Should this be on nant-dev rather than nant-users?
Anyway, comments below...

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 ?

Let me know if I'm on completely the wrong tack here, but can both issues be solved at once?
That is, create an xml file which contains cumulative changes from the cvs log since some milestone, plus the date that the last recorded change was included.
The nightly build would update this file by appending the changes since the last-updated date in the file and "now", then change the last-updated date in the file to be the same as the most recent recorded change in that time (Unless "now" is deemed safe enough, with latency or timezone issues)
This file could be processed to create a pretty change log, which may or may not order the changes by date.
There are cons, one being it's harder to insert data into an xml file than it is to create a new one; the other being that you may not be able to use existing scripts and stylesheets, although there will likely be a strong resemblance.
Thoughts?
