Yup... We're on the developer list. Lots of things discussed here are not
yet announced to the public.

We also discussed calling them 2.2.4/2.2.5 and 2.2.4/2.2.4.20 and 2.4/3.0.
That's why I reported back to this list what was actually done.

There is NO version 2.0.2.2.3. Versions in .Net can only have four parts,
anyway. The NAME of the package is NUnit-Net-2.0 with a version of 2.2.3.
Using the standard convention that separates the name from the version with
a hyphen, I called the download NUnit-Net-2.0-2.2.3.msi. It's hard to read,
I agree, but you only have to get it once, and it's not a full production
release anyway.

You haven't mentioned mono before, that's a fairly important piece of
information. On Microsoft systems, The 1.1 build runs quite well on 1.0, 1.1
or 2.0, using a config file. When posting about a problem, it's good to give
info like what system you're running on. :-) 

Because I knew that this might cause special problems with mono, I posted on
the mono-devel list, as well as here. So far, there has been no feedback. I
stay in touch with a number of the Mono developers and I'll adjust what I'm
doing when I have better info about what Mono needs.
