The Apache Ant Team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Ant
1.9.7.
Version 1.9.7 is mostly a bug fix release but adds a few new features
like support for arbitrary filesyste resources in <scp> and initial
support for Java9 modules.
Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that helps building
software.
Source and binary distributions are available for download from the
Apache Ant download site:
http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi
When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file available
at the above location when downloading the release.
Changes in this version include:
Changes that could break older environments:
- -------------------------------------------
* <exec> and <apply> used to ignore the dir attribute if it was the
same as the current working directory. They now no longer do,
which changes the behavior for vmlauncher="false" which would have
used the project's basedir rather than the current working
directory in that case.
Bugzilla Report 58555
Fixed bugs:
- -----------
* ZipOutputStream could cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when
adding entries with comments. This never happens when using Ant as
a build tool but may affect users using Ant's zip package as a
library.
* <gunzip> and <bunzip2> didn't work for non-filesystem resources.
* <jar> ignored the zip64Mode attribute when creating manifest-only
jars. This resulted in jar files that couldn't be read by Java5.
Bugzilla Report 58428
* <untar> will now detect GNU tar longname/link records even if they
don't use the names used by GNU tar itself. star is known to
create archives of that kind.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-324
* <script> could fail to find javax.script on JDK9 with Jigsaw.
Bugzilla Report 58271
* <import> sometimes failed to normalize file names which could lead
to files getting imported twice which in turn could lead to targets
getting executed twice.
Bugzilla Report 58886
* TarInputStream now properly extraxt directory entries with a
non-zero size.
* <union> would drop file resources pointing to the same file but
using different names.
Bugzilla Report 57965
* <replace>'s result was undefined when using the replacefilterfile
attribute and some keys inside the properties files have been
substrings of other keys. Keys are now sorted by descending size.
Bugzilla Report 58997
* Ant fails to run when arguments contain double-quote character.
Bugzilla Report 58898
* Ant fails to run if ANT_HOME contains a double-quote character.
Bugzilla Report 58874
* Definer's way to parse URLs from classloader breaks with
recent Java 9 builds (b108).
Bugzilla Report 59130
* <ant> and <antcall> now preserve the ext status set by an <exit>
task.
Bugzilla Report 59228
Other changes:
- --------------
* <scp> now supports (filesystem-only) resource collections in
addition to filesets.
Bugzilla Report 50769
* The <http> condition has a new optional attribute followRedirects.
Bugzilla Report 58840
* <java> now supports Java9 modules.
https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/15
* <javac> now supports Java9 modules.
https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/16
* <sshexec> and <scp> have two new attributes serverAliveInterval and
serverAliveCountMax that can be used to keep a intermediaries from
closing idle connections.
