2002-06-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Double.cs: Replace the private `enum State' with constants since this
        will avoid some bigger headaches in mcs.

Thu Jun 20 17:51:44 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: do not pollute the namespace with the
        System.Parser name.

2002-06-18  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * ArgumentException.cs: Use the message given in the constructor when
        accessing the Message property.  Thanks to Dietmar for the help with 
        "base".

2002-06-17  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: GetField is now a InternalCall

2002-06-13  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * DateTime.cs: (Parse): Accept dates that have no hour,min,sec. in the
        sortable format(s), e.g. "2002-02-25"

2002/06/12  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Random.cs (Next): Fix math error.  Return a number within the range.

2002-06-12  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * String.cs (IndexOf): Return -1 if start index is equal to string
        length.

2002-06-10  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToDouble): Remove rounding in ToDouble (float).
        (ToType): Added null field in conversionTable to avoid
        IndexOutOfRangeException. Changed what exceptions we throw to match
        the spec.
        
2002-06-11  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Int64.cs (Parse): Added unique strings to the messages where we throw
        a FormatException. Needed these to debug, so just left them in since
        they might be useful later. Fixed Currency parsing where we weren't
        looking at CurrencyDecimalSeparator, etc.

2002-06-09  Lawrence Pit  <loz@cable.a2000.nl>\r
\r
        * DateTime.cs: fixes to pass tests M0 to M6:\r
                if yy pattern then year values >= 30 are in 20th century\r
                rfc1123 pattern is always in GMT, therefor useutc must be false\r
        made GetNow() internal static so it can be called from TimeZone.\r
        * TimeZone.cs: removed dependency on year 2002 from initialization of \r
        current timezone.\r
\r
2002-06-09  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Rearranged what Exceptions we throw to
        match MS behavior.

        * Decimal.cs: Added support for the IConvertible interface.

2002-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs (IsDefined): `value' may be of the enum's type itself, it
        doesn't necessarily need to be of the enum's underlying type.

2002/06/07  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * String.cs: Add [Serializable] to class
        * SByte.cs (Parse): Add [CLSCompliant(false)] to all the overloads

2002-06-04  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Recognize the group separator string, but still we
        don't check the format for the proper number of digits between
        separators. Also throw OverflowException when we get Pos or Neg
        Infinity from runtime.

2002-06-03  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToDouble): Fixed ToDouble (byte value).

        * Type.cs: fixed GetTypeCode.

2002-06-02  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToInt16): use Convert.ToInt16 (int) instead of a direct
        cast from an int so that we throw OverFlowException correctly.
        
        (ToInt64): Use a new 64bit version of ConvertToBase.
        
        (ConvertToBase): Add checks for overflow (checks Int32.MinValue
        and Int32.MaxValue).

        (ConvertFromBase64): New 64-bit version of ConvertFromBase.

2002-06-02  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToSByte): Check for special value.
        * Single.cs (Parse): 
        * UInt16.cs (Parse):
        * UInt32.cs (Parse): Throw OverflowException if negative

2002-06-02  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (DBNull): Point it to DBNull.Value.
        (IsDBNull): Instead of checking typecodes, just check to see if
        it's the same as the DBNull field.

2002-06-02  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Convert.cs (ConvertFromBase): Detect bad digits correctly.

Thu May 23 17:17:28 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: implemented CreateInstance ().

2002-05-22  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ConvertToBase): Added new 64bit version.
        (BuildConvertedString64): New 64bit version of
        BuildConvertedString.

        This fixes bug 25068.

        (ConvertFromBase): Added additional test for checking if the
        digits are valid. Thanks to Miguel for coming up with this test.

        This fixes bug 25071.
        
2002-05-21  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Rearranged to fit the new layout of
        conversionTable.

        (conversionTable): Rearranged to fit the layout of the
        System.TypeCode enum.

2002-05-21  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToString): Fixed the ToString methods. Previously I had
        mixed up the two code paths, one for converting to a specific base
        (this case), another from converting from a foreign base to base10
        (used by ToInt16|32|64 (string, int)). This fixes bug 25068.

        * Convert.cs (ToByte)
        (ToSByte): Fixed bug 25074. Added more bits to ConvertFromBase so
        that we won't confuse FormatException with OverflowException.

