Hi this is indeed a usefull feature, Craig is making a prototype of CCNet vNext (we do not know the exact version number yet) but it will be a total re-write.
you can read about this at his blog : http://en.wordpress.com/tag/cruisecontrol-net-2-0/ and look at the following in particular : http://csut017.wordpress.com/2010/12/13/cruisecontrol-net-vnextmeta-structures/ making it into the current code base could possibly work, but extending the current code base with real core changes is getting more and more difficult. So that's the reason Craig took a total new approach, which is looking very cool :-) with kind regards Ruben Willems On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 3:05 PM, Gunnar <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > We are using the <parallel>-Tag to build our components in parallel. > Here's a little scenario for the function we would like to have > implemented.
