Hello Ryan, Thanks for the feedback, let's see what other people think.
In regards to versioning, I would prefer not to use an even/odd numbering scheme to denote stable/development releases: 1) Looking back at prior NAnt releases, the project has always used 'state' (alpha, beta, rc, etc) and number (1, 2, 3, etc) to indicate the status. 2) Using odd number (dev) release might scare off some users from trying who are worried about trying bleeding edge code; instead this might cause them to wait until an even (stable) release is provided. This might caught a delay in the feedback cycle. (Although, you could argue the same for alpha/beta release...) 3) Although this scheme was used by Linux kernel team in the past, but since 2.6, this has been dropped. I didn't do any research, but there must be an argument against it.