2002-05-22  Lawrence Pit  <loz@cable.a2000.nl>

        * Environment.cs: CommandLine missed spaces between arguments.
        Implemented StackTrace. Returning MachineName in UserDomainName\r
        instead of null.\r

2002-05-21  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Math.cs (Pow): Change icall method name and insert parameter
        checks in for infinities and NaN.

2002-05-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Reimplement by cleaning up the string first,
        and then passing to strtof in the mono runtime.

        * Single.cs (Parse): Use the Double implementation and cast to
        float. 

2002-05-21  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Math.cs 
                (Ceiling): Check for "special" values

2002-05-19  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Convert.cs (FromBase64CharArray): Convert the char array using
        System.Text.UTF8Encoding, not UnicodeEncoding (which is UTF-16) to
        a byte array.

2002-05-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: Style changes.

2002-05-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * BitConverter.cs (ToString): Add parameter check for invalid start 
        index.

        * Console.cs: Use AutoFlush on the StreamWriter for stdin and stdout
        now that StreamWriter uses buffering

2002-05-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs: Oops.  Also handle exponents without finding a dot.

2002-05-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * ChangeLog: removed empty entry at the top of the file.

        * Int32.cs: made static functions used by Parse internal.

        * Int64.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * UInt64.cs: removed static fucntions used by Parse and use the ones

2002-05-09  Daniel Morgan <danmorg@sc.rr.com>

        * Single.cs: copied ToString() and Parse() methods from 
        Double to Single and modified a tiny bit for Single.  
        There is still a FIXME for Double and Single about
        passing the format and provider info to the icall too.\r

2002-05-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * UInt64.cs (Parse): don't use Char.IsNumber to test for hex digits.
        Don't use a delegate to test for valid digits.

        * Convert.cs: 
        * Math.cs: Added missing CLSCompliant attributes where necessary.

        * Array.cs (IList.Contains): Should throw a RankException if this is 
        called on a Rank > 1 array. Not in the docs, but this is what the 
        MS.NET does.

2002-04-26  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * MissingMemberException.cs: Made the message variable 'protected'
        instead of 'private', so that we can see it in
        MissingMethodException and MissingFieldException.

        * MissingFieldException.cs:
        * MissingMethodException.cs: Added missing (string, string)
        constructor, and also the Message property.

        decimal number is 0.

2002-04-24      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>
        
        * Type.cs (GetProperty): fixed call syntax (needs an empty array not null)
        * MonoType.cs (GetPropertyImpl) : basic implementation (ignores types, bindingAttr, modifiers)

2002-04-24  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Handle case where there are no digits before the 
        decimal point, such as ".1".

2002-04-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs:

        implementation to get away from throwing a NotImplementedException.

2002-04-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:

        * Int16.cs:
        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: added complex Parse ().

2002-04-09  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Array.cs (BinarySearch): Add checks on paramters before using them
        and throw exceptions as needed.

        * Enum.cs (Format): Check if [Flags] is applied to enum and convert
        "G" format to "F" if so.

Tue Apr 9 13:12:09 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: return arrays of type Attribute[]
        instead of object[].

2002/04/09  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        string.

2002-04-09  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Don't use a format character to indicate a
        custom format was passed in. It was using 'z' to indicate a custom
        format, but really it should throw a format exception if the user
        tries to use "z" as the format string. Now it does.

        * Activator.cs: New File.

2002-04-08  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (ToString): Big ugly fix for the case where [Flags] is
        applied to an enum. Need to handle the different possible integer
        types of an enum somehow.  Can anyone say generics?

Mon Apr  8 06:22:42  2002 Piers Haken <piersh@friskit.com>

        * Convert.cs: switched the To*(object) methods to use
        IConvertible directly instead of calling ChangeType

Sat Apr 6 20:08:41 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ValueType.cs: make Equals() an internalcall.

Fri Apr 5 15:38:54 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: also look for nested types in FindMembers.
        * MonoType.cs: make GetNestedTypes() an internalcall.

2002-04-05  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (Parse): Handle different underlying types.

