Or will it work differently? Yeah, I need to either learn how to multitask properly or not do it at all. :)
What I was trying to say was that the nunit2 task will work as it has in the past. The only difference is that you can now use new features of nunit 2.6 when building with NAnt. The version of NUnit being used by the nunit2 task today is 2.2 I believe, which is quite old. I have received bug reports saying that they couldn't use newer features of nunit with NAnt's task due to the old version. This should no longer be the case. > > Way, way in the past when .NET 2.0 was still cutting edge and NAnt's > <nunit /> task had just been replaced by the <nunit2 /> task, there was > talk about just calling nunit-console.exe because NAnt was having > trouble keeping up with NUnit's updates.

NAnt isn't using nunit-console.exe, it is actually using the nunit libs themselves to perform the tests. From what I understand from NUnit, test libs compiled with previous versions of NUnit should still work properly with the latest version (ie: tests compiled with NUnit 2.5.9 should work when running the tests with NUnit 2.6). I'm not sure if it'll work the other way around, such as tests compiled in with theoretical NUnit 2.6.2 will work with 2.6.0. One of my personal goals going forward is to make sure that the latest version of NUnit will be incorporated into NAnt so hopefully this won't be much of an issue. Hope this helps.
