Gert,
I'm concerned that the breaking change to the echo task could cause
problems for many people who use that task. Although we're having
problems with the echo task appending a newline character to the output,
it seems to me that that's not an entirely unreasonable thing for the
echo task to do - after all, that's what it currently does.
What we're really missing is the opposite of the loadfile task. Just as
loadfile transfers the contents of a text file to a property, we require
a task (savefile, say) that transfers the contents of a property to a
text file.
I'd be happy to submit a patch to implement this, and I urge you to
revert the breaking changes to the echo task, or at least make the new
functionality available in a non-breaking way (e.g. perhaps add a
skipNewline boolean property that defaults to false).

Hi Paul,
This issue is now fixed in CVS.
Together with the fix for #2807728, I introduced a breaking change for
<echo>:
we now default to the system's current ANSI code page when writing
message to a file.
I also added an encoding attribute, so you can easily set the encoding
back to UTF-8.
I've struggled for at least two hours to get a new nightly build
uploaded before I gave up L
I'll have to find another place to host our nightly builds, as I've
already lost too much of the little time I have with sf issues.

Hello Gert
I have added a bug. The id is 2807728. How long do you think until a
fix for this becomes available?
Many thanks, Paul

Subject: [NAnt-users] newline in echo
Running <echo file="file.txt">This is my text</echo> seems to actually
output:
This is my text\n
-which is wrong, I didn't ask for a newline to appear at the end, and is
actually now causing problems. Is there a way to avoid this newline
appearing?
Paul
