I'll upload a new nightly build soon. The changes look good. Apologies for the incremental changes, but there are a couple more: General changes: * This release of NAnt introduces support for expressions. should probably be * Added support for expressions. for better consistency with other general changes Commandline changes: * Deprecated -[defaultframewor]k option in favor of -[t]argetframework. should be * Deprecated -[defaultframewor]k option in favor of -t[argetframework]. * Added -emacs option could be * Added -e[macs] option Actually, regarding these last two, * The default logger will now also output the number non-fatal errors and warnings. this should probably be in general changes Finally, will the title for the 0.85-beta 1 release become 0.85-rc1 (or 0.85-rc 1), to be consistent with previous releases? I wonder if we should also use links for all the task/types headers (eg. csc) ? Not sure I like the layout that much when we change the headers into anchors/links. Previous releases in the file don't (hardly) include links at all... Adding links to the task/type headers doesn't affect the layout, does it? If it's a stylistic thing, then you could suppress the link underline and colour through the style sheet... Certainly, the file would become rather busy if each of these headings was underlined in blue. -T Disclaimer Message: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s) named.

RE: [nant-dev] NAnt 0.85 release notes + to-do's
This is probably just being picky, and I don't actually know what a good solution is... In /doc/index.html, one of the images is loaded from http://sourceforge.net This just means that the image will be broken when the page is viewed from a computer with no internet connection, or NTLM password authentication is requested when opening the page in Firebird if the network has a stupid NTLM web proxy installed. Not a big issue, but I thought I'd bring it up, while people are (kinda) thinking about this kind of thing. Release notes suggestions: (It's not all about complaints :-) General changes... * FilterChain support has finally been introduced to NAnt. should be * FilterChain support has been introduced to NAnt. (No need to give newcomers to NAnt the impression that things are slow to move in NAnt development) * NAnt will now report unknown attributes and child elements. could be expanded slightly, perhaps * NAnt will now report unknown attributes and child elements when parsing project files. (These are common symptoms of errors in the project file) Is it worth introducing a partial ordering to the list of general changes? Error reporting, new features, changed features, documentation changes...? Developer information... * The Task.LogPrefix property has been deprecated... should be * The Task.LogPrefix property has been deprecated and is no longer used... What needs to be updated in expression support? I just had a flick through, and it seems fine... I'll have a stab at some of the function documentation and forward this on in a later email. Would this stuff be most useful in the format found in the source files? How do you define a link to a html page in this format?

Please let me know if there's anything missing or incorrect.

Re: [nant-dev] NAnt 0.85 release notes + to-do's
Don't have much time right now, but jus a quick reply on the expression/function docs question : - we now also support addition between datetime and timespan - we now also support subtraction between two datetime expressions - datetime::add and datetime::diff no longer exist - datetime::add-seconds should probably removed - it might be good to add examples to the function code - Gert - Original Message - From: Troy Laurin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gert Driesen [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Nant-Developers (E-Mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 4:41 AM Subject: RE: [nant-dev] NAnt 0.85 release notes + to-do's This is probably just being picky, and I don't actually know what a good solution is...
