[jira] [Resolved] (LOG4NET-333) AssemblyVersionAttribute should
specify less precise version
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-333?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Stefan Bodewig resolved LOG4NET-333.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Simon is right, we did have releases that have broken binary compatibility (1.2.11 has been one).
I'd recommend using binding redirects as well.

> Key: LOG4NET-333
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-333
> Project: Log4net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Builds
> Reporter: Andrew Arnott
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2 Maintenance Release
>
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h

> The [AssemblyVersionAttribute("1.2.10")] that appears in the log4net.dll causes the CLR to refuse to load it if anyone was compiled against even a slightly different version. Yet most of these versions are (presumably) binary compatible.
> The work here is to adjust AssemblyVersionAttribute, while preserving AssemblyFileVersionAttribute:
> [AssemblyVersionAttribute("1.2")]
> [AssemblyFileVersionAttribute("1.2.10")]
> This way, folks can see what precise version it is, but at runtime anyone compiled against 1.2.x can run against other 1.2.x versions.
> This is particularly important in a heterogeneous system where multiple libraries are used that are all compiled against different versions of log4net and cannot all be recompiled against a common version of log4net.
