I’ve already alluded to it on our mailing list, and now it’s official: starting with build 1.13.41, the re-linq assembly Remotion.Data.Linq.dll is now a stand-alone DLL. Over Christmas, Matthias Görtler spent quite a few hours rewriting those parts of re-linq that used to depend on the rest of re-motion. Here’s the result:

| 1.13.40: What a difference a reference makes… | 1.13.41: Only standard libs, please |
As you can see, the reference to Remotion.dll also added indirect dependencies on Remotion.Interfaces.dll, log4net, and Castle DynamicProxy 2. By removing that reference, re-linq now only depends on .NET framework assemblies. That should facilitate interoperability for projects that already use a specific version of log4net or DynamicProxy.
If you have any questions, just post them to our discussion group.