2002/04/04 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (IsDefined): Throw exception when type of value to look for
        is not the correct one.  Attempt to have it work with string values
        too, but not sure if the unit tests are getting that far yet.

2002-04-04  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fix a couple of typos.

Wed Apr 3 19:46:00 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs: the values array is of the enum and not of the underlying
        type. Updates and some bug fixes.
        * MonoType.cs: make the internalcall return FullName instead of the
        assembly qualified name.
        * Type.cs: make ToString () simply return FullName.

2002-04-03  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Type.cs (GetTypeCode): provide some of the implementation for this
        method.  It's still too simplistic to be considered complete.

2002-04-02  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: fixed FieldGetter/FieldSetter signature

2002-04-02  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Environment.cs: add MonoTODO's on parts that should have it.

2002-04-01  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs: added reality checks (check parameters to most methods that
        need them).

2002-03-30  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: added FieldGetter/FieldSetter

2002-03-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: fixed initialization error in static
        constructor.

2002-03-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: added new field to store a trampoline function

2002-03-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: added workaround for bug #22668. First patch to
        make custom format strings work (not fully functional yet).

2002/03/28  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Change class from internal to public.  Add
        necessary [CLSCompliant(false)] attributes.

2002-03-27  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * _AppDomain.cs, AppDomain.cs: renamed method GetDate to GetData
        (was a typo)

2002-03-28  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Type.cs: Added MonoTODO tags on members that have FIXME, etc.

2002-03-27  Dan Lewis  <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>

        * Console.cs: Modified to get std handles from MonoIO.
        * Environment.cs: removed PAL dependencies.

2002-03-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (System): Removed internal enumeration, because
        bootstrapping the corlib at this point does not support
        enumerations. 

        * IntPtr.cs: Temporary work-around until I fix the assembly
        attributes bug.

2002-03-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs (GetValues): According to the docu this is sorted after
        values, not names.

        * String.cs (System): Removed enumeration, because it is pretty
        hard to support enumerations in /nostdlib mode for the core types.

Tue Mar 19 18:18:49 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: move error handling in the catch block.
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: remove == and != operators that were
        removed with the delegate changes (when you add stuff, please do not
        remove existing functionality!).
        * Type.cs: if a property is not found in a type, search for it
        in the parent types, too.

2002-03-18  Dan Lewis <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>
        
        * Math.cs: changed to use icall instead of PAL.

2002-03-18  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs: added check for NaN (Bug [22082])

2002-03-19  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (Equals): check for null and throw if it is.
        * Enum.cs (Format): check for null parameters and throw if necessary.
        This method still needs more argument checking.

2002-03-18  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs (Equals): check if Enums are of the same type

2002-03-18  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs: Explicitly handle comparisons in CompareTo() for
        Positive/Negative Infinity and NaN. Unit Test now passes on Linux.

        * Enum.cs(CompareTo): Check types of values before trying to compare.
        Throw exceptions if types are invalid or don't match.

2002-03-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Add some extra debugging information.

2002-03-15  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Array.cs: Added IList and IEnumerable. 

2002-03-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * UInt64.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt16.cs: Mark public parse methods as
        NonCLSCompliant. 

2002-03-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs (Equals): also compare method_ptr 
        (GetHashCode): returm method_ptr as hash

2002-03-13  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.n>
        * TimeSpan.cs: removed the use of Custom Numeric Format Strings,
        such as 42.ToString("0000000"), as these are (currently) not implemented
        in System.IntegerFormatter. TimeSpan luckely can do with Standard
        Numeric Format Strings, such as 42.ToString("D7").

2002-03-12  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * FieldAccessException.cs: 
        * MethodAccessException.cs: 
        * PlatformNotSupportedException.cs: Inherit from
        MemberAccessException, not SystemException.

        * ObsoleteAttribute.cs: Made Message and IsError properties
        instead of fields.

Tue Mar 12 19:21:18 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * GC.cs: make SuppressFinalize() a nop.
        * Delegate.cs: fix == operator.

2002-03-13  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs: Add IConvertible methods. Cyclic dependancy fixed in the
        runtime that goes with this patch.

2002-03-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Int32.cs (Parse): Correctly parse negative numbers.

2002-03-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * String.cs (Split): Really fix it this time. Also adding several new
        testcase to the testsuite.       

