Ant plug-in (v11) release notes

The Run Ant Buildfile action adds the ability to launch Apache Ant buildfiles as part of a Typefi workflow. Apache Ant is often used as an entry point to a Typefi workflow when multiple source files may be submitted within a ZIP-compressed container that requires special handling. For more information about the Ant plug-in, please get in touch.

The latest version of the Ant plug-in is 11.0.121, released on 14 April 2024.

We release updates regularly, and it's our goal to make sure that our software works well, constantly—that Typefi continues to deliver, every day. If you have any feedback or run into any issues, please drop us a line. We're happy to help.
