[Mono-dev] Heads up: Elimination of the 2.0 and 4.0 profiles

[Marek Safar]

Hello Sergey,

I'll try to reformulate my question. Do I understand correctly that in
> new version of mono it will not be possible to compile assembly for
> Mono/.NET 3.5 target and use the compiled assembly in Unity 3D (because
> of referencing different corlib libraries in Unity (corlib 2.0) and
> compiled assembly (if corlib 2.0 is removed))?

That's correct. You cannot compile code using (targeting) 4.x profile and
run it using 2.0 mscorlib. Due to simple reason that 4.x introduces new
apis which are not available in 2.0. Good example is Monitor.Enter (object,
ref bool) method.
