After a year of living as its own repo, contributions from a bunch of people and a flurry of activity from yours truly over the past month*, I just released the 1.0 version of the H5BP Ant Build Script.

Download a zip or browse the code on github.

Moving to semantic versioning was a good idea by itself and it also served as a perfect opportunity to celebrate the features we’ve been able to add over the past year.

Check out these highlights from the changelog:

– Added support for SASS (*.scss) files (#71)
– Added optional jsdoc3 task (#70)
– Added option to compile LESS CSS (#56)
– Concatenate scripts in order they appear in the HTML (#6)
– Added requireJS support (#18)
– Added sample QUnit Task (#133)
– Added ability to opimize images in multiple directories
– Added advpng optimization (#84)
– Added optional image revving (#135, #3)
– Rewrite relative CSS asset urls when inlining @import calls (#2)
– Added HTML Validation (#27)
– Added new, configurable tokens for concatenation (#95)
– Added async and defer as separate options on the script. (#128)
– Added optional progressive jpeg conversion

I also touched up the documentation and generally made it feel more like a project.

Here’s the big contributor party. This is everyone who’s touched this project from the beginning (including its life as part of the core HTML5 Boilerplate project.)

All these people are awesome:
