Happy new year, everyone :)

I've created RC1 release candidate for Ant 1.10.13 release:

git tag: ANT_1.10.13_RC1

     on commit: 6996b80b5fb59cc2769fbbbb7098d837de32680a

tarballs: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ant/

     revision: 59117

Maven artifacts: 
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheant-1056/

Apart from the regular bug fixes, this release includes better support 
for Java 18+ version. Starting Java 18, setting the SecurityManager at 
runtime (which Ant does by default) throws an exception. This relates to 
SecurityManager being deprecated for removal in future Java versions 
https://openjdk.org/jeps/411. This current proposed Ant release does 
certain necessary (internal) changes to prevent these exceptions from 
happening and thus allowing project builds to continue using Ant without 
any workarounds.

Please give this release a try against various Java versions of your 
choice (starting Java 8) on the operating systems that you usually use 
to build your projects. The complete release notes is available at 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ant/RELEASE-NOTES-1.10.13.html.

This vote will be open for at least 72 hours and close no earlier than 
7th January 2023 12 PM.
