1. [New issue] IronPython.dll has wrong assembly version
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/35119
User DanielWolf has proposed the issue:
"For several versions now, IronPython.dll has had the wrong assembly version:
File version: 2.7.2.1001; assembly version: 2.7.0.40
File version: 2.7.3.1001; assembly version: 2.7.0.40
File version: 2.7.4.1001; assembly version: 2.7.0.40
The problem is that when trying to load an assembly, the GAC only looks at the
assembly version, not the file version. So to the GAC, these three files are
identical. This can lead to all kinds of nasty behavior.
In our case, the correct IronPython.dll (2.7.3) was lying just beside the .exe
file. But because the assembly has a strong name, .NET first tried to load the
assembly from the GAC. There happened to be an old 2.7.2 version in the GAC,
but as both files share the same assembly version, .NET happily loaded the old
version from the GAC. Due to a bug in 2.7.2, our application instantly crashed.
This is a critical issue. Depending on whether our end users happen to have an
old version of IronPython installed, our software may or may not work on their
machines.
Note that the other IronPython assemblies may well share this versioning
error."-----------------
