I think we're in agreement that current nightlies are much more stable than 0.84 and unfortunately most people coming to a project for the first time will download the latest 'release' from the download page figuring that if that doesn't work then why should a nightly be any better. Sure we point anyone who asks on the mailing list to the nightlies download page but there are likely many people who don't get around to checking the mailing list and just give up.

Can you provide more information on this issue ? It would be great if you
could describe the steps necessary to reproduce it ...
I've been thinking about it, and it may have been how I installed it. I just installed the new version over the old, and I think I've got to do some kind of uninstall first.
Is there an update procedure document?
Are there any plans on putting out a new "stable build"? I've never beenable
to get the "stable" build to compile properly. I define it as
<>"Un-usable".
There are plans ofcourse, but we need to finish up some stuff first ...
I understand the need to "make things right" but taking an older version of the
code, labeling it a release candidate and getting it out there would be useful.
I did not use nant for 4 months after my first attempt to install it and use
it. I'm willing to bet that there are people who are looking at nant and
playing with it and not figuring it out who just throw up their hands and say,
"screw it".
I really mean it when I say, "the stable build is not usable", Aunt Tilly can
NOT install the December 2003 NAnt on a box with VS 2003 and get it to run in
less than 20 minutes.
A branch might be a bitch to maintain, but please, just publish .85 and be done
with it. I'm not sure how much work it would be to polish a version (brutally
hack out any code less than 80% usable is probably more like it) but I'd love
to see it done.
