[Opensim-dev] Mono 4.0 coming changes

[Oren Hurvitz]

In order to continue development, we have to switch OpenSim to use the .NET
4.5 profile. This should work; I tried it over a year ago, and I also
updated Prebuild to support .NET 4.5 (see a commit from March 2013).

As far as I can tell, Mono versions all the way back to 3.0.0 support .NET
4.5. That version was released in October 2012. I think that 2 years is
plenty of time to require people to upgrade Mono.
