Transitive dependencies
Dependency ranges
bounded, unbounded, multiple ranges
"
up to next major version (2.0+)
Version comparison
defined order (eg 0.10 > 0.9), pluggable version syntax planned, falls back to string comparison

Conflict Resolution
nearest, latest-time (snapshots), fixed. planned: newest (latest-revision), oldest, fail
"
all, latest-time, latest-revision, fixed
Snapshots
configurable timestamping, build numbering, update frequency
"
can publish continuous integration build
auto-updated timestamped build
Profiles
pluggable activators, as well as by id, jdk, OS, sys property for whole build process including deps
no manual activation
single id configuration (must be defined consistently across all ivy configurations)
Scope
defines known scopes for sensible build defaults, combined during transitivity
"
can use configurations in a limited way for this
Non-java dependencies
pluggable
"
Filtering
can exclude dependencies from tree, apply a version globally
when using POM
can exclude dependencies from tree, apply a version globally
N/A
Multiproject
order determined by dependencies, and build outputs can be used as the dependencies (even if not built to a jar)
ordering and reuse of build artifacts as dependencies
System scoped (tools.jar)
can be used transitively
jar overrides
Dependency reports
currently basic tabulated report
multi-page tabulated report
