[Mono-dev] VisualwebGUI 6.0.4, Framework 2.0 working with Linux + Mono.

[linuxfreak@uy]

Me again,

I just remembered that Stephanus already posted this error at VWG forum and
they replied that this issue is konwn and will be fixed for version 6.2
(see, http://support.visualwebgui.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=2318) . This
probably means that the current unstable version 6.1.2 will become 6.2 when
it become stable or the '6.2' is just a typo error :).
