• Type: Bug

Description

The log4net.Config.XmlConfiguration method ConfigureAndWatch(FileInfo) differs from version 1.2.10 and 1.2.11.
In 10 it has void as return value and in 1.2.11 it returns an ICollection.

If I compile against 1.2.10 and then replaces the dll with 1.2.11 and uses an assembly redirect to use the newer version I'll get a runtime error stating
Method not found: 'Void log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(System.IO.FileInfo)'.
