[Opensim-users] OpenSimulator dev builds using .NET 4.0 - Status of addon modules

[Justin Clark-Casey]

As far as I know, DLLs built on an older versions of the .NET framework should continue to work when referenced by an 
exe or DLL built on a newer version of the framework.

In this case, the vast majority of DLLs built under .NET 3.5 (e.g. region modules) should continue to work just fine 
with the development branch now using .NET 4.0.  There are a few migrations issues [1] but I would be surprised if any 
DLLs created for OpenSimulator run into them.
