This is release 1.2 of Ant. It is available in both binary and source
distributions.
The binary distribution doesn't contain the optional tasks - compiled
versions of those are distributed in a separate file: optional.jar.
Placing this file in the $ANT_HOME/lib directory will make those tasks
available.
To build ant from the source distribution, please use the bootstrap
scripts provided. It is not possible to use Ant 1.1 to build from the
source distribution.
The changes from Release 1.1 to this release are detailed below. This
information is included in the distributions in the file WHATSNEW
Thank you for using Ant.
