Would it not be better to simply move it all forwards to 3/3.5/4? I know
the dependencies would have to be updated to use newer versions, but Vista
comes with 3, Windows 7 comes with 3.5.
3.5 has some performance boosts, but the native LINQ technology is only in
.net 4, which maybe is too much of a step? This would require most systems
to download an update (but this is pushed through by windows update anyway).
Have you done any changes with the direct draw version? I was unfortunately
in an accident and ended up in hospital for a little while. So I have not
had time to check. I did try Kinovea on a new system and realised it was
not using anywhere near the performance ability of any core.

Subject: [kinovea-dev] C# 3.0 in Kinovea sources
For quite a few versions now, the project is compiled with the C# 3.0
compiler, while still targeting the framework 2.0.
I don't think there was any part of the code that actually used C# 3.0
features though.
It's always a bit hard to know which features are pure syntactic sugar that
will compile directly or if assemblies from the framework 3.5 will be
needed.
I have just added LINQBridge <http://code.google.com/p/linqbridge/> as a
dependency (BSD licence). It's only in sandbox code but will be comitted
shortly.
This small assembly (60KB) basically allows us to use the features of C#
3.0, like extensions methods, the Action<> and Func<> delegates signature,
LINQ queries, λ expressions, etc. (still targeting .NET 2.0)
It just struck me as odd that Kinovea was a pet project to experiment new
stuff and technologies, and that it was stuck in a 2005 language ! (The move
to Mercurial DVCS follows the same logic)

PS: I'm using both SharpDevelop 4.0 and VC# Express 2008 as IDE.
