In my opinion, the 0.85 nightly builds are far more stable than the 0.84 release.
I'm not saying that we might not rename some tasks or functions, but there are definitely less bugs in the nightly builds.

At the risk of seeming overly cautious, could I ask how stable the nightly builds are? Am I safe to use them as the basis of building our software? If not, then what is the likely release date for 0.85? Many thanks, Bill -----Original Message----- From: Gert Driesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 April 2004 09:40 To: Bill Martin; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Nant-users] Properties problem on <nant> task Bill, This was actually a bug in the nant task. The properties you specified as nested elements, were evaluated in the context of the new project. I changed this to evaluate the properties in the current build file, when the property is not dynamic. This fix has been committed to cvs and will be available in the next nightly build.

Below is a copy of my build script and the associated output. According to the documentation, I should be able to use a property value in my current project to pass through top a new NAnt instance, but it seems to be failing. Am I missing something really stupid or is it a bug? I'm using NAnt 0.84 As you can see below, the property ${propfile} appears to be defined until I use it in the nested <properties> element on the <nant> task.
