Hi,

Is it possible in the next Cocktail package to not strictly ask for a specific version of caliburn ? that way everyone can benefits of their futur services release without waiting a update of cocktail.

Cocktail is built with a specific version of Caliburn.Micro and has a hard reference to that version. For WPF this can be worked around with assembly binding redirects, but not on the other platforms. More importantly, we test Cocktail against the specific version and allowing for more recent versions could increase our support burden, so we have to carefully consider the implications. Are you developing for WPF, Silverlight or Windows 8 Store?

Silverlight

In that case it's not even possible, because Silverlight doesn't support assembly binding redirection.

How would you do this with WPF, as Cocktail is looking for 1.4, but CM 1.4.1 resolves some issues for WPF and .NET 4.5

Updating 'Caliburn.Micro' from version '1.4' to '1.4.1' in project 'SSBWageTaxRecalculation'.
Update-Package : Updating 'Caliburn.Micro 1.4' to 'Caliburn.Micro 1.4.1' failed. Unable to find a version of 'IdeaBlade.
Cocktail' that is compatible with 'Caliburn.Micro 1.4.1'.

KitKat,
You can't do it with the current NuGet package, because the dependency requires 1.4. I can relax this dependency in the future for WPF to allow newer versions. In the meantime if you really need 1.4.1 you can reference the CM 1.4.1 assembly directly and then add assembly binding redirection manually to your app.config, so that Cocktail is satisfied with 1.4.1. No guarantee that Cocktail will work with 1.4.1. I haven't tested it yet.

Thank you for the reply.  I would think it reasonable to allow any minor version changes while still documenting that it is only tested for a specific version.  

I have found it reasonable to assume that is is likely (I dont assume a guarantee) that minor versions have very few if any breaking changes.

Thanks again,
Katerina

Just a quick update. The recently released Cocktail v2.2.1 adds official support for Caliburn.Micro v1.4.1 and for WPF, CM can now be updated independently of Cocktail.
