Without that the 2.0 version worked just fine. In a similiar vain the 4.0 version is supposed to be well suited for 4.5 and we'd only add special builds when needed. Targeting WinRT would require quite a bit of work. Technically, NAnt doesn't support 4.5, yet, which is a hurdle. Also AFAIU I wouldn't be able to target 4.0 on a machine with 4.5 installed as it is an in-place update so building the release would require two different Windows installations. > do we position “net” binaries as targeting only MS .NET, or are they > suppose to be cross-CLR / cross-platform? The trunk of log4net (targeting log4net 1.3.x and dropping support for .NET 1.x) uses the exact same source code to compile the net/2.0 and mono/2.0 assemblies, there is no specific MONO define used right now. As long as your version of Mono is recent enough (2.10 works well) the "net" binaries should work fine. I intend to add builds for mono-3.5 and 4.0 (based on Mono 2.10 as NAnt has problems with Mono 3.x) to verify the newer assemblies work for them as well. The goal is to keep platform dependenencies to a minimum but also accept them when needed - i.e. we wouldn't rule out supporting a certain feature just because it wasn't supported on all platforms.
