Hi all,
This is a feature request that many may find unnecessary, but which I would think would greatly benefit Mogre in the long run and costs virtually nothing.
As some .NET users will recognize, it is quite common to sign managed assemblies with a strong name key. This allows for the assembly to be registered in the global assembly cache and also provides some modicum of security over the contents of the assembly.
These issues are not so important to Mogre community, but there is another very practical reason that Mogre should be given a strong name. Many of the new Microsoft tools like Windows Workflow Foundation or DSL Tools support customization with types coming from external assemblies, but unfortunately, due to the nature of those frameworks, require that these external assemblies be signed with strong name keys.
The effort required to implement this is minimal: just generate a new strong name key and check the project option to sign the assembly. I think that in the long run this would benefit Mogre for users wishing to integrate it with the new Microsoft tools.
Best regards,
Gonçalo
