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
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.

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.

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:
-----------

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.

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

* 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.
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
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.

Github Pull Request #36
* Jsch library dependency has now been upgraded to 0.1.54. Jsch is
the library behind the sshexec and scp Ant tasks.
Bugzilla Report 61718
* Added a new <javaversion> condition.
* added "javac10+" as new supported value for javac's compiler attribute.
* javah has been removed from Java 10. The task will now throw an
exception if you try to use it while running Java 10 or newer.
* Updated Maven Ant Tasks, Jakarta Regexp and JUnit 4 to the latest
stable version (2.1.3, 1.4, and 4.12 respectively); updated
JRuby to the latest Java 5 compatible version (1.6.8); added
resolve target for AntUnit to facilitate updates.

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.
