[Opensim-dev] mono & the client

[Dahlia Trimble]

I can see that using the most recent release version may be beneficial. One
concern I have is the often difficult update process for mono, and the
default versions that ship with popular linux distributions may not be the
latest release version. I would prefer that if bugs are uncovered using
popular versions, that we may want to address those bugs and only recommend
upgrading as a last resort. This would allow a wider adoption than if we
mandated the most recent mono version.  Along the same lines, there are
circumstances where updating to the latest versions may be impractical or
even impossible, such as in some rental servers or other circumstances where
the user may not have the necessary capability to upgrade.
This does not mean we should ignore newer versions. Testing on the latest
release and or bleeding edge can provide more insight into what future
popular releases hold in store.
