Hi Clayton, It would be great if we would not have to reply on some local file to determine the last successful daily build. Perhaps we could use a file on our sf project site to store the date of the last succesful nightly build in.
Also, I guess it would be nice to store the generated change log next to the binary and source distribution in http://nant.sourceforge.net/nightly/builds/<date>-<milestone>/. But I guess we should also include it in both the source and binary distributions itself. However, I also wonder if its a good idea to only include a partial change log in the distributions, perhaps these should include a full change log, and only the change log in the nightly build download directory should be a list of changes since the last successful build ... Not sure about this. What do other OSS projects do ?

The task also outputs xml in the same format as the ant task so the ant style sheet can be used to provide an html page of changes. Using the ant version I have just generated a rolling daily/ weekly log of changes but I think using a file to store the last date the changelog was generated would work. If no one else is working on this I could add it to the nightly builds.