2002-03-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Optimized: removed duplicate null check, removed
        two duplicate GetLowerBound() calls and one duplicate IsValueType.

Fri Mar 8 18:49:19 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: commit my hacked GetHashCode(): it's good enough for now.
        * String.cs: use the dumb code for IndexOf(string): this is worth
        15-20 % speedup in mcs compile with mint.

Fri Mar 8 12:45:44 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: revert change to Split() that broke the compiler (hi martin!:-).

2002-03-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * String.cs (Join): Throw an ArgumentNullException.
        (LastIndexOf (string,int,int)): This method does a backwards search,
        so startIndex points to the end of value, not to its beginning. Don't
        throw an exception if startIndex equals this.Length. Always return -1
        if startIndex is smaller than the length of value.
        (Replace (string,string)): Replace all occurences of oldValue.
        If newValue is null, all occurences of oldValue are to be removed.
        (Split (char[],int)): Return an empty array if maxCount is zero, throw
        an ArgumentOutOfRangeException if it's less than zero. Return maxValue
        elements, not maxValue+1.

Thu Mar 7 17:16:06 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: make GetEvents() an internal call.
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: copy the passed in array.

2002-03-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Use FastCopy when appropriate and do correct
        exception handling.

2002-03-06  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * CharEnumerator.cs: fixes to CharEnumertor.MoveNext, fixing 
        some of the failures found be new tests (see ChangeLog in 
        Test/System). Comments added to this method, based on
        the representation invariant of this class, that (try to) explain
        why it now should be correct.

2002-03-06  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Int64.cs (Parse): bug fix for max. negative value. 

2002-03-07  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: Add Serializable attribute as the docs say.
        I need to understand what the difference between the attribute and
        the interface is.

2002-03-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Always throw an ArrayTypeMismatchException, not
        an InvalidCastException if the widening conversion failed. See
        testcases #M94-#M96.

        * Array.cs (CopyTo): Bug fix from Ajay Dwivedi, correctly handle
        arrays with non-zero lower bounds. Also adding testcases #F10-#F13
        for this.

        * Array.cs (CopyTo): Reverted my last change, it was incorrect.
        (Copy): Actually allow copying multi-dimensional arrays.

2002-03-05  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs:
        (DBNull) Added the missing field.
        (IsDBNull) Fixed typo.
        (ToByte (string, int)) Implemented.
        (ToString (byte, int)) Implemented.
        (ConvertToBase)
        (BuildConvertedString) internal functions used for converting values to
        a specific base.

        * Int16.cs: 
        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs:
        * Single.cs:
        * UInt16.cs: 
        * UInt32.cs: Implemented the IConvertible interface.    

        * CharEnumerator.cs: Renamed to variables to be clearer and
        changed some of the tests to conform to the 1.0 spec.

2002-03-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Calculate absolute array position here and use
        GetValueImpl() and SetValueImpl() with that position. We can now
        copy multi-dimensional arrays.
        (CopyTo): Small bug fix.

2002-03-05  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>

        * Version.cs: CompareTo changed according the LAMESPEC discovered by 
        Nick (See VersionTest.cs).
        * CharEnumerator.cs: fixed two bugs in MoveNext. It had an off-by-one
        error comparing the current position (idx) against the length of the
        string iterated and it set idx to an unrecognized special value (-2)

Tue Mar 5 17:34:14 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * SByte.cs, UInt64.cs: implement IConvertible interface. Nobody wants
        to do this dirty work, but someone has to do it (and I need it to pass
        the "200 sample tests compiled on linux" mark).

2002-03-06  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Attribute.cs
        * DecimalFormatter.cs
        * Delegate.cs
        * Double.cs
        * GC.cs
        * Int16.cs
        * Int32.cs
        * MonoType.cs
        * RuntimeMethodHandle.cs
        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs
        * String.cs
        * Type.cs:
                Add [MonoTODO]'s to places where we currently throw a
                NotImplementedException.

2002-03-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Int16.cs (Parse): do not overflow on max negative value

        * Int32.cs (Parse): do not overflow on max negative value

Mon Mar 4 20:36:05 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: fixed IsClass.
        * MonoType.cs: fixed MemberType, IsPrimitiveImpl, IsPointerImpl,
        IsByRefImpl. Added GetInterfaces().
        * IServiceProvider.cs: compilation fix.

