Hello folks, The upcoming Mono 2.6 will be the last Mono release to support the .NET 1.0 profile.
Pretty much all developers have moved to use generics-aware code these days, and supporting the 1.0 profile has become an large tax on the development team. 1.0 applications run just fine on 2.0 runtimes, so few users will be affected by 1.0-only bugs or dependencies (we are bug compatible in a few places with the 1.0 behavior). Users that still want to run 1.0 applications will be able to do so by keeping an older version of Mono around (2.4 or 2.6, plus whatever is the latest Mono release). The tax means that we need to continue developing and maintaining libraries that are not able to take advantage of 2.0 features for old users, and it means that build times are longer, regression test suites have to be run twice, and we have to keep and maintain bug compatibility with another version. Miguel. _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
