    I just downloaded the mono upgrade version (b9) to test a project of mine... and i am able to switch to .Net 4.6 now! All seems to work just fine for now... no crashes or exceptions are seen...

    Because the project i was testing is about ray casting against triangle meshes, i wanted to try the SIMD vectors from System.Numerics.Vectors assembly but i can't using it in a script... Is this going to be included in Unity?
    I actually can see the dll in: Engine_Folder\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono\4.5 but can't include it!

    Try referencing it in a response file. We only reference certain assemblies by default.

    Create a file in the project: mcs.rsp

    To that file, add the line:
    -r:System.Numerics.Vectors.dll

    error CS0006: Metadata file `System.Numerics.Vectors.dll' could not be found

    Can you post the full content of your .rsp file here?

    Hi, i just created a new mcs.rsp file in the project and copied the line from joncham's post:

    -r:System.Numerics.Vectors.dll

    this was the only content in the file.
    NOTE: i did install the special version of VS tools as well in order to use Threading.Tasks library and i was able to use the Threading.Tasks but the rsp file didn't worked for Numerics.Vectors library!
