<p>Key features of the 1.8.0 release are</p>
<ul>
<li>a new top level element extension-point allows build files to be
extended with custom targets more easily</li>
<li>if and unless attributes will be evaluated according to the values of the properties entered
if these properties evaluate to true, false, on, off</li>
<li>Lexically scoped local properties, i.e. properties that are only defined inside a target,
sequential block or similar environment. This is very useful inside
of &lt;macrodef&gt;s where a macro can now define a temporary property
that will disappear once the task has finished.</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.
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
<a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-dev/200809.mbox/%3Cy1u4p48li29.fsf@v30161.1blu.de%3E">dramatic</a>.</li>
<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>Ant now requires Java 1.4 or later</li>
<li>new task include provides an alternative to &lt;import&gt; that
should be preferred when you don't want to override any targets</li>

<section name="Ant 1.8.0">
<h3>February 5, 2010 - Ant 1.8.0 Available</h3>
<p>
Apache Ant 1.8.0RC1 is now available for
Apache Ant 1.8.0 is now available for
<a href="http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi">download</a>
.
</p>
<ul>
<li>a new top level element extension-point allows build files to be
<li>Lexically scoped local properties, i.e. properties that are only
defined inside a target,
sequential block or similar environment.</li>
<li>&lt;import&gt; can now import from any file- or URL-providing resource -
this includes &lt;javaresource&gt;.</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
<a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ant-dev/200809.mbox/%3Cy1u4p48li29.fsf@v30161.1blu.de%3E">dramatic</a>.</li>
<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.
</li>
<li>a new top level element extension-point allows build files to be
extended with custom targets more easily</li>
<li>if and unless attributes will be evaluated according to the
values of the properties entered
if these properties evaluate to true, false, on, off</li>
<li>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>Ant now requires Java 1.4 or later</li>
<li>new task include provides an alternative to &lt;import> that
should be preferred when you don't want to override any targets</li>
<li>numerous bug fixes and improvements as documented in Bugzilla
and in WHATSNEW</li>
</ul>
<p>While in open source projects a final release date strongly depends
on the free time of the volunteers/committers, the final release is
expected one to two months maximum after this RC. So Ant 1.8.0 is
expected between mid February and mid March 2010.</p>
