With Groovy 1.6.5 being released, it seemed time to
release Gant 1.8.0, so it happened :-)
The main thing about this release of Gant is the new pre- and post-target hooks, see http://gant.codehaus.org/Per-Target+Hooks. There are also a some bug fixes. And of course it uses Groovy 1.6.5.
Pre-packaged versions are documented at http://gant.codehaus.org/Prepackaged+Distributions.

The list of these is maintained on a separate page which can be browsed by clicking here.
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.
