Gant 1.6.0 has been released.

This is really a single change release – Gant now supports build listeners, thanks to Graeme Rocher – but there are a couple of minor bug fixes as well. The main version of Groovy used is 1.6-RC-2, though there are version for 1.5.7 and Trunk as of yesterday (labelled 1.7-beta-1). Also Gant now uses Ivy 2.0.0 and not a release candidate!

This is the version of Gant that will be used in Grails 1.1 -- unless some bugs are found in the next few days, in which case it a Gant 1.6.1 will appear :-)

Gant can be found at http://gant.codehaus.org.

There are now rather a lot of these, too many to sensibly list individually here. To go to a list of PDF files of the presentations, click here. Hopefully the names of the files tell you the information needed about when, and the context in which, the presentation was given. If you have any questions, email me.
