This +behavior can be overriden using app.config. mscorlib.dll that belongs to +the selected runtime is loaded regardless of app.config. All other +assemblies are loaded using standard version matching even from the GAC. +That means that if the referenced version is available it is used unless +configuration files force to use a different version. + +Mono runtime only tries exact runtime version match otherwise +DEFAULT_RUNTIME_VERSION is used. This results in a nonsense situation +that we have to list all existing 2.0 Beta and RC versions in +supported_runtimes if we want to use version 2.0 runtime for them instead +of 1.1. By using the MS.NET runtime version selection method 2.0 Beta and +RC assemblies were executed against 2.0 runtime without need to list Beta +and RC versions in supported_runtimes even with 1.1 +DEFAULT_RUNTIME_VERSION. I think DEFAULT_RUNTIME_VERSION should not be +changed untile Mono 1.2 is released but v2.0.50215 (Beta 2) should be +removed from supported_runtimes. + +In addition Mono runtime seems to select assemblies based +supported_runtimes and/or image runtime version of GAC assemblies. +Assemblies other than mscorlib.dll should be selected based on referenced +versions in the referencing assembly and based on configuration files. +Only mscorlib.dll has to be selected based on runtime version. mscorlib +is a special case as it isn't installed to GAC (neither on Mono nor on +MS.NET) but is loaded by the runtime. + +I think this bug should be fixed at a high priority as MS.NET 2.0 RTM was +released so there will be more and more people using 2.0 RTM, Beta, RC +assemblies and they expect MS.NET behavior on runtime and assembly +version selection. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
