That only works if you are *allowed* to deploy a new or updated .NET framework on the target system, which is not always true.
But the problem is not really about deployment it is really more for those of us who must compile from source and who are not permitted to upgrade our development toolset. - Neal -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Powell [mailto:m...@aaron-powell.com] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2011 4:41 PM To: lucene-net-dev@lucene.apache.org; lucene-net-u...@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: [Lucene.Net] VOTE: .NET 2.0 Framework Support After Apache Lucene.Net 2.9.4 +1 PS: If you are supporting .NET 3.5 then you get .NET 2.0 support anyway, you just have to bin-deploy the .NET 3.5 dependencies (System.Core, etc) since they are all the same CLR Aaron Powell MVP - Internet Explorer (Development) | Umbraco Core Team Member | FunnelWeb Team Member http://apowell.me | http://twitter.com/slace | Skype: aaron.l.powell | MSN: aaz...@hotmail.com -----Original Message----- From: Troy Howard [mailto:thowar...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, 10 May 2011 6:05 AM To: lucene-net-dev@lucene.apache.org; lucene-net-u...@lucene.apache.org Subject: [Lucene.Net] VOTE: .NET 2.0 Framework Support After Apache Lucene.Net 2.9.4 All, Please cast your votes regarding the topic of .Net Framework support. The question on the table is: Should Apache Lucene.Net 2.9.4 be the last release which supports the .Net 2.0 Framework? Some options are: [+1] - Yes, move forward to the latest .Net Framework version, and drop support for 2.0 completely. New features and performance are more important than backwards compatibility. [0] - Yes, focus on the latest .Net Framework, but also include patches and/or preprocessor directives and conditional compilation blocks to include support for 2.0 when needed. New features, performance, and backwards compatibility are all equally important and it's worth the additional complexity and coding work to meet all of those goals. [-1] No, .Net Framework 2.0 should remain our target platform. Backwards compatibility is more important than new features and performance. This vote is not limited to the Apache Lucene.Net IPMC. All users/contributors/committers/mailing list lurkers are welcome to cast their votes with an equal weight. This has been cross posted to both the dev and user mailing lists. Thanks, Troy
