Breaking changes</h3>
<h4>Core</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<h5>
<a class="heading">nant.tasks properties</a></h5>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
Prior to NAnt 0.85, build authors would use a &quot;nant.tasks.*&quot;
property to check whether a given task was available.
</p>
<p>
With the introduction of expression support in NAnt 0.85, we
provided a more powerful alternative through the
<a href="help/functions/task.exists(System.String).html">task::exists</a>
function.
</p>
<p>
As of this release, the &quot;nant.tasks.*&quot; properties are
therefore no longer set by NAnt.
</p>
</div>
<h5>
<a class="heading">nant.failure</a></h5>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
Removed support for the &quot;nant.failure&quot; property to
set the target that should be executed when the build fails.
</p>
<p>
This property was deprecated in NAnt 0.83 in favor of the
&quot;nant.onfailure&quot; attribute.
</p>
<p>
As of this release, setting the &quot;nant.failure&quot;
attribute will no longer have any effect.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h4>Expressions</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<h5>
<a class="heading">= operator</a></h5>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
In NAnt 0.85, support for the '=' operator to check for equality was
deprecated in favor of the '==' operator.
</p>
<p>
As from this release, the '=' operator is no longer
recognized.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h4>Tasks</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<h5>
<a class="heading" href="help/tasks/style.html">&lt;style&gt;</a></h5>

<h3>Additions</h3>
<h4>Expressions</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<h5>
<a class="heading">Version operators</a></h5>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
Introduced support for <a href="help/fundamentals/expressions.html#version-operators">relational operators</a>
between version values.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h4>Framework&nbsp;support</h4>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<h5>
<a class="heading">Tool paths</a></h5>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
Since NAnt 0.84, task authors have been able to specify the
location of the command-line tool by applying a <code>ProgramLocationAttribute</code> to
classes deriving from <code>ExternalProgramBase</code>.
</p>
<p>
The <code>ProgramLocationAttribute</code> allows task authors
to specify whether the tool is located in the framework directory
(eg. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4432) or the
SDK directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1)
without actually having to deal with the complexity of knowing
the actual path to these directories (for each supported framework).
</p>
<p>
In NAnt 0.86, we've taken this one step further. Each defined
framework now has a (ordered) list of directories that can be
scanned to locate a framework tool. The list of directories
can be easily tuned for each framework by modifying the
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">tool-paths</span><span class="xmltext">&gt;</span>
nodes in the NAnt configuration file.
</p>
<p>An example of such a node for the Mono 3.5 profile:</p>
<pre class="code">
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">tool-paths</span><span class="xmltext">&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">directory</span> <span class="xmlattribute">name</span><span class="xmltext">="${path::combine(prefix, 'lib/mono/3.5')}" /&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">directory</span> <span class="xmlattribute">name</span><span class="xmltext">="${path::combine(prefix, 'lib/mono/2.0')}" /&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">directory</span> <span class="xmlattribute">name</span><span class="xmltext">="${path::combine(prefix, 'lib/mono/1.0')}" /&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;/</span><span class="xmlelement">tool-paths</span><span class="xmltext">&gt;</span>
</pre>
<p>
The directories configured in the <span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">tool-paths</span><span class="xmltext">&gt;</span>
node of the current target framework will be scanned in the
order in which they are defined.
</p>
<p>
The tool paths are implicitly used when a given tool cannot
be located on the location specified by the <code>ProgramLocationAttribute</code>.
As such, this only applies to tasks deriving from <code>ExternalProgramBase</code>.
</p>
<p>
To expose this functionality to build authors, we've added a
<a href="help/functions/framework.get-tool-path(System.String).html">framework::get-tool-path</a>
function that can be used to search for a given tool.
</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre class="code">
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">exec</span> <span class="xmlattribute">program</span><span class="xmltext">="${framework::get-tool-path('gacutil.exe')}"</span> <span class="xmlattribute">managed</span><span class="xmltext">="strict"&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">arg</span> <span class="xmlattribute">value</span><span class="xmltext">="/i" /&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">arg</span> <span class="xmlattribute">file</span><span class="xmltext">="Cegeka.HealthFramework.dll" /&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;/</span><span class="xmlelement">exec</span><span class="xmltext">&gt;</span>
</pre>
</div>
<h5>
<a class="heading">Strict execution</a></h5>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
Introduced support for forcing a managed application to run
on the currently targeted CLR.
</p>
<p>
This was previously only possible by modifying the &lt;startup&gt;
section of the application configuration file or by using
constructs specific to each CLR (eg. using <b>COMPLUS_VERSION</b>
environment variable for the MS CLR), which made build scripts
non-portable.
</p>
<p>
Developers extending NAnt, can now control this by setting the
<code>Managed</code> property for tasks deriving from
<code>ExternalProgramBase</code>.
</p>
<p>
For build authors, forcing a managed application to run on a
specific version of a CLR can be done by setting the
&quot;managed&quot; attribute of <code><a href="help/tasks/exec.html">&lt;exec&gt;</a></code>
to <b>strict</b>.
</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<pre class="code">
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">exec</span> <span class="xmlattribute">program</span><span class="xmltext">="nunit-console.exe"</span> <span class="xmlattribute">managed</span><span class="xmltext">="strict"&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">arg</span> <span class="xmlattribute">value</span><span class="xmltext">="/noshadow" /&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;</span><span class="xmlelement">arg</span> <span class="xmlattribute">file</span><span class="xmltext">="Cegeka.HealthFramework.Tests.dll" /&gt;</span>
<span class="xmltext">&lt;/</span><span class="xmlelement">exec</span><span class="xmltext">&gt;</span>
</pre>

