There are two parts to the DLR: the "inner ring" and the "outer ring". The inner ring is the expression tree extensions, call sites, and some other infrastructure stuff - this is what shipped with .NET 4 was previously in Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll. The outer ring in the hosting APIs - ScriptEngines, Scopes, etc. It is in the hands of the community now and we can do with it as we please. As far as I know, the inner ring/.NET 4 parts are pretty solid - there may be a few changes, but they're likely pretty minor, and hopefully MS is willing to work with us (and projects like IronJS, Coljure-CLR, & IronScheme) if changes are needed. The outer ring is also pretty solid as well, as far as I know, but it's not a concern since it can be changed at will (except that multiple projects depend on it, so some caution would still be needed). We might have to start calling that part DLR+ or something to avoid confusion. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
