Hello everyone,

I've created RC1 release candidate for Ant 1.10.15 release:

git tag: ANT_1.10.15_RC1

     on commit: 2250895d174f5beee54e9e4ea9523500feb1f1f9

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

     svn revision: 70964

Maven artifacts: 
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheant-1062


This 1.10.15 release of Ant is a regular bug fix release and contains 
changes that are noted in the release notes at 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ant/RELEASE-NOTES-1.10.15.html.

The previous release, 1.10.14, had crucial changes in Ant to stop using 
Java SecurityManager when Ant is used in Java runtime 18 or higher. 
Apart from a bug in a launcher script, we haven't heard any issues with 
those changes and that's a good sign. We also have heard that users have 
been using that version of Ant in Java 18 and higher, so it's a sign 
that the changes we did to stop setting SecurityManager at runtime in 
Ant hasn't impacted projects adversely.

Please give this proposed release a try against your projects and let us 
know if there are any issues.

This is a vote email and the voting will be open for at least 72 hours 
and close no earlier than 21st August 2024 14:30 UTC.
