I think having the V2 build there but not actively tested works fine. Anybody who wants to use the latest IPy 3.0 build on V2 could submit a patch that fixes v2 specific issues if there are any. What about "officially" declaring we don't support V2 but keep the infrastructure in place and not intentionally remove v2 specific code. Sounds good?

It's a pretty common request, but no one has stepped up to do it yet, and it doesn't interest me personally. I don't want to rule it out, though. I think we'd similar work to run on MonoTouch as well. However, we could restrict that to the 2.7 line until WP gets a proper Silverlight 4/CoreCLR runtime. > Overall I don't think dropping v2.0 build buys us that much if we need > Silverlight 3 build anyways. Do you experience problems or excessive amount > of work supporting v2.0 builds? We're still going to support them for 2.7, and 2.7 will be around for a long time. For 3.0 I doubt I'll do anything to actively break 2.0 support, but testing against it won't be done on a regular basis, and if it breaks, and no one steps up to fix it, it'll stay probably stay broken. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