Mon Mar 4 18:37:03 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: allow copying an empty array to an empty array.

Mon Mar 4 17:59:16 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: fixed LastIndexOf (string) to do a bit of argument
        checking.

2002-03-04  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Version.cs: many fixes to failures found by the newly created
        test cases for this class. Specifically, the CompareTo member
        returned wrong values due to the use of Int32.MaxValue as a special
        value indicating an "undefined" version component. Also implemented the
        missing operators (==, <, >, etc.), one missing constructor and
        and some exception throwing.

2002-03-04  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * IServiceProvider.cs: Add missing attribute: ComVisible(false)
        * Attribute.cs: Add missing attributes: Serializable and
        AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All)

Mon Mar 4 11:26:49 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: implemented GetConstructors(), GetFields(),
        GetMethods(), GetProperties().
        * Object.cs: added debugging icall obj_address().
        * Type.cs: fixed the binding flags for some Get* methods.
        Implemented FindMembers() as calls to the specific GetMember
        methods.

2002-03-01  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * BitConverter.cs: fixed one little bug: ToString(s, n, 0) 
        should give an exception for n>=s.Length.

2002-03-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs: More argument checking and bug fixing.

2002-03-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * BitConverter.cs: Indentation match

        * AppDomain.cs: Added MonoTODOs to this too.

        * Buffer.cs: Added MonoTODOs to this.

2002-03-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs: Added argument checking to all methods where it was missing.

2002-03-01  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>

        * BitConverter.cs: Fixed bugs in ToString methods

Fri Mar 1 15:20:00 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MulticastDelegate.cs: implement operators so mcs3 can be used on linux.

2002-03-01  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * BitConverter.cs: Throw ArgumentException like mscorlib, instead of
        ArgumentOutOfRangeException like the docs say.

2002-03-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs (CompareTo): Correctly override this method from IComparable.

        * Console.cs (setIn, setOut, setError): It's called SetIn, SetOut, SetError.

2002-02-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * String.cs: This file now passes the testsuite on Linux :-)
        
        * String.cs (Intern, IsInterned): The interncalls are now called _Intern and _IsInterned;
        make them private and provide C# wrappers which do proper argument checking.

        * String.cs (Format): Correctly handle escaped brackets.

        * String.cs (_CompareChar): New internal function which compares two chars.
        (_Compare): Provide an internal compare method which can do all sorts of
        comparision and call it from all the Compare() methods. Also fixed a lot of
        bugs here, this code now actually passes the testsuite.

2002-02-28  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Added the missing methods. The new class status page
        kicks ass, it even found my typos! Woohoo!
        (ConvertFromBase): Moved the Exception throwing in here and
        removed the other occurances so it's all centralized now.
        (ISDBNull): Implemented.
        (GetTypeCode): Implemented.

2002-02-27  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: Guid.ToString("") and Guid.ToString(null) is now understood as Guid.ToString("D") 
        just as in mscorlib. There is (probably) a documentation bug in the MS FrameWork SDK, which
        states that a lacking format should be interpreted as "N".  
        Also added [Serializable] attribute
        * TimeSpan.cs: some formatting and added the [Serializable] attribute

2002-02-26  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * WeakReference.cs: Committed for Ajay Kumar Dwivedi.   

2002-02-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * TimeZone.cs: Use an internal enum rather than magic numbers to access the
        fields of the interncall GetTimeZoneData.

        * DateTime.cs: Implemented Parse and fixed a few bugs.

        * String.cs (TrimStart): Small fix.

2002-02-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * DateTime.cs: ParseExact is now fully functional.

        * String.cs (TrimEnd): Small fix.

2002-02-26  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * TimeSpan.cs: Added method TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds, mysteriously 
        missing for about six months.

Tue Feb 26 14:21:19 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * UInt64.cs: fixed Parse method () to handle some of the NumberStyle flags.

2002-02-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * DateTime.cs: Miguel already committed this, but there was still a
        ChangeLog entry for this missing ....
        We're now reusing functionality from TimeSpan, printing dates is
        fully implemented, currently working on parsing.

