new issues :: Beta Mono release 5.4.0

After the last upgrade (the Mono Beta repository - Beta Mono release 5.4.0 Preview 3)

Unpacking mono-4.0-gac (5.4.0.199-0xamarin2+debian9b1) over (5.2.0.224-0xamarin1+debian9b1)

I've got this:

MSBUILD : error MSB1025: An internal failure occurred while running MSBuild.
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not resolve field token 0x04000304
File name: 'Microsoft.Build'

And I could not use the xbuild.

Probably it needs the clean install and/or the xamarin-android re-build using the newest version. I don't know. I don't have a time for experiments and I don't have one more computer+disk to play with it.

So, I decided to migrate from the Mono Beta repository to the Mono Stable that have Mono version 5.2.0 SR4 (5.2.0.224) today.

Now it works.

Working software versions are:

mono - Mono JIT compiler version 5.2.0.224 (tarball Mon Sep 18 17:31:59 UTC 2017)

msbuild - Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.3.0.0 ( Mon Aug 14 21:03:24 UTC 2017) for Mono
monodevelop 5.10

and my "old" (because I've disabled the update) Visual Studio Code 1.13.1 - C# 1.11.0 (1.11.0 can't work with the Droid project, but it can still work with the PCL projects today).
