[nant-dev] FAQ: The next NAnt version

[Bernard Vander Beken]

Hello,

Every few months since the latest release, someone asked when the latest NAnt version was going to be replaced. This was no coincidence.

Problems:
- The latest non-CVS NAnt version (0.7.9.0) dates from June 11.
- Too often, problems are reported that were fixed a long time ago or are related to NAnt/NAntContrib confusion.
- Many support seeking NAnt users need to be directed to the CVS version of the day, which is the 'recommended' version.
- NAnt dependencies, from NAntContrib to build servers, should have a NAnt version to be compatible with.

In short, bringing out a new release (0.8.0) is needed.
Note: A combined NAnt + NAntContrib package Would Be Nice as well, but first things first.

I suggest a no-new-features-are-needed approach for this version.
The question is: What really *needs* to be done before the new version can be released?

I am aware of the NUnit to NUnit 2 migration, and have been able to use the latest NAnt and NUnit 2 using the exec task/console runner workaround.

Ready.
Steady.
Shoot your comments,

Bernard
