What's new in XMvn 1.3.0

XMvn 1.3.0 was released on 2013-11-05.  Most important changes
include:

* Major features

  * Installation of Ivy modules

    Since version 1.3.0 XMvn can install Ivy modules.  Ivy
    descriptor files are transparently converted to Maven POMs and
    installed as such.  This feature is still experimental.

* Major bugfixes

  * Fix manifest injection

    XMvn no longer injects manifests to JAR files that have no
    manifests.  This also fixes a bug that caused POM files to be
    replaced with empty JAR files in some cases.

  * Delay simplification of effective POMs

    Effective POMs are now simplified during package installation,
    not build.  This way installer has enough information needed to
    generate auto-requires on Java version.

  * Make resolver ignore artifact types

    Configured artifact types by repositories no longer affect
    behaviour of XMvn resolver, but are still understood by
    installer.

* Minor bugfixes

  * Fix potential resource leaks

    XMvn 1.3.0 fixes a few bugs in which certain resources (mostly
    files) were not released (closed) even when they were no longer
    needed.