        * TimeZone.cs: Fully implemented this. There's a new InternCall in the
        runtime for this.

Fri Feb 22 18:47:08 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: disable constructor.
        * Object.cs: make GetType() an internalcall.
        * Type.cs: added correct bindingflags to GetMethods ().
        All such calls should be reviewed to use the correct flags.

Thu Feb 21 19:23:46 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs, MonoType.cs: type_is_subtype_of () changed to include extra
        argument.

Thu Feb 21 16:56:51 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: implemented IsAssignableFrom.

2002-02-21  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: fixed Guid.Guid(string) ctor. Changed format:
        "{0xdddddddd,0xdddd,0xdddd,{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd}}" 
        to "{0xdddddddd,0xdddd,0xdddd,{0xdd,0xdd,0xdd,0xdd,0xdd,0xdd}}" 
        The former is documented by Microsoft. The latter is how they
        actually implemented it in mscorlib:-)

Tue Feb 19 20:34:35 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: hooks to get the custom attributes from the
        runtime.
        * MonoType.cs: Implemented custom attributes methods.


2002-02-21  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: 

Tue Feb 19 20:34:35 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: hooks to get the custom attributes from the
        runtime.
        * MonoType.cs: Implemented custom attributes methods.

2002-02-19  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (CopyTo): use GetLength() instead of GetUpperBound() 

2002-02-19  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Finished up the missing methods in Convert. Added a
        new private method ConvertFromBase.

2002-02-19  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: impl. IConvertible interface

2002-02-18  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: actual implementation for Guid.Guid(string) Ctor

2002-02-18  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Changed from using Type.GetType (string) to just
        typeof (). Probably will speed things up a bit?         

2002-02-18  Ajay Kumar Dwivedi <AjayKumar.Dwivedi@dresdner-bank.com>

        * Array.cs:         
        1. Fix for GetUpperBound to return correct values
        2. made some Properties virtual
        3. Adds IsFixedSize and IsReadOnly properties.
        4. changes CreateInstance(Type,int[],int[]) to throw Exception
        when third arg is null. InternalCall CreateInstance changed to  
        CreateInstanceImpl
        5. Fixed array.GetUpperBound at a couple of places
        6. IndexOf and LastIndexOf now use Object.Equals instead of "=="
        7. Added two FIXME's in BinarySearch functions.

2002-02-17  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs:  Applied the rest of Ajay's patch for    
        IsDaylightSavingTime. Thanks a lot for the nice explanation of how
        it works!

2002-02-17  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: added stub for Guid(string) ctor

2002-02-17  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Near-complete implementation of Convert.cs

        Added all the To* methods taking (object) and
        (object, IFormatProvider) as parameters.

        Added [CLSCompliant (false)] attributes to methods dealing with
        unsigned types.

        Added the missing section on converting to and from DateTime. Only
        6 missing methods, all marked with MonoTODOs. Will tackle them later.           

2002-02-16  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: patch from Ajay Kumar Dwivedi (adwiv@yahoo.com) to
        make IsDaylightSavingTime (DateTime) call 
        IsDaylightSavingTime (DateTime, DaylightTime).  
        
        Added internal class CurrentTimeZone from Ajay. It needs more work
        to fill in the appropriate internal calls.
        
Sat Feb 16 12:41:41 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: fix IsClass.

Sat Feb 16 12:02:02 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: fix Trim().

Fri Feb 15 21:02:46 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: fix more off by one errors.

2002-02-09  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * First version of Guid.NewGuid

Fri Feb 8 18:06:20 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: add ToString () method

        by it in the runtime.

2002-02-08  Dan Lewis <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>
        
        * String.cs (Format): implemented

        * Enum.cs (Parse,  GetHashCode): impl. 

2002-02-05  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * DBNull.cs: This is my first crack at the DBNull class. I think I
        actually got most of the IConvertible methods right, but I haven't
        done the research to test whether or not this is the correct
        behavior. IConvertible.ToType () is the most iffy of all, IMHO.

        * DllNotFoundException.cs: Inherits from TypeLoadException, not SystemException.

