I know we added strong naming in By strong naming your assemblies, you force all intermediate consumers into ridiculously complex build processes that are impractical (especially when people are really just trying to use Mongo because it's "easy"). It's nearly impossible to release a library referencing Mongo that doesn't cause serious DLL hell every few weeks. There's supposedly a feature called "binding redirection" that is supposed to solve this, but almost never works; especially in unit test assemblies. At the very least, I ask that you maintain two NuGet packages (one with strong naming and one without) to appease the individuals for whom |

Currently we are only distributing an unsigned version. |

We are targeting 2.0 to remove signing. We will most likely release both a signed version and an unsigned version. Unfortunately, we don't have a planned release date for 2.0 as there are a number of changes and we want to make sure we get the bulk (if not all) of the breaking changes into 2.0. Removing signing before the 2.0 time frame and without offering both versions could harm some of our other users. If you really need the driver to be unsigned, please feel free to build from source the tagged version that we built from. |
