Hello, agreed - 1.0 soon is a good thing. I see only one big thing which we should addess in 1.0: VS2005 projects. Or MSBuild cooperation. The same thing.
Since many developers are migrating (or already using) framework 2.0 in VS2005 and we (currently) do not provide direct tools for projects it uses, they could either: use plain msbuild (deserters!) or use core tasks-csc,regasm etc (and maintain both .csproj and .build) or (as most of them do today) <exec> msbuild.exe to their .csproj file (and give up project dependancy resolution and other <solution> features) As I see it, we could: 1/ state, that new project files used on VS2005 are unsupported 2/ write new task which handles it somehow (aka <msbuild-solution> or <new-vs2005-solution>) 3/ merge required code into current <solution> task Since msbuild code need to run under 2.0 framework, and NAnt itself should run on 1.0/1.1 as well, integration (if 3 will be chosen) have to be done carefully. Or could we restrict NAnt to 2.0 framework? I don't thing so... Maybe 2 distributions: 1.0 compatible, and 2.0, compiled for 2.0 and with additional features?
