We're happy to announce version 0.5.3 of Cake.

The annoying PlatformTarget bug has finally been resolved and using MSIL will no longer fail.

This release has mostly been about improving the performance of file and directory globbing, but one or two features and bug fixes managed to sneak in as well.

We've also added support for using alias directives which might be useful if you're having problems with conflicting type names. However, this feature only works with the Roslyn based script engine at the moment due to a bug in the Mono compiler. An issue have been filed to Xamarin's bug tracker about this.
