OpenRA

Hey.
I decided to recall the past. Three years later, I decided to return.
At the end of the installation I need NET Framework 4.0. The game does not start.
The question why?
It did not exist before this requirement and I could play calmly.
I am extremely disappointed.

Oh, prepare for extreme disappointment then, because it will require 4.5 from next release onwards.

Dependencies (like the library OpenRA uses for showing the countries the players are from or the new NAT library to replace the terrible one we have now) are based on new .NET features 3.5 in incapable to provide.

It also gives us more options to evolve our own code, albeit that's being used to a lesser extent, I guess.

TL:DR Code evolution.

Is the .net upgrade going to cause problems for Linux? (I'm interested in Ubuntu 16.04)

We will now require mono >= 3.2 on linux, but that isn't a problem for Ubuntu 16.04.
