Changelog

All notable changes to clj-ant are tracked here. The project has not cut a public versioned release yet; entries under Unreleased will become the first alpha release notes.

This file follows the Keep a Changelog format.

Unreleased

Added

• Generated wrapper docstrings and metadata from the bundled Ant manual, including task/type descriptions, attribute prose, required markers, and manual URLs.
• REPL and tooling introspection with clj-ant.core/describe, plus lint and explain for non-executing tree validation and typo suggestions.
• Babashka pod introspection helpers for describe, lint, and explain.
• to-xml for compact XML rendering of normal clj-ant element trees, pairing with from-xml for build-file migration workflows.
• GitHub CI and release automation for testing, jar building, and tag-driven Clojars deployment.

Changed

• Updated the bundled Ant manual to match the 1.10.17 Ant dependencies.
• Enriched validation with manual metadata while preserving Ant runtime introspection as the source of supported attributes and nested tags.
• Cached describe introspection results to avoid rebuilding Ant project/helper metadata on repeated calls.

Fixed

• from-xml preserves build-file directory context so relative Ant paths resolve like Ant's own build.xml loader.
• Validation handles context-sensitive nested tags such as attribute under macrodef versus manifest.
• Project/session cleanup avoids leaking synthetic references, listeners, or transient inline task registrations across repeated builds.
