title: TLS 1.2 in mono on ubuntu
body: <p>I have installed the latest version of mono 
  mon -V gives me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Mono JIT compiler version 4.8.0 (Stable 4.8.0.495/e4a3cf3 Wed Feb 22 18:30:58 UTC 2017)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From the release notes(<a href="http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/4.8.0/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/4.8.0/</a>) it says I have to:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>To use it, you must set the environment variable MONO_TLS_PROVIDER to
    the value “btls”, like this:</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have not done this.
  I came across a way to check if using 1.2(<a href="http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Still-stuck-in-a-bad-place-with-TLS-1-2-support-td4669106.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Still-stuck-in-a-bad-place-with-TLS-1-2-support-td4669106.html</a>)
  When I run this  I get: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>TLS 1.2, the most modern version of the encryption</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So my question is, Is it correct to say I do not need to do anything only install latest mono and default is 1.2?</p>
