condition when creating directories on WinXP, also Windows2000.
* Update bundled cc-config to version 1.7.2.
* Changed how CCDIR is calculated by cruisecontrol.sh in binary
distribution to match the source distribution (CC-361)
* Changed connectfour config.xml in binary distribution to use
filesystem intead of svn to avoid over loading SourceForge's svn
server

contrib
======================

distributed
----------------------
* Added more robust Progress support for AntBuilder on BuildAgents.
* Remove extraneous synchronized flags.
* Add optional child element <remoteResult> to allow retrieval of
additional build artifact directories.
* Change CCDist build to execute in the distributed/target directory
(same as cc-main).
* Add mail.jar and activation.jar from main to paths for cases where
SMTPAppender is used in log4j.properties.
* Add "java.verson" to the list of automatically defined agent
entries, as the existing "java.vm.version" shows the hotspot vm
version in 1.6.0_04+.

packager
----------------------
* Use the /var/spool/cruisecontrol/cc.pid file instead of fighting with /var/run
* Start cruise after package installation on Debian
* Fix package removal under Debian


build loop
======================

AntBootstrapper/Publisher
----------------------
* Fix uselogger/AntOutputLogger bug. Provides independent
showAntOutput attribute on AntBuilder (CC-699). Reported by Jerome
Hourquebie.

AntBuilder
----------------------
* Fix validateBuildFileExists() to handle non-absolute, but valid
build file with antWorkingDir set to a different work dir on Windows.
* Junitreport broken by over-riding xalan with saxon when not using
anthome/antscript attrib. If anthome/antscript is not used, the saxon
jars are removed from the classpath before ant is called. (CC-773)
Patch by John Lewis

BuildQueue
----------------------
* Project blocked in Completed (or Queued) state in the queue, never
gets to be built again (CC-443). Patch of Patch by Szczepan Faber.

Cincom Smalltalk VisualWorks Store Source Control

instead of just logging and continuing.  Triggered by CC-619, CC-449,
and CC-450.

CompositeBuilder
----------------------
* Document builder attributes of <composite> builder. Reported by Mark
Kefauver and EJ Ciramella.
* Change composite builder to use same technique as Project to detect
build errors (in the build log, the "build" tag has an "error"
attribute).
* Insert composite builder info into build log for each child builder.
Todo: Rearranging these elements (even nesting childLog elements?),
might allow display of these child buider info elements in reporting
apps.
* Implement (and document) "timeout" attribute.

Configuration documentation generation
----------------------

configxml.html. Still a work in progress (CC-202). Patch by Jerome