2002-02-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

Tue Jan 29 22:32:36 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * _AppDomain.cs: remove ToString() method: it doesn't seem right 
        to have it in this interface and it screws up the method vtable setup.

2002-01-28  Andrei Zmievski <andrei@php.net>

        manually getting the enumerator.

        (AppDomain.AppDomain): Prime the loaded assemblies with the
        assemblies loaded by the runtime in our behalf.

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Remove private keyword, that is the default.
        Add a new property DisallowPublisherPolicy.

        * AppDomain.cs (AppDomain.GetAssemblies): Implement.

Tue Jan 22 22:51:48 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        put in the missing constructor.

        * Environment.cs: Commented out references to

        right now and has no implementation.

2002-01-16  Andrei Zmievski <andrei@php.net>

        * Environment.cs: Comment out Security attribute and put a MonoTODO
        there as a reminder.  We need mcs magic to handle security attributes in

        * UIntPtr.cs: Removed CLSCompliant attribute before the namespace,
        as it breaks the build.

2001-08-16  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Attribute.cs: implemented all methods except GetHashCode()

        * common.src: added Attribute.cs so it would compile in

2001-08-10  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: changed MemberWiseClone to MemberwiseClone, and
        marked it as InternalCall
        
        * common.src: removed UriFormatException.cs because the file is
        not there.

        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: replaced IntrPtr with IntPtr
        * Char.cs: replaced byte with char

2001-08-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Make the class sealed

2001-08-08  Bob Smith  <bob@thestuff.net>

        * Random.cs: Many compile fixes.
        * Random.cs: I read a bad spec. Class updated to match real spec.

2001-08-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Uri.cs: Add a note.

2001-08-06  Bob Smith  <bob@thestuff.net>

        * Random.cs: Compile fix. Needs more testing.

2001-08-06 Garrett Rooney <rooneg@electricjellyfish.net>

        * Uri.cs: Initial Implementation.  Parsing needs to be fixed to take 
        into account IPv6 addresses, url encoding needs to be implemented, and 
        various minor methods need to be written, but this is a decent start.

2001-08-06  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * common.src: added Object.cs

        * mono.src: added ValueType.cs

        * DateTime.cs: Cleaned up a bit. Added the Add* family members.
        Added exceptions. Added IConvertible. Still needs some platform 
        dependend stuff, the Parse and ToString members

2001-08-01  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs (GetTypeFromHandle): added placeholder 

2001-07-24  Derek Holden  <dholden@draper.com>

        * Boolean.cs: Formatted to code style standard. Added GetTypeCode
        which is really an IConvertible defined method.

        * Byte.cs: Added a missing Parse method. Put in Parse and ToString
        behavior, still need to do the main Parse and ToString.

        * Char.cs: Added a bunch of missing ECMA methods. Commented a
        specification discrepency. Still didn't any unicode stuff, though
        every IsFoo(char c) method has an IsFoo(string, index)
        counterpart, added wrappers for those.
        
        * Convert.cs: Fixed NaN/Inf checking and double/float
        rounding. Added ToType for IConvertible classes

        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.
        
        * Single.cs: Put in ECMA epsilon value. Added IsInfinity / IsNaN
        methods. Changed Inf/NaN internals.

        * SByte.cs: Added a missing Parse method. Put in Parse and
        ToString behavior, still need to do the main Parse and ToString.

        * UInt16.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * UInt32.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for

        * ParamArrayAttribute.cs: New file.

        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: New file.

        * MulticastDelegate.cs: Added.

        * DateTime.cs: Added

        * Delegate.cs: Added

2001-07-18  Michael Lambert <michaellambert@email.com>

        * AttributeTargets.cs: Add.

2001-07-19  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs: Made ToUpper and ToLower public methods.

        * String.cs: Lots and lots of compile fixes - just need to write
        DateTime.cs and this should build completely now.

2001-07-19  Bob Smith (bob@thestuff.net)

        * Math.cs: Implemented. 

2001-07-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Removed tolower and toupper.

        * Char.cs: Moved ToLower and ToUpper from string to here. 

        * Convert.cs ToByte (float value), ToByte (double value) Use IsNan
        instead of comparing the value to Nan.

2001-07-19  Duco Fijma (duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl)

        * TimeSpan.cs: New implementation.

