Hey Miljenko, I don't think it makes sense to create a separate "client-profile" version. MS has already abandoned this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc656912(v=vs.110).aspx
Perhaps you were referring to a portable class library ?

I was b bit more "radical" and intrusive, so I split the lib into client profile and non-client profile. pozdrawiam Mel > > Regards > Wojciech Dec > > > Od: "Miljenko Cvjetko" <mcvje...@holisticware.net> > Do: log4net-dev@logging.apache.org; > Wysłane: 15:47 Poniedziałek 2014-02-03 > Temat: Thoughts on 1.3 > >> Hi >> >> I have tried to post this one through the nabble on Nov 25th and 26th. >> My post are still there as "not accepted".
