Merge assembly wrong if its class is used in attribute.

Have one assembly ClassLibrary1:
This problem occurs after upgrating from {SA} 3 to {SA} 5.5. Is it a problem or some settings I should take care are missing?
namespace ClassLibrary1 { public class ClassA { } public class ClassB { } }And another assembly ClassLibrary2:
namespace ClassLibrary2 { [System.ComponentModel.LicenseProvider(typeof(ClassLibrary1.ClassB))] [System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(typeof(ClassLibrary1.ClassA))] //PROBLEM! It still reference to the old ClassLibrary1. public class Class1 { public void Method1() { Type t = typeof(ClassLibrary1.ClassA); //OK! It reference to the new merged class in ClassLibrary2 ClassLibrary1.ClassB b = new ClassLibrary1.ClassB(); Console.WriteLine(t.ToString()); } } }ClassLibrary1 is referenced by ClassLibrary2. I tried to merge ClassLibrary1 into ClassLibrary2. The build is successful. The type "ClassLibrary1.ClassA" used in the Method1 reference to the new merged class in new ClassLibrary2. It is OK. But the type "ClassLibrary1.ClassA" used in the TypeConverterAttribute still reference to the old ClassLibrary1. Enven if its name is obfuscated to the new merged class in new ClassLibrary2. It is wrong.

If its before the porcesing- why are you using the TypeConvertor attributes and how exactly are you expecting smartassembly to deal with them?
[System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(typeof([ClassLibrary2:]CL1.CA))].
But now it is:
[System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter(typeof([ClassLibrary1:]CL1.CA))]
Do you notice the problem. The class name changes to "CL1.CA", but the referenced assembly is still ClassLibrary1. It should reference to the new ClassLibrary2, since the class is merged to it.
BTW, the TypeConvertorAttribute is used for design time support.
