Apache Ant 1.9.16 and 1.10.11 Released – Key Changes and Security Fixes
Apache Ant has released versions 1.9.16 and 1.10.11, with 1.9.x focusing on bug fixes for Java 5+ environments and 1.10.x adding new features for Java 8+, both addressing a potential denial‑of‑service vulnerability and including updates such as AntUnit 1.4.1 and fixes for parallel task NPEs, OutOfMemory errors, and Maven Central packaging.
Apache Ant 1.9.16 and 1.10.11 have been released, representing the two actively maintained branches: 1.9.x (requiring Java 5+) and 1.10.x (requiring Java 8+). The 1.9.x line mainly provides bug fixes, while the 1.10.x line adds new features, both built on Ant 1.9.7.
Both releases fix a potential denial‑of‑service vulnerability; details are available at https://ant.apache.org/security.html .
