RE: Planning 1.2.11
I've managed to get NAnt 0.91apha2 working after some hassles, I hope to be able to build assemblies targeting 4.0 by tommorow. That's great news! I ran out of luck the last time I tried it, but I'm quite unused to NAnt anyway. So that could have been the reason. ;-) Best regards, D.
NAnt 0.91alpha 2 (was Re: Planning 1.2.11)

I ran out of luck the last time I tried it, but I'm quite unused to NAnt anyway. So that could have been the reason. ;-) Not that I'd be an expert either. The biggest hurdle was .NET's inability to provide useful error messages. When I downloaded the ZIP and extracted it, the ZIP was marked as downloaded from the internet and blocked for security reasons and all DLLs contained within inherited that flag. When I first tried to run NAnt I got some CAS exception for file I/O - I thought I had fixed that by removing the NetFx40_LegacySecurityPolicy enabled=true/ from NAnt.exe.config, which was complete nonsense but allowed me to get a step further. That step was NAnt starting up and then failing to load any task DLLs because of , | Could not load file or assembly 'file:///dll' or one of its | dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: | 0x80131515)' ` I should have searched the web for that HRESULT code by that time but for some reason didn't and spent quite some time trying to play with local permissions - and even managed to unblock all DLLs, but that didn't help. I must have missed some files. Then I went back to my ZIP, unblocked that, extracted it again and used the newly extracted version and finally things worked. Stefan

If it does not, then fine - no problem. I hope it is mainly a matter of upgrading NAnt and mimicing what already happens for 3.5. I see NO benefit of creating an assembly that targets 3.5 since that is still the 2.0 CLR UNLESS we put in code that is only available in 3.5 and I do not believe we are ready do that in the 1.2.11 time frame. The build file in trunk already produces them, so we can as well distribute them. We certainly may want to create a WCF appender somewhere down the line, but not now. (Slap me for even thinking of such an appender.) Feel slapped. 8-) Yes, we will want to create one. Just to confirm, the current plan for doing the triage, for those of us without other privileges is that we will comment on the issue that they are looking at it. Of course people with permissions would assign it to themselves. There is a contributors group in JIRA which may allow you to do more. If the people who want to help out can create JIRA acounts and tell me their login id I can add you to this group and we'll see which permissions this will grant you. Stefan
