Hi, Having just read the overview for MS's .NET framework 1.1beta, I was wondering what the Mono teams's position is regarding such further technology developments like this.
I don't mean with regards to the specific new features like System.Data.Oracle etc. but more in general, for example, whether the development on a 1.0 mono will continue regardless of changes brought about in 1.1 or if there is even a correlation here. Is there a roadmap related to the development of mono in relation to the development of the .NET framework in general? I am also wondering to what extent people see this development as another MS attempt to keep things incompatitible. In particular, I am troubled by the following statement: * If an application written with the .NET Framework 1.1 Beta is installed on a system with only the .NET Framework 1.0 Redistributable, it will not run (unless configured to do so). (ref:http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/productinfo/next/overview.asp) Am I reading too much into that statement? Probably... ;-) There is not even a mention of mono - but to me it sounds like as soon as 1.1 gains acceptance, any apps developed with it would no longer run with mono (which would make sense, assuming they are using 1.1 specific features, but not necessarily in general - although "if configured to do so" it might work either way...). I dunno... its all starting to get pretty confusing to me, what seemed so simple and elegant at first... Interested in hearing all of your feedback on the issue.
