AssemblyVersionAttribute should specify less precise version
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LOG4NET-333
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-333
Project: Log4net
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Builds
Reporter: Andrew Arnott
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.2 Maintenance Release
The [AssemblyVersionAttribute("1.2.10")] that appears in the log4net.dll causes
the CLR to refuse to load it if anyone was compiled against even a slightly
different version. Yet most of these versions are (presumably) binary
compatible.
The work here is to adjust AssemblyVersionAttribute, while preserving
AssemblyFileVersionAttribute:
[AssemblyVersionAttribute("1.2")]
[AssemblyFileVersionAttribute("1.2.10")]
This way, folks can see what precise version it is, but at runtime anyone
compiled against 1.2.x can run against other 1.2.x versions.
This is particularly important in a heterogeneous system where multiple
libraries are used that are all compiled against different versions of log4net
and cannot all be recompiled against a common version of log4net.
