We're moving to .net 2.0

Just a quick heads-up for those users that develop plugins. With the next release we are moving to .net 2.0.

Any reason why?

Will any of these or could the be better when using .net 2.0?

1. Add images to Recordings
2. Create a new timeline graphic bar

Lots of reasons, some of them below.
- .net 1.1 is pretty old now. Everyone setting up new PCs these days seems to install .net 2.0, then wonder why GB-PVR does work with it. I'm growing tired of telling people that 2.0 wont work and that they need to install 1.1.
- I want to upgrade my development environment from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2005.
- .net 2.0 and C# has new features I'd like to use
- .net 2.0 provides native support for 64 bit versions of Windows
- .net 2.0 is provided via Windows Update
- there is a free version of Visual Studio 2005, which will be very useful for those wanting to develop plugins. This was not the case with VS2003.

These dont relate to the version of .net. These are features that could be implemented in either the existing .net 1.1 or .net 2.0.

will gbpvr be backwards compatible with older plugins? (written in .net 1.1)

I've not done a lot of testing with existing plugins, but I have briefly tried the 'DVD Ripper' and a couple of other plugins and they seemed to work fine.

Any idea when the new release will be available ?

By the way does anyone know wether you can install .net 1.1 and 2.0 on one computer at the same time ?

'Nother quick question: Will 09612 work with 2.0?

You can install both: .net 1.1 and .net 2.0 next to each other might even be necessary in some setups.
09612 does still need .net 1.1.