task.
</p>
</div>
<h5>
<a class="heading">Silverlight 2.0</a></h5>
<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
Added experimental support for targeting Silverlight 2.0
and Moonlight 2.0.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note:</b> this does not apply to the <code><a href="help/tasks/solution.html">&lt;solution&gt;</a></code>

<div style="margin-left: 20px;">
<p>
Defines a set of patterns, mostly used to include or exclude certain files.
</p>

<h5>
Building NAnt</h5>
<ul>
<li>
The source distribution of NAnt no longer contains pre-built binaries to build
a full version of NAnt. Instead, we now include GNU Make and NMake make files
to build a bootstrap version of NAnt, which is then used to build the full
version of NAnt. More information is available <a href="help/introduction/installation.html">
here</a>.

<h2>
0.85-rc 1 (November 28, 2004)</h2>
<h3>
Framework&nbsp;support</h3>
<ul>
<li>
NAnt 0.85 adds support for the following frameworks (both as runtime and as
target framework):
<ul>
<li>
Mono (both 1.0 and 2.0 profile)
</li>
<li>
.NET 2.0 Beta 1
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
By default, NAnt will now target the framework on which its running. For
example, if NAnt is running on .NET 2.0, the assemblies built using the <code><a href="help/tasks/csc.html">
&lt;csc&gt;</a></code> task will target .NET 2.0. Previous versions of
NAnt would target .NET 1.0 by default.</li>
<li>
Information on how to override the target framework, can be found <a href="http://nant.sourceforge.net/faq.html#change-targetframework">
here</a>.

Breaking&nbsp;changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
In previous version of NAnt, the <code><a href="help/types/arg.html">&lt;arg&gt;</a></code>
element (used by, for example, the <code><a href="help/tasks/exec.html">&lt;exec&gt;</a></code>
task) would automatically add quotes for both "file" and "value" attributes in
the command line generated by the task. That automatic quoting has been removed
for "value" attributes (but not for "file" attributes). This change may break
build files that assume that both arguments specified using the "file" and
"value" attributes will automatically be quoted.</li>
<li>
Overwriting of read-only properties in tasks other than the <a href="help/tasks/property.html">
&lt;property&gt;</a> task will now result in a build failure. Previous
versions of NAnt would silently ignore an update of a read-only property.</li>
<li>
The <code><a href="help/tasks/nunit2.html">&lt;nunit2&gt;</a></code> task been
updated to support <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10749&amp;package_id=89482&amp;release_id=259085">
NUnit 2.2</a>. Assemblies built using previous versions of NUnit should
either be rebuilt using <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10749&amp;package_id=89482&amp;release_id=259085">
NUnit 2.2</a> or a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconAssemblyVersionRedirection.asp">
binding redirect</a> should be configured in the application configuration
file of the test assembly.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
General&nbsp;changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Improved error reporting when invalid values are specified for attibutes
representing files or directories.</li>
<li>
This release of NAnt introduces support for expressions. More information is
available <a href="help/fundamentals/expressions.html">here</a>.</li>

