[Mono-dev] Problem with reference not refreshed or specific version binding

[APS]

So you confirm that if I have a non-strongnamed library version 
1.1.0.0 and I make a new bug fix version 1.1.1.0 (I think that 
changing revision is a normal behavior when fixing bugs) I have to 
rebuild all the assemblies that use it otherwise I'll obtain a 
reference not found error? With "not equal only in version number" 
Gonzalo means "with no difference in interface"?
