Will .Net 4.0 use a new version of the CLR (v2.1, 3.0) or will it stick with the existing v2.0?
Supplementary: Is it possibly going to keep with CLR v2.0 and add DLR v1.0?
Update: Whilst this might look like a speculative question which cannot be answered, the VS team appear to be releasing more and more info on VS10 and .Net 4.0 so this may very soon not be the case. (Info available here -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/products/cc948977.aspx)
NET 4.0 is a new version of the runtime, it is independent of . NET 2.0. New version of the framework don't encompass the previous versions, they are built as a specific version with a specific featureset. .
NET Framework 4.5 and later versions are backward-compatible with apps that were built with earlier versions of the . NET Framework. In other words, apps and components built with previous versions will work without modification on the . NET Framework 4.5 and later versions.
Yes, 4.7 overwrites any previously installed 4. x version. Make sure you don't also install 4.6, that will destroy the 4.7 install.
As previously announced, starting January 12, 2016 Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, technical support or hotfixes for . NET 4, 4.5, and 4.5. 1 frameworks. All other framework versions, including 3.5, 4.5.
Yes, .NET 4.0 will introduce a new version of the CLR (which will also be at 4.0). The DLR will essentially become a part of the core framework, but it will still sit on top of the CLR.
4.0 is going to be another side by side release from what I have read.
