Am I missing something? Where are the source files hosted?
I've been looking around the pages in here, saw some really old
discussions on the matter, searched the nunit.org site - couldn't find
a link to the files themselves, so I can check it out.

I know it still a beta. Just wanted to take a look (If it is possible)

Thanks,
Noam Gal.

I think if you trall through the archives of the mailing list you will discover:
- NUnit is leaving sourceforge. I can't remember where Charlie has moved it yet (Github)?
- NUnit 2.5 is not quite out yet (the RC is up on SourceForge)
- NUnit 3.0 work hasn't started yet.

At this stage I think the most you could ask of 3.0 is a roadmap.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Noam,

This group was started as the nunitv3 discussion group and we spent
a fair amount of time reviewing ideas for the next NUnit. I got a
lot of good feedback but also a lot of resistance to making a
major break at that time. Many people wanted a version of NUnit
just like the current one except for some favored feature.

In the end I opted to do an interim 2.5 release, which is out as
a release candidate as of last night. Some of what would have gone
into 3.0 is now in 2.5. The ability to run in a separate process
under a different CLR version is a good example. But other changes
will require the major revisions that I wrote about in the beginning
and are not happening yet.

Folks following this list are already aware that I have some regrets
about that decision, but it's where we are now. With the RC out,
I'm hoping we can go to a final release pretty quickly. In June -
after my vacation trip - I'll be announcing an actual 3.0 project,
with a web site, repository, team members, etc. As things happen
leading up to that, you'll read about it here.

Charlie
