Hi Anthony,

if NPanday finds an AssemblyInfo, it'll update the version attributes. you can 
use 
http://incubator.apache.org/npanday/docs/1.4.0-incubating/plugins/maven-compile-plugin/generate-assembly-info-mojo.html
 to generate it - but it's quite limited in terms of attribute support.

1.3-SNAPSHOT will be written to the AssemblyInformationalVersionInfo only - 
which doesn't have a hard requirement on the format. AssemblyFileVersion and 
AssemblyVersion will be 1.3.0.0

I think it would be a good idea not to touch AssemblyInfo.cs, if the version is 
up to date... For SVN and GIT that won't matter, but for more restrictive 
(pessimistic) VCS I see the problem.

As i look at the code i realize that AssemblyInfo-related code is quite 
unorganized. It would need some cleanup.
I filed a issue for it: 

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NPANDAY-475

Feel free to comment and help us sort out how this should be done in a better 
way.
