| Version | Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0.12 | 2015-09-30 | We now require Maven 3.0.5+ to build Rat, but as before we only require Maven 2.2.1+ if you want to use Rat in your own Maven projects. We've integrated Rat into the ASF Jenkins to ensure continuous builds with various JDK versions. |
| 0.11 | 2014-08-31 | * Rat stays at compiler level 1.5 to be more compliant with other Maven plugins, fixed build/CI environment to reflect and ensure that. * Fixed Javadoc warnings during build, upgraded Maven Plugin Plugin to avoid warnings in generated code (https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPLUGIN-237) |
| 0.10 | 2013-09-05 | The 0.10 version includes several bug fixes, most notably a fix for 0.9 performance issues. * Simpler binary archive * Updated dependencies and plugins * Fixed up generics and annotations |
| 0.9 | 2013-05-02 | * Improved documentation * Rat now requires Java5 at runtime * The Antlib contains a new matcher type that allows matching on the full text of the license rather than a single line. * Support automatic addition of license headers to svg files. |
| 0.8-incubating | 2011-11-15 | Version 0.8 improves the command line interface, supports more file types when adding license headers and makes it easier to detect custom licenses. Some website fixes The Antlib and Maven plugins now provide simpler ways to detect licenses not directly supported by Rat. |
| 0.7-incubating | 2013-05-02 | The following changes have been made in Apache RAT 0.7: - Add support for Python scripts, C source files, Unix shell scripts (.sh) and Windows batch files (.bat) (RAT-68) - Allow Ant task to output report as XML. (RAT-73) - Allow users to specify a custom XSLT stylesheet for reports (RAT-74, and RAT-75) - Some website fixes - Optionally auto-add headers to source files. (RAT-76) |
| 0.6-incubating | 2009-04-10 | This is the first version using the org.apache package structure and related names. RAT users are strongly encouraged to migrate, as the old Google version will no longer be maintained. * Support for TMF header * Comprehend PEM, CRL file endings * Added reporting capability to recursive rat script * Moved to the Incubator@Apache |
| 0.5.1 | * Fixed file closing bug * Fixed XML bad character bug | |
| 0.5 | * Added header matcher for DoJo. * Refactoring existing codebase to separate concerns and use resource pipeline. * New header matching library. | |
| 0.4.1 | Rat 0.4.1 is the first release with distributions. The release was cut for this purpose. * Created POM for use with Rat library. * Ant task switched to use Xml based report. | |
| 0.4 | * Ant tasks added. These allow Rat reports to be run against a wide variety of resources from within Ant. * Legacy report is now deprecated. It will be removed before the next release. * Created stylesheet for xml reports which produce output similar to the legacy plain text report. Application now uses the xml report with that stylesheet. * Revised xml output format * Improve support for binary recognition by adding code that tastes files | |
| 0.3 | * This is the last release with the original hacked together plain test report. The new XML reporting code is present but is not yet the default. * Rat 0.3 is the first release with release notes. All previous releases are now consigned to Ancient History. No record of them will be found here. |
