Version history of the CLR 4.0

  • Article

 

Following on from my “Version history of the CLR 2.0” post I’ve decided to start one for 4.0.

The below generally only refer to patches affecting core CLR files clr.dll, not the rest of the framework, although I meant mention one or two other fixes with affected DLLs noted.

The following version numbers refer to the final revision number part of the full file version number, in other words the xxxx bit of 4.0.30319.xxxx
