Our Rate of Change
JWare/AntXtras Svn4Ant (Svn4Ant) is refactored and extended as the need arises. In particular, as new versions of Subversion, SVNKit, and Ant are released, Svn4Ant will change to remain up-to-date and to take advantage of new features where feasible (and worth the effort). We will always update Svn4Ant to fix critical bugs or packaging issues as soon as possible.
Below we describe our (near) future plans generally. We estimate there will be two beta releases of Svn4Ant 1.2.0 before the final release; see details below. You can use the JWare/AntXtras Feature Requests Tracker to submit your own enhancement suggestions. We often reschedule features to the next major release if we decide there are enough new concepts and/or components for the release under construction. Items rescheduled in this manner have not fallen behind schedule per se, they’ve just been reprioritized with regards to the current release.
