Hi Justin, This has been changed, but it should not affect users using NAnt tasks that are part of the NAnt distribution. I'll look into the history of this change, and add info to the release notes (for the next release (candidate)).
In your custom tasks, you should use Project.GetFullPath to resolve a relative to an absolute path. In your build scripts, you can use project::get-base-directory() to get the base directory of the build file.
