I finally got around to implement the Mono.Cecil library into WSPBuilder. I hope this will solve some of the resolvment issues with assembly reflection that was with Assembly.LoadFrom. Further more that Global Assembly Cache is ignored when loading assemblies. Also security reflection (CAS) of the assemblies have been improved and should now be complete. The -CustomCas parameter still needs improvement and may be rewritten.
WSPBuilder.exe version 0.9.8.0408 (experimental)
Note! This version is a complete rewrite of the assembly reflection done in WSPBuilder and therefore the experimental status.
----------------------
Assembly reflection is now done with the Mono.Cecil project. This enables the WSPBuilder to reflect on assemblies without having to load all depending assemblies.
-DLLReferencePath are now obsolete, because there is no need for load depending assemblies, but it still may be used in the future.
The WSPBuilder are not able to detect if a control is inherited from a WebControl, therefore there may be more safecontrols tags in the manifest. This is because that depending assemblies are not loaded.
Code Access Security declaration in the manifest.xml have been improved for DLLs in the 80\Bin folder.
The "assembly is already in the GAC bug" have been solved. WSPBuilder now only loads assemblies from the project folder and do not care about the assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache.
-PermissionSetLevel do NOT support Unrestricted PermissionSet. Because its not possible to add this to the manifest.xml.
Note that there are two versions on codeplex.
Different versions:
WSPBuilder Extensions ver. 1.0.1 - Visual Studio Addin, wspbuilder.exe 0.9.8.0206 is included in this package.
WSPBuilder.exe version 0.9.8.0408 (experimental) - Only exe file and libraries.
The x64 version of WSPBuilder.exe will be added to codeplex soon.
Thats it for today.

Carsten you're truly doing a magnificent job ! Keep up the fantastic work !
Hi,
This is really a great tool. I was struggling to create a solution for 2 months and after using WSPBuilder, I've done that in a single day. Hats off to you man.
I have all exported all the 12 hives into the 12\template\features directory. I was able to create an item on wspbuilder in this folder. However MoSS feature generator dumped the site columns, all the contents into wspbuilder folder. The dumped files from wspbuilder is not showing up visual studio (but they are all present when i go to windows explorer). Any idea or article how to use moss feature generator with wspbuilder? I would truly appreciated.
thanks
