SPECIAL NOTES TO USERS ========================= The installer for JNBridgePro v10.0 installs three copies of the product: a .NET Framework 2.0/3.0/3.5-targeted version, a .NET Framework 4.0/4.5/4.6/4.7-targeted version, and a .NET Core-targeted version. The 2.0/3.0/3.5-targeted version offers features only available in .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 (accessing .NET generics from Java, WPF component embedding, and secure communications), and generates proxy assemblies that can be referenced in .NET Framework 2.0/3.0/3.5 projects. The 4.0/4.5/4.6/4.7-targeted version offers these .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5-specific features, as well as 4.0/4.5/4.6/4.7-specific features, and generates proxy assemblies that can be referenced in .NET Framework 4.0/4.5/4.6 projects. The 2.0/3.0/3.5-targeted version, 4.0/4.5/4.6-targeted version, and .NET Core-targeted version all provide both 32-bit and 64-bit support. Components of the 2.0/3.0/3.5-targeted version contain an internal file version number of 10.0.0.0. Components of the 4.0/4.5/4.6/4.7-targeted version contain an internal file version number of 10.10.0.0. This allows components from both versions to be deployed to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). The .NET Core-targeted version components contain an internal file version number of 10.0.0.0 (and cannot be deployed to the GAC). Proxy DLL files generated by JNBProxy v8.2 and earlier not will work with JNBridgePro v9.0 or later. Version 10.0 can co-exist with versions 9.0 and earlier, and can be installed side-by-side.
