Mono 5, Roslyn and msbuild #53

Open HinTak opened 6 years ago

HinTak commented 6 years ago

Mono 5 was out on 10 May 2017. It comes with Roslyn ( newly opened c# compiler code from Microsoft), msbuild ( the newly opened microsoft build system, for which mono's xbuild is supposed to imitate). Both are meant to be good for minimizing mono vs dotnet differences. Also mono 5 supports win64. Should migrate to it eventually.

Note also that apparently mono 5 does not run iron python correctly currently, so this is definitely one of those "would be nice eventually" task and shouldn't be attempted without a withdrawal plan.

Mono 5 with ironpython - https://github.com/IronLanguages/ironpython2/issues/37 - more there.

HinTak commented 5 years ago

https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=57962#c8 mentioned that mono 5.11 still had issues with ironpython .

The fix f8a1ab5d7559b0d22788f8f965747973441cc999 to https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=57301 first appears in mono-5.8.0.103 and not in mono-5.4.1.7.

The fix 391dca598831ef87d928354824d5861909cbfb6d to https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=59364 appears first in mono-5.8.0.103 and not in mono-5.4.1.7 also.

My fix to https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=59154 was merged in mono 5.8.0 apparently (mentioned in mono 5.8.0 release notes)

Mono 5.10 release notes mentions System.Security rewrite. May break DSIG code. To check.

HinTak commented 5 years ago

System.Security.Cryptography.Xml was replaced in mono 5.12 . May break DSIG code. To check.

HinTak commented 5 years ago

System.Windows.Forms updated significantly in mono 5.14 . Check GUI breakage, and perhaps to see if the XIM bug is fixed too.

It certainly was broken somewhere between 4.8 and 5.20: https://github.com/HinTak/Font-Validator/commit/57996f82a1a1c8c900fc48a6ee5073ab3888ce80

So the 5.10 change or 5.12 change is suspect. Check and write better version checks.

HinTak commented 1 year ago

Current idea of source of breakage: System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs was replaced in 5.18.