warnings.</li>
<li>
Output of the <code><a href="help/fundamentals/listeners.html#XmlLogger">XmlLogger</a></code>
is now buffered until build has finished, and <code><a href="help/fundamentals/listeners.html#XmlLogger">
XmlLogger</a></code> can now also be used as a listener.</li>
<li>
Added support for <a href="help/fundamentals/targets.html#wild-targets">wild
targets</a>.</li>
<li>
Lots of built-in properties have been deprecated, and replaced by functions.
More information is available <a href="help/fundamentals/properties.html">here</a>.</li>
<li>
NAnt will now report unknown attributes and child elements when initializing
build elements.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Commandline changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Added "-e[macs]" option, which can be used to produce logging information
without adornments.</li>
<li>
Added "-ext[ension]" option to allow loading of external assemblies. As a
result, third party loggers or listeners no longer have to reside in the NAnt
bin directory or the GAC in order to be used by NAnt.</li>
<li>
Deprecated -[defaultframewor]k option in favor of -t[argetframework].

<h3>
Breaking changes</h3>
<p>
Some existing build scripts may stop working now or in the next release due to
the following changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
The NAntContrib binaries are no longer included in the NAnt distribution
package. The NAntContrib distribution package can now be obtained <a href="http://nantcontrib.sourceforge.net/">
here</a>.</li>
<li>
The <code>&lt;call&gt;</code> task now executes the given target and all its
dependencies. In previous versions of NAnt only the target itself would be
executed.</li>
<li>
The <code>todir</code> attribute of the <code>&lt;copy&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;move&gt;</code>
tasks no longer defaults to the project base directory. It must now be set
explicitly.</li>
<li>
The <code>force</code> attribute of the <code>&lt;call&gt;</code> task has been
deprecated and has no longer any effect. The <code>&lt;call&gt;</code> task
will now always execute the specified target, regardless of the fact that this
target has already been executed before.</li>
<li>
The string-based <code>files</code> and <code>attachments</code> attributes of
the <code>&lt;mail&gt;</code> task have been replaced by fileset support.</li>
<li>
In previous versions of NAnt, the documentation stated that a target identified
by the <code>nant.onfailure</code> property would be executed when the build
fails. However, NAnt actually executed a target identified by the <code>nant.failure</code>
property (if available). This has now been corrected and the old syntax (<code>nant.failure</code>)
is now deprecated.</li>
<li>
The <code>&lt;param&gt;</code> element of the <code>&lt;style&gt;</code> task
has been deprecated in favor of a <code>&lt;parameters&gt;</code> collection
with nested <code>&lt;parameter&gt;</code> elements. The <code>&lt;parameter&gt;</code>
element now also supports a <code>namespaceuri</code>, <code>if</code> and <code>unless</code>
attribute. See the documentation of the <code>&lt;style&gt;</code> task for
more information.</li>
<li>
In previous versions of NAnt, the <code>Plain</code> formatter was implicitly
added in the <code>&lt;nunit2&gt;</code> task. In NAnt 0.8.4, the <code>Plain</code>
formatter will only implicitly be added if no other formatters are specified.
In this case, a warning message will be output to the build log encouraging
build authors to explicitly add this formatter for forward compatibility. In
future versions of NAnt, the <code>Plain</code> formatter will no longer
implicitly be added.</li>
<li>
The nested <code>&lt;param&gt;</code> child element of the <code>&lt;style&gt;</code>
task has been deprecated in favor of a nested <code>&lt;parameters&gt;</code> collection.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
General&nbsp;changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
The user documentation has been overhauled. Nested elements are more clearly
documented, documentation has been added for element types such as filesets and
credentials, and the overall format is slightly cleaner and easier to use.</li>
<li>
Improved bootstrapping NAnt on linux. Now supports Mono 0.28.</li>
<li>
Localization support has been improved in the <code>&lt;csc&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;jsc&gt;</code>,
<code>&lt;vbc&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;vjc&gt;</code> tasks: when dynamixprefix
is set to "true" and prefix is set to the root namespace of the assembly for
the nested <code>&lt;resources&gt;</code> element, the compiler tasks will now
compile resources with IDs matching these generated by VS.NET. Support for the
generation of satellite assemblies was also added to these tasks.</li>
<li>
On systems with both the .NET Framework 1.0 and .NET Framework 1.1 installed,
NAnt will now execute on the .NET Framework 1.1 by default. Note, the default
target framework has remained unchanged, and is still .NET Framework 1.0.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>

