Ironruby core - Jun 2008 - CLR 2.0 SP1 will be the new baseline requirement to run IronRuby

The DLR is going to be taking a dependency on CLR 2.0 SP1 in the coming weeks:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945757. CLR 2.0 SP1 (version 2.0.50727.1433)
shipped back in November of 2007, and is available as a standalone download, and
is included with .Net Framework 3.5. It includes a number of important bug fixes
in it that let us take out some workarounds in our codebase. We''ll be
putting in runtime checks in our codebase to guard against running in CLR 2.0,
since this will cause code to blow up at runtime inside of our dynamic sites.

We are also going to be transitioning to C# 3.0 syntax in our sources as well,
although there won''t be a dependency taken on System.Core, which means
that CLR 2.0 SP1 is all that users will need to have installed to run IronRuby.

Please let us know if you foresee problems with these changes.

Thanks,
-John

Don''t mean to ask a stupid question, but will this affect running on
Mono at
all?
Thanks!

I don''t think so.

In my experience, Open Source folks tend to be less about ''release
N'' vs. running off of the latest bits. In the MSFT world, which bits
you deploy on are much more important.

I would hope that they have those fixes in place, if not we''ll break
them and they''ll fix it in short order :)
