Today we've released the first and hopefully only beta of Ant 1.6.2.

This release is not only a bug fix release, but also adds some features that a couple of people I know have been waiting for. To name a few:

• <junit>'s new forkmode attribute
• <style> supports a nested <mapper>
• <junitreport> works with JDK 1.5
• <jspc> is supposed to work with Tomcat 5.x although we highly recommend to use Tomcat's own version instead.
• XML namespace aware DynamicConfigurator variation
• An easier to understand handling of namespaces and nested elements of task.
• A <nice> task
• <jar> can index archives that are mentioned in the current archive's manifest in addition to the current archive.
• Composite and chained <mapper>s

and really a lot more. See release notes http://cvs.apache.org/dist/ant/v1.6.2beta1/.
