Hi all, Just checking in with some progress that has been occurring in NAnt's development. It's not a complete list but there are a few big ones that I think are worth highlighting.
* The VS project solution files for both NAnt and NAntContrib projects have been updated to VS2010 format. * .NET/Mono 1.* runtime support for NAnt has been dropped. Target support for .NET/Mono 1.* still exists, however. * The <style/> task has been updated to use xslCompiledTransform, which should address the issue described here on Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5032347/xslt-stylesheet-replaces-self-closing-tags-with-empty-paired-tags Thanks to Michael Tutty for the contribution via pull request for this item. * The <mail/> task has been updated to use System.Net.Mail instead of System.Web.Mail. During the process of updating this task, additional features were added that we thought to be very helpful (such as specifying a reply to address, specifying the port number to send mail to, indicating whether or not to use an ssl connection, etc). * More work has gone into the <msbuild/> with the help from Dominik Guder and Martin Aliger. From what I understand, there are still a couple of outstanding issues with this item but the task is working better with recent versions of msbuild scripts. This is still a high priority. * Quite a bit of work has been put into upgrading the <nunit2/> task to reference the latest version of NUnit. I'm happy to say that these changes are currently in review to be imported into nant/master. The version of NUnit being used for this upgrade is 2.6 final (which was released just a few days ago). I'm hoping that this will go into master soon. I want to say thanks to Charles Poole and the rest of the NUnit dev team for their help and insight to get the <nunit2/> up to speed. They were very helpful in this process. Anyone interested in viewing these changes can see them here: https://github.com/nant/nant/tree/nunitupdates * The nightly process for both NAnt and NAntContrib projects have started up again. This time, an automated process has been setup with extensive help from Dominik Guder to make sure that new nightly files are generated whenever changes occur on the master branches of either project. The last nightly was built on 2/19/2012 and includes all the changes listed above except for the nunit changes. The nightly files can be found in the following locations: NAnt Nightlys: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nant/files/nant/nightly/ NAntContrib Nightlys: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nantcontrib/files/nantcontrib/nightly/ We are still trying to nail down release dates and should be announcing them as soon as they are finalized. The next version number being targeted for NAnt/NAntContrib is currently 0.92. It seems like the natural progression but we are curious if you have any reasons to use a different version number (ie: should we skip 0.92 and go to 0.95, etc). That's all I have for now. I will try to send out these kinds of notices more often as progress continues.
