Wow... that's great news. I also want to thank everyone involved in this 
project. It has enabled me to perform automated builds for several years now.

I reviewed the bug fixes and see a few things I reported fixed. That's good to 
see.

One concern I have is that .Net 4.0 support is planned for end of year... at 
least 10 months after .Net 4.0s release. 

I'm not also sure what .Net 4.0 support means. Does that mean targeting .Net 4 
projects or running Nant in .Net 4? Currently I actually use the MSBuild task 
to compile my solution and it runs the correct version of MSBuild based on the 
value of nant.settings.currentframework. I set it to net-3.5 and it runs the 
3.5 version of msbuild which then does the correct thing based on the framework 
version targeted in the VS2008 solution file.

Will I be able to move forward and set that value to net-4.0 in .90? How will 
that work?

I would hate to have to migrate all my nant scripts to msbuild. But we plan to 
convert our project to VS 2010 and .Net 4

Once again... thanks for keeping things going. I'd love to help... but I'm not 
sure where to start.