Task changes</h3>
<h4>
&lt;call&gt;</h4>

&lt;if&gt;</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Added <code>&lt;uptodatefiles</code> child element for uptodate fileset
support.</li>
<li>
<code>&lt;if uptodatefile="..."&gt;</code> now behaves as documented, meaning
that nested tasks will only be executed if the file specifies in the
uptodatefile attribute actually exists and the file specified in the <code>uptodatefile</code>
attribute is more recent or the same lastwritetime than the file(s) specifies
in the <code>comparefile</code> attribute and <code>&lt;comparefiles&gt;</code>
fileset.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>
&lt;include&gt;</h4>
<ul>
<li>
A verbose message will now be output to the build log when a file is included
multiple times. In previous versions of NAnt, this would cause a build failure.

<ul>
<li>
Properties can now be added or overridden when calling a nested build using the
new <code>&lt;properties&gt;</code> child element.</li>

<code>buildfile</code> is now a required attribute, which makes it harder to
accidently write an infinitely looping build.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>
&lt;nantschema&gt;</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Currently the <code>&lt;nantschema&gt;</code> task does not generate the
correct XML Schema definition for collections and arrays. This tasks needs to

&lt;nunit2&gt;</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Updated the <code>&lt;nunit2&gt;</code> task to use version 2.1 of NUnit.</li>
<li>
In previous versions of NAnt, the <code>Plain</code> formatter was implicitly
added. In NAnt 0.8.4, the <code>Plain</code> formatter will only implicitly be
added if no other formatters are specified. In this case, a warning message
will be output to the build log encouraging build authors to explicitly add
this formatter for forward compatibility. In future versions of NAnt, the <code>Plain</code>
formatter will no longer implicitly be added.</li>
<li>
Added <code>outputdir</code> attribute for <code>&lt;formatter&gt;</code> element

<ul>
<li>
Added support for specifying a prefix to <code>&lt;resgen&gt;</code> task when
using a fileset.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>
&lt;solution&gt;</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Added nested <code>&lt;assemblyfolders&gt;</code> fileset element that allows a
set of folders to be set, that should be searched to resolve assembly
references.</li>
<li>
By default, the Visual Studio.NET assembly folders will be searched to resolve
assembly references. An <code>includevsfolders</code> attribute was added to
control whether these folders should be searched for assembly references.</li>
<li>
Added <code>&lt;excludeprojects&gt;</code> fileset that allows a set of
projects to be excluded.</li>
<li>
An <code>outputdir</code> attribute can now be specified, which overrides the
directory where compiled targets will be placed.</li>
<li>
A nested <code>&lt;webmap&gt;</code> element was added that maps URL's of web
projects to local path, thereby removing the need to configure the web server
to allow access to these project files.</li>
<li>
Added support for Visual C++ projects.</li>
<li>
A large number of defect fixes and performance improvements have been applied.
</li>
</ul>

<h3>
API changes</h3>
<ul>

or the .NET Framework SDK, and have NAnt figure out the full path to the
executable using the framework settings in the NAnt configuration file.
</li>
<li>
<code>FileSetAttribute</code> has been deprecated. The <code>BuildElementAttribute</code>
should be used instead.
