https://github.com/apache/ant/blob/master/WHATSNEW Talk of cutting a new release has started.
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.

We have a mojor bug with Apache Ant 1.10.2 release https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62086 Bug 62086 - NullPointerException in ChainedMapper.mapFileName when building Lucene with Ant 1.10.2 Need to see when are they cutting 1.10.3
Moving to M7 in the wait of 1.10.3 release.
Ant 1.10.3 is released. 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. Java11 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

Thanks Ronald! When can we hope to get the new Orbit build?

Whoops, the more ideal url would be : http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/I20180411145523/repository
I downloaded org.apache.ant_1.10.3.v20180410-1723.jar Found these differences from org.apache.ant_1.10.1.v20170504-0840 1. We have etc folder missing in 1.10.3 jar 2. We have bin folder missing in 1.10.3 jar 3. I need to update about.html for junitlauncher jar.

With respect to 1 & 2, between patchset 5 and 6 ( https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/117233/5..6 ) they were removed from the resources folder, which is the mechanism used to ensure they end up in the final jar. I thought it was intentional but they can easily be restored.

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/I20180417184143/ contains the latest ant jar. Looks fine, in Manifest I see added minimum version info for some plugins but that should be ok I think.
Available with I20180423-0655. Test failure fixed.
