.

* The junitlauncher task now has a "printSummary" attribute which when

set to "true" will print the test execution summary to System.out.

Changes from Ant 1.10.2 TO Ant 1.10.3

=====================================

Changes that could break older environments:

-------------------------------------------

* Previous versions of Ant's copy task would throw a BuildException

if the "name" of the resource to copy was null. Starting

this version, the copy task instead silently skips such resources

and no longer throws an exception.

ant-dev list https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg46634.html

* Reverted the signature change of various clone method

implementation in Ant's data-types introduced with 1.10.2 as they

broke subclasses of said data-types which tried to override clone.

Fixed bugs:

-----------

* Fixed NullPointerException in ChainedMapper

Bugzilla Report 62086

* Fixed NullPointerException when a mappedresource is used in pathconvert

Bugzilla Report 62076

* Fixed an issue where a string, when used as a resource collection, within

tokens, would be replaced by property values

Bugzilla Report 62147

* Added a workaround for a bug in the jarsigner tool to <verifyjar>

which requires the -storepass command line argument when verifying

signatures using -strict together with a PKCS12 keystore. Unlike

when signing the jar it will not prompt for the keystore's password

and read it from standard input.

This means Ant will now pass the keystore's password on the command

line when using <verifyjar>, which poses a security risk you should

be aware of.

Bugzilla Report 62194

Other changes:

--------------

* Allow Saxon to be used for junitreport XSL transformation

Github Pull Request #57

* when running on Java 11+ rmic will fail early if iiop or idl are

requested. Java 11 removes support for CORBA and the switches have

been removed from the rmic tool.

* A new junitlauncher task which support JUnit 5 test framework.

Bugzilla Report 61796

Changes from Ant 1.10.1 TO Ant 1.10.2

=====================================

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:

<delete file="/foo/bar/*.something"/>

should instead be changed to use resource collections like:

<delete>

<fileset dir="/foo/bar/" includes="*.something"/>

</delete>

* 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:

-----------

* <genkey>'s <dname> child now skips <param>s that lack a key or

value.

Bugzilla Report 60767

* bootstrapping Ant on Windows failed

Bugzilla Report 61027

* Fixed the issue where the SCP based tasks would try to change

the permissions on the parent directory of a transferred file,

instead of changing it on the transferred file itself.

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.

Bugzilla Report 58683

* Improvement to the Zip task for reduced memory usage in certain

cases. Thanks to Glen Lewis for reporting the issue and

suggesting the fix.

Bugzilla Report 19516

* Fixed an issue where the content redirected from output/error

streams of a process, could end up being truncated.

Bugzilla Report 58833, 58451

* <fileset>/<zipfileset>/<tarfileset> will now throw an exception

with a more useful error message when setFile is called twice on

the same instance.
