| Description |
|
We would like to start making use of features provided by .NET Framework 4, which by now has been out long enough that there should be no problem raising the minimum requirement from .NET 3.5 to 4. Note that one reason we had been delaying this was to maintain Mono compatibility, but Mono has caught up with .NET 4.

For consumer apps, switching from a .Net 3.5 to .Net 4 requirement is pretty significant for users with older hardware. The .Net 4 installation process is very time consuming and confusing to users. Would it be possible to isolate the core driver capabilities into source files that don't have a dependency on .Net 4 specific features? That way we can custom build a minimum driver from those files that still works with .Net 3.5, and it will remain supported because it will still be part of the current driver. |
