"Apache Ant 1.8.0RC1 is the best available version"

Oddly, they say it WAS released on 2010-01-12.

It is odd for them to recommend the RC as the best version.

Maybe the website is in transition.

the last release was 2008-06-27, so this is a major event.

They don't have the downloads propagated to their mirrors yet.

I don't think they are too serious about this. The documentation link
still points to the 1.7.1 manual.

Things move slowly in ANT land. They are still featuring a conference
coming soon in 2009 November.
