[Opensim-dev] Minimum OpenSim mono version now 2.4? (was Re: [Opensim-commits] r10113 - trunk)

Tue Aug 4 09:27:32 UTC 2009

Please allow me to be cynic but... For using/developing for/testing trunk
Opensim versions I am forced to tweak my stable and well patched Linux and
to include an unstable mono version which I have no guarantee about
everything will work (maybe with 2.4, maybe with 2.5, maybe with future
2.9)...

Too much unstability in the basement, even for an "alpha code" project, I
think.

When will be available a stable version for testing the new things (beyond
0.6.*)? Actually I have "fear of the trunk" and I am limited to old 0.6
versions for developing utilities... quite frustrating.