2001-07-18  Scott Sanders <scott@stonecobra.com>

         * UriFormatExcpetion.cs: Add - 85% complete

2001-07-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (IndexOf): Slight optimization that allows skipping
        over a few chars here and there. This isn't as good as using my
        Boyer-Moore implementation, however, Boyer-Moore is only really
        good for long strings (I plan on making the code decide which
        string search algorithm it should use on-the-fly at some point).
        (LastIndexOf): Fix to work correctly.
        (BoyerMoore): Took out some unneeded code and fixed an edge-case.

2001-07-16  Michael Lambert <michaellambert@email.com>

        * EventArgs.cs: Add.
        
2001-07-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Remove my buggy comment.

2001-07-15  Sean MacIsaac  <macisaac@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Spelling error of IComparable, object's
        MemberwiseClone cannot be overridden.  Made indexer valid for now,
        but not sure what to do about this in the long run.  Seems to be a
        couple bugs in csc.exe having to do with multiple pointer defs in
        the same statement, and returning subclasses of a class in the
        return type of an interface function implementation.  Also moved
        operators inside of class definition.

2001-07-14  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: A tom of compile fixes, although we still don't compile.

        * IConvertible.cs: The To*Int64() methods return *Int64's, not
        *Int32's. Also, it's ToDateTime() not ToDateType().

2001-07-14  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Apparently I needed to at least write stubs for the
        IConvertible interfaces. *sigh*

2001-07-14  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Many logic/other fixes and better usage of the
        features of c#
        (tolower): New convenience method to help condense code.
        (toupper): Another new helper method.
        (Compare): Use the new helper methods.
        (ToLower): use tolower().
        (ToUpper): use toupper().
        (LastIndexOfAny): Implemented.
        (BoyerMoore): New private helper method that implements a modified
        version of the Boyer-Moore search algorithm. Noothing uses it yet
        as I'm not 100% sure it even works properly with unicode strings
        not to mention it uses a huge lookup-table :-)
        (Split): Implemented.

2001-07-13  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * TODO: Added things that need to be finished in System.String

        * String.cs: New source file implementing the System.String class

        IFormatProvider.

        * Exception.cs: Added a using statement to remove compile time
        error.

        * ApplicationException.cs: Removed a ; that was causing a compiler
        error.

        * Int16.cs: Fixed some compiler errors.

        * Int32.cs: Fixed some compiler errors.

        * Int64.cs: Fixed some compiler errors.

        * UInt32.cs: Fixed some compiler errors.

        * UInt64.cs: Fixed some compiler errors.

        * Void.cs: Fixed a compiler error.      

2001-07-12  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fix backwards parameters to Array.SetValue()
        throughout.
        (BinarySearch): Fix backward logic surrounding whether to call
        value.CompareTo or comparer.Compare.
        (LastIndexOf): Stop being stupid. I am so not used to strongly
        bounded arrays...
        (Sort): Implement a quicksort.

2001-07-11  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Change all instances of trying to access an array with
        the index operator to calls to GetValue and SetValue, and add
        InternalGetValue and InternalSetValue which are internal calls
        into the runtime. Ew.

2001-07-10  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Implemented everything but Sort().

2001-07-09  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs (Object::Equals): Object variable name is `o'.

2001-07-06  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Int16.cs, Int32.cs, Int64.cs, UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs:
        Implement the IComparable and IFormattable interfaces. Fix a typo
        (publig -> public)

        * ApplicationException.cs, ArgumentException.cs,
        ArgumentNullException.cs, ArgumentOutOfRangeException.cs,
        ArtithmeticException.cs, ArrayTypeMismatchException.cs,
        DivideByZeroException.cs, DuplicateWaitObjectException.cs,

        OutOfMemoryException.cs, OverflowException.cs, RankException.cs,
        StackOverflowException.cs, SystemException.cs,
        TypeInitializationException.cs: Added all of the exceptions
        specified by the language spec. Mmmm... bloat.

2001-07-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Int64.cs, Int32.cs: Put.  Parsing and ToString missing.  Should
        do a generic routine all of these guys use.

        * Int16.cs: identified missing methods.

        * UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs: Add.
