 == Key features in this release

-Key features of this 2.6.1 release are:
+This 2.5.3 release is a bugfix release, no new features have been added.

 == List of Changes in this Release

 For details about the following changes, check our JIRA install at link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY[]

-*List of changes since Ivy 2.6.1:*
+*List of changes since Ivy 2.5.2:*

-Note, if you have resolved dependencies with version of Ivy prior to 2.6.1, you may need to remove your Ivy cache for some fixes to have any effect.
+- FIX: trying to set safe XML features causes SAXExceptions when used with certain XML parsers (jira:IVY-1647[])
+- FIX: some unit tests failed on Java 8 (jira:IVY-1648[]) (Thanks to Adrien Piquerez)
+- FIX: cached Ivy files were not valid in some scenarios (jira:IVY-1649[], jira:IVY-1650[]) (Thanks to Moritz Baumann)
+- DOCUMENTATION: improved to the documentation regarding the use of patterns in the resolvers and retrieve task (jira:IVY-1651[]) (Thanks to Lewis John McGibbney)

 The two "latest" conflict managers also take into account the force attribute of the dependencies.
 In fact, direct dependencies can declare a force attribute (see link:../ivyfile/dependency{outfilesuffix}[dependency]), which indicates that the revision given in the direct dependency should be preferred over indirect dependencies.

-Finally, in the resolved Ivy file, dynamic revisions are replaced by the static ones that have been found during the resolve step, so the Ivy file can be used later safely to obtain the same dependencies (providing that a revision uniquely identifies a module, which should be the case for proper Ivy use). Note that this replacement is done before any conflict resolution happens. This can cause differences between the selected versions in the delivered ivy.xml file and the ones that are actually retrieved. This should not be a problem, because if the delivered ivy.xml is used to resolve the dependencies again, the conflict resolution will select the correct versions, even if not all configurations are resolved. This way, we ensure a reproducible dependency resolution as much as possible.
