Re: [Mono-dev] Mono version numbering

Unfortunately both kinds of confusion cannot be avoided through a single version number. The only way to express a feel that Mono 1.x is getting very close to complete .NET 2.0 compatibility (where it is not already) would be to number Mono as 1.8.x / 1.9.x as it gets really close to feature

Speaking completely selfishly, this would be great for me. We're working on a cross-platform C# app and oddly, the hardest part of the installation is ensuring that *Microsoft's* .net is installed properly. If we could just bundle a micro-mono for Windows into our distribution, we wouldn't

I think the only way to minimise confusion in the developer population that does not keep up-to-date with the details of development on Mono is to let at least the major version track full .NET compatibility. That is, do not move to v2.x.x until at least .NET 2.0 can be fully supported, do

Hello, I tried out the tool and aside from some typical path issues, the app ran great. Kudos to the WinForms developers! Is there any way to get MoMA to do some Cecil magic and fix path issues? 2 Points for evaluate, but you really get extra credit for remediate! I guess we get the two

Hi Miguel, In the case of nunit, if you run say nunit-console that will load the 1.0 runtime, and if that later tries to load an assembly that was compiled with 2.0 it will load it, but it will later fail when the assembly tries to reference 2.0 features. FWIW, the next NUnit won't work
