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.
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
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
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.
Bugzilla Report 22370
* 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/dev@ant.apache.org/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

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.

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.

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

Changes from Ant 1.10.0 TO Ant 1.10.1
=====================================
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* Ant 1.10.0 made Path#systemClasspath final which broke the Eclipse
integration.
Bugzilla Report 60582
* the wrapper script still didn't work on Solaris 10, but worked on
Solaris 11.
The "fixed" script should work in most cases but will not preserve
newlines present in command line arguments.
Bugzilla Report 60562
Other changes:
--------------
* new tasks <xz> and <unxz> and resource <xzresource> for XZ
compression. Also the compression attribute of <tar>/<untar> now
accepts "xz" as valid value.
The tasks and type are contained in the new ant-xz.jar and require
the library XZ for Java to be on the CLASSPATH.
Bugzilla Report 60350
Changes from Ant 1.9.7 TO Ant 1.10.0
====================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* Ant 1.10.x requires Java8 or newer at compile or build time.
The 1.9.x series wil stay compatible with Java5.
* The <apt> task has been removed since apt itself has been removed
with Java8.
* <fileset>/<zipfileset>/<tarfileset> exhibited undefined
behavior when both the dir and file attribute have been used on the
same instance. This will now cause the build to fail.
Bugzilla Report 59402
* <native2ascii> will default to the builtin implementation on Java8
as well (sun isn't available for Java9+ anyway).
* The ant.java.version property will now hold the value "9" rather
than "1.9" if running on Java 9.
* <rmic> will no longer allow the -Xnew option (or xmic compiler) to
be used when running on Java 9 since this option has been removed.
Bugzilla Report 59906
* <javah> will default to the "forking" implementation on Java8
as well.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* setDynamicAttribute on MacroInstance now lower-cases the attribute
name in order to allow users of the API to use the attributes names
they have specified.
Bugzilla Report 59339
* <get>'s quiet attribute was broken, it didn't suppress any messages.
Bugzilla Report 59379
* <zip>'s check whether an archive is already up-to-date failed on
NTFS filesystems and re-created archives more often than necessary.
Bugzilla Report 59562
* AntClassLoader didn't delegate to the parent loader for classes in
the "jdk" package or one of its subpackages. This hierarchy has
been introduced with Java 7.
Bugzilla Report 59556
* The ant wrapper script used on Unix-like operating systems only
worked on OSes where sed is GNU sed.
Bugzilla Report 59898
* <touch>'s default pattern as well as the default patterns used by
the <date> (resource) selectors depended on the JDK being used - or
rather the locale provider being used and the default locale
provider changed with Java 9.
They are now fixed and the documentation has been updated to
reflect the real patterns used rather than a non-formal description
of the expected format.
Bugzilla Report 59909
* Clarified the documentation of <get>'s retries attribute.
Bugzilla Report 59930
* The ant wrapper script failed if backticks were passed on the
command line.

Bugzilla Report 47552
* <junit> now supports JDK9 modules
Github Pull Request #18
* a new implementation "builtin" has been added to <native2ascii> and
is the default when running on JDK9+ since the tool itself has been
removed from the JDK.
Bugzilla Report 59855
* added a new <native2asciifilter> filter that can perform non-ASCII
to Unicode-escape conversions.
* <rmic> defaults to the "forking" compiler on JDK 9+ as the
implementation class of rmic is not exported by its containing
module and thus not accessible to Ant without applying -XaddExports
magic.
Bugzilla Report 59860
* a new implementation "forking" has been added to <javah> and is
used as default when running on JDK9.
* support for javac's -h switch has been added with the
nativeheaderdir attribute.
Bugzilla Report 59905
* it is now possible to set features of the TraX factory used by <xslt>

* it is now possible to use references to Ant types and classloaders
built around Ant <path>s as values for TraX factory attributes.
* AntClassLoader and its subclasses register themselves as parallel

* support for javac's --release switch introduced with Java9 has been
added.
Bugzilla Report 60172
Changes from Ant 1.9.6 TO Ant 1.9.7
===================================
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>

addition to filesets.
Bugzilla Report 50769
* The <http> condition has a new optional attribute followRedirects.
Bugzilla Report 58840

