1.0.16 is a bug fix release, more to come soon. I have to admit that I have only recently used the ivy:build function from the maven repository. What a mess! Using struts 2, spring 3.x and hibernate as my test bed, I quickly found out how many things are missing or simply wrong. Not that my repository is perfect but at least for all of the use cases I have had thus far I have only found minor errors. More to come...

1.0.14 is available, this is primarily a refactoring release. I have refactored to the adapter pattern vs. the inline adapter. This makes the code a lot easier to maintain. There are several cosmetic fixes in this release also, primarily sorting and image handling. In the next release I plan on making the image handler choose to write inline html or physical files. Some of the corporate browser are so far behind that they may not support inline images. If you are an adopter of Ivy Facade, let me know.

Some really great changes in this release. I have added a health, and searchable index on the home page to get an "at a glance" view of the repository. The search feature became useful for finding the latest and greatest faster.

The dependent / dependency graphs are a bit cleaner, with added color and functionality for broken links. This release also adds a couple of other features for reading more efficiently. This release does not support all tags for Ivy yet, but that is my next step.

It's official, Ivy Facade is now a Google Code project! I have almost everything set up now, the last test will be tag automation from my Hudson server, so here is the low down (or down low):

• Ivy Facade builds using Ant and is automated on a Hudson instance running on Spring TC Server developer edition.
• The project uses JQuery, XOM, and XSLT as it's primary packages
• I have gone back and forth between IntelliJ and SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) and landed on STS after a struggle using subversion
• The code site is fairly robust, but more content will be coming
• My main web site is currently running on Google also.

Seems like a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it in the end.

• Sorry if anyone has been trying to get a version from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8. It all has the same base code but while working with Hudson and auto upload the revision file still increments.
