[Opensim-dev] new Mono

[Teravus Ovares]

One thing to note,

After we start using 3.0 syntax, we'll have to drop Visual Studio
2005, as it cannot compile 3.0 expressions.

Another thing that's important to note, Visual Studio 2008 will not
tell you if you're using something that will cause Visual Studio 2005
to break even if you set the target assembly version to 2.0.

Just adding more var(use Implicitly typed local variables) to the mix.

Best Regards

Teravus
