It provides the list of all VintaSoft assemblies allowed for redistribution on one side and product names with editions on another side, allowing easily match DLL names with product names.

VintaSoft assemblies (DLL files) have four digits in version number. The information about the first version digit compatibility between Imaging DLL and a Plug-in DLL can be found on each Plug-in history page in versions headers. At the same time only the assemblies which have identical last 3 digits in version number can be used together (e.g. X.0.0.1). For example, when Imaging assembly has version X.0.0.1 and Plug-in assembly has version X.0.0.3 an exception will appear. Normally you shouldn't take any care about version numbers dependencies, we always provide setup packages with fully compatible assemblies by default.
