<li>&lt;import&gt; can now import from any file- or URL-providing resource -
this includes &lt;javaresource&gt;.
This means &lt;import&gt; can read build file snippets from JARs or fixed server URLs.
There are several other improvements in the area of import.</li>
<li>Various improvements to the directory scanning code that help with symbolic link
cycles (as can be found on MacOS X Java installations for example) and improve
scanning performance. For big directory trees the improvement is

<li>The way developers can extend Ant's property expansion algorithm has been rewritten
(breaking the older API) to be easier to use and be more powerful.
The whole local properties mechanism is implemented using that API and could be
implemented in a separate library without changes in Ant's core.
Things like the yet-to-be-released props Antlib can now provide often required
"scripty" fuctions without touching Ant itself.
At the same time the if and unless attributes have been rewritten to do the expected
thing if applied to a property expansion (i.e. if="${foo}" will mean "yes, do it"
if ${foo} expands to true, in Ant 1.7.1 it would mean "no" unless a property named
"true" existed). This adds "testing conditions" as a new use-case to property
expansion.</li>
<li>A new top-level element &lt;extension-point&gt; assists in writing re-usable
build files that are meant to be imported. &lt;extension-point&gt; has a name
and a dependency-list like &lt;target&gt; and can be used like a &lt;target&gt;
from the command line or a dependency-list but the importing build file can add
targets to the &lt;extension-point&gt;'s depends list. </li>

<li>&lt;import&gt; can now import from any file- or URL-providing resource -
this includes &lt;javaresource&gt;.
This means &lt;import&gt; can read build file snippets from JARs or fixed server URLs.

<li>The way developers can extend Ant's property expansion algorithm has been rewritten
(breaking the older API) to be easier to use and be more powerful.
The whole local properties mechanism is implemented using that API and could be
implemented in a separate library without changes in Ant's core.
Things like the yet-to-be-released props Antlib can now provide often required
"scripty" fuctions without touching Ant itself.
At the same time the if and unless attributes have been rewritten to do the expected
thing if applied to a property expansion (i.e. if="${foo}" will mean "yes, do it"
if ${foo} expands to true, in Ant 1.7.1 it would mean "no" unless a property named
"true" existed). This adds "testing conditions" as a new use-case to property
expansion.</li>
<li>A new top-level element &lt;extension-point&gt; assists in writing re-usable
build files that are meant to be imported. &lt;extension-point&gt; has a name
and a dependency-list like &lt;target&gt; and can be used like a &lt;target&gt;
from the command line or a dependency-list but the importing build file can add
targets to the &lt;extension-point&gt;'s depends list. </li>