Bugzilla Report 59162
Changes from Ant 1.9.5 TO Ant 1.9.6
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when ZIP extra fields are read and
the entry contains an UnparseableExtraField.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-317
Other changes:
--------------
* Hidden <javaconstant> resource is published now. It reads the
value of a specified java constant.
Changes from Ant 1.9.4 TO Ant 1.9.5
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* The ReplaceTokens filter can now use token-separators longer than
one character. This means it can be used to replace mustache-style
{{patterns}} and similar templates. This is going to break code
that invokes the setters on ReplaceTokens via the Java API as their
parameters have been changed from char to String. It may also
break build files that specified multi character tokens and relied
on Ant silently ignoring all but the first character.
Bugzilla Report 56584
* The changes that added <get>'s support for gzip encoding
automatically uncompressed content that would not have been touched
before - like when downloading .tar.gz files. A new flag has been
added to control the behavior and its default will make <get> work
as it did in 1.9.3. I.e. if you want it to work like 1.9.4
you have to explicitly set tryGzipEncoding to true.
Bugzilla Report 57048
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* TarArchiveInputStream failed to read archives with empty gid/uid
fields.
Bugzilla Report 56641
* TarArchiveInputStream could throw IOException when reading PAX
headers from a "slow" InputStream.
* XMLJunitResultFormatter could throw NullPointerException if Java
cannot determine the local hostname.
Bugzilla Report 56593
* URLResource#getLastModified tried to access the connection to the
URL without making sure it was established, potentially leading to
a NullPointerException when using FTP.
Bugzilla Report 56873
* Long-Name and -link or PAX-header entries in TAR archives
always had the current time as last modfication time, creating
archives that are different at the byte level each time an
archive was built.
* runant.py should now work as well when the path of the Java executable
contains spaces.
github pull request #1
* <junitreport> now supports nested <classpath> and <factory> elements.
Bugzilla Report 47002
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also knows about the -file option.
Bugzilla Report 57371
* the br-replace template inside the XSLT stylesheets used by
<junitreport> could cause stack overflows or out-of-memory errors
when applied to big outputs.
Bugzilla Report 57341
* removed spurious warning about unclosed ZipFiles when reading the
archive failed.
Port of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-297
* FileUtils.rename which is used by several tasks can throw a
NullPointerException if the "normal" renameTo operation fails and
an exception occurs while rename falls back to copying and deleting
the file.
Bugzilla Report 57533
* complete-ant-cmd.pl would incorrectly suggest words from the build
file description.
Bugzilla Report 51931
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also completes tasks without a description.
Bugzilla Report 57542
* LocalPropertyStack could run into ConcurrentModificationException
when tasks spawned new child threads that accessed the properties.
Bugzilla Report 55074
* TarEntry's constructor with a File and a String arg didn't
normalize the name.
* Between 1.8.4 and 1.9.0 TarInputStream started to parse file
names using the platform's default encoding rather than as ASCII.
This has been a breaking change that has never been marked as such
(in fact it went unnoticed). In order to allow <untar> and
<tarfileset> to work on platforms who's encoding doesn't match the
encoding of file names inside the archive, both now support
encoding attributes.
The attribute has also been added to <tar> for symmetry.
Bugzilla Report 57822

* it is now possible to provide proxy configuration to signjar
when using the timestamped authority.
Bugzilla Report 56678
* complete-ant-cmd.pl now also analyzes the ANT_ARGS environment
variable.
Bugzilla Report 57371

* New <allbutlast> and <allbutfirst> resource collections can be used
to select all but a given subset of a resource collection.
Bugzilla Report 57834.
Changes from Ant 1.9.3 TO Ant 1.9.4
===================================
Changes that could break older environments:
-------------------------------------------
* the prefixValues attribute of <property> didn't work as expected
when set to false (the default).
It is quite likely existing build files relied on the wrong
behavior and expect Ant to resolve the value side against the
properties defined in the property file itself - these build files
must now explicitly set the prefixValues attribute to true.
Bugzilla Report 54769
* when matching an entry of a zip/tarfileset against a pattern a
leading slash will be stripped from the entry name. Most archives
don't contain paths with leading slashes anyway.
This may cause include/exclude patterns that start with a / to stop
matching anything. Such patterns only used to work by accident and
only on platforms with multiple file system roots.
Bugzilla Report 53949
* DirectoryScanner and thus fileset/dirset will now silently drop all
filesystem objects that are neither files nor directories according
to java.io.File. This prevents Ant from reading named pipes which
might lead to blocking or other undefined behavior.
Bugzilla Report 56149
* BuildFileTest and BaseSelectorTest have both been deprecated in
favour of BuildFileRule and BaseSelectorRule respectively, and the
tests that previously extended these base tests have been converted to
JUnit 4 tests using the new "rule"s. Any external test that sub-classed
a test in the Ant workspace, rather than BuildFileTest, will need
changed to either use JUnit4's annotations, or be modified to
extend BuildFileTest directly. This will not affect any tests that are
being executed by Ant's junit or batchtest tasks that are not specifically
testing Ant's code.
Fixed bugs:
-----------
* <import>/<include> failed when the importing file was loaded from an
URI or a jar and it imported a file from the local file system via
an absolute path.
Bugzilla Report 50953
* <import> could import the same resource twice when imported via

Bugzilla Report 54672
* several places where resources are read from jars will now
explicitly disable caching to avoid problems with reloading jars.
Bugzilla Report 54473
* AntClassloader will now ignore files that are part of the classpath
but not zip files when scanning for resources. It used to throw an

Bugzilla Report 53964
* <javadoc> caused a NullPointerException when no destdir was set.
Bugzilla Report 55949
* <jar filesetmanifest="mergewithoutmain"> would still include the

manifest or manifest attribute.
Bugzilla Report 54171
* reading of compiler args has become more defensive
Bugzilla Report 53754
* <copy> without force="true" would not only fail to overwrite a
read-only file as expected but also remove the existing file.
Bugzilla Report 53095
* <delete removeNotFollowedSymlinks="true"> would remove symbolic
links to not-included files. It will still delete symlinks to
directories that would have been followed even if they are not
explicitly included. exclude-Patterns can still be used to
preserve symbolic links.
Bugzilla Report 53959
* Sometimes copy-operations using NIO FileChannels fail. Ant will
now try to use a Stream based copy operation as fallback when the
Channel based copy fails.
Bugzilla Reports 53102 and 54397
