2010-04-25  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Support custom formats in ToString().

2010-04-23  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * Lazy.cs: Include in Moonlight build.

2010-04-22  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: The final 4.0 release removed the restriction of
        preceding zeroes when parsing, and it also added 't' and 'T' as valid
        formats equivalent to 'c' (default).

2010-04-16 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs (GetInterface): Compare against the name
        of the generic type definition.

        Fixes #484246.

2010-04-16 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs (GetBasePropertyDefinition): Use
        GetBaseMethod instead of GetMethodDefinition otherwise
        we skip intermediate overloads.

        Fixes #499569.

2010-04-16  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Ensure elevated trust when calling
        GetFolderPath on Moonlight

2010-04-16  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Action.cs: SL4 moved some Action in mscorlib
        * Funcs.cs: SL4 moved some Func<> in mscorlib
        * String.cs: Make IsNullOrWhiteSpace available, internally, 
        before NET_4_0 (or SL4) since it's proving useful.

2010-04-15  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * Guid.cs: rework the Guid parser to implement the net_4_0
        [Try]ParseExact methods.

2010-04-15  Jérémie Laval  <jeremie.laval@gmail.com>

        * Tuple.cs:
        * Tuples.cs: Add BOOTSTRAP_NET_4_0 define

2010-04-13 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: Raise an exception if the runtime
        returned a null cattr.

2010-04-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToInt32): Do a checked cast. Fixes #596339.

2010-04-12  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Implement support for custom formats parsing. This
        should as well include the bits required to easily implement the same
        for ToString methods, when the final release fixes the mess we found
        in the latest beta.

2010-04-08 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: Add ResolveInternal virtual call that
        resolves a given type to it's concrete type.

2010-03-07 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs (GetInfo): Don't use isinst tests as they can
        return true for both signed and unsigned version of a
        primitive type.

        * Enum.cs (FindPosition): Ditto.

2010-04-06  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs: Don't make read-only collection read-only.

2010-03-31  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * UInt32.cs, Int64.cs, UInt64.cs: cope with the case that the
        IFormatProvider is not a NumberFormatInfo, preventing a crash.
        This was already handled by Int32.cs, but these other routines
        were never properly updated. 

        Fixes #588356

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: Add support for format K in DateTimeOffset,
        fixes bug 589227.

        * DateTime.cs: Add serialization support, fixes #588198.

        Perhaps we should change the format as well since this is the new
        format serialized anyways (see bug 592221, it saves 4 bytes of
        memory as well)

2010-03-30  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * InvalidTimeZoneException.cs
        * TimeZoneNotFoundException.cs:
                Fix Moonlight since these types now reside in mscorlib
                (instead of System.Core) for NET_4_0 and also for SL4

2010-03-30  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs: let the binder reorder arguments when invoking
        params methods.
        * Activator.cs (CreateInstance): use BindToMethod instead of
        SelectMethod to make sure that params constructors are properly called.

        Fixes #591877

2010-03-29  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Implement all the overloads of both TryParseExact and
        ParseExact methods, by detecting the specific semantic changes in the
        parse process, so we can properly re-utilize our new approach. This
        included indicating our parser its culture sensitiveness, usage of colon as
        day separator fallback or as a precise separator, and other minor bits.
        We are only missing composite parsing right now.

2010-03-29  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Add new (FX4 and SL4) SetCompatibilitySwitches
        method (empty is good enough for moonlight testing)
        * Environment.cs: Expose MyVideos in Moonlight build

2010-03-26  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: We always give higher precedence to the first found
        error, but for versions before 4.0 we need to give a higher one to
        per-element overflow *specifically* (as opposed to int32 overflow,
        which remains the same). This is not needed for 4.0, so report
        per-element overflow as a normal error. 
        This should fix a compatibility case, as well as simplifying the code.

2010-03-25 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * MonoAsyncCall.cs: remove unused field.
        * Delegate.cs: add new IsTransparentProxy property.
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: add new HasSingleTarget property.
        * Environment.cs: bump up corlib version.

2010-03-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Add new properties that are in both FX4 and SL4
        since Moonlight needs them (for testing purpose).
        * Environment.cs: FailFast overloads are present in SL4 (and also
        needed for testing Moonlight)

2010-03-24  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Change default value from null to false for new
        (NET_4_0 and SL4) IsCompatibilitySwitchSet. Not sure when (or even
        if) it can return null (at least not when testing SL4 RC). 
        Fix DRT198

2010-03-22  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: When parsing ticks, we used to only parse
        the first 7 digits, and more than that would cause a FormatException -
        starting in 4.0 we need to throw an OverflowException, however. Also,
        for hours/minutes/seconds, two or more preceding zeroes will cause an
        OverflowException as well.

2010-03-22  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Create a new Parser.Execute method for 4.0 -and use the
        previous impl for 2.0-, to handle the new semantics gracefully -
        specifically the new 'dd:hh:mm:ss' format and related bits, instead of
        of a ton of #ifdef blocks. Remove any 4.0 bits from the previous
        version as well, to keep it clean.

2010-03-19  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Move the error detection code to a separate method.
        This way depending on the version we decide what error takes
        precedence: OverlowException in 2.0, and FormatException in 4.0. This
        also lets us keep the Execute() code cleaner and easier to understand.

2010-03-18  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Put the error info in a single field, to make it easier
        to preserve the very first error we get while parsing, and discard the
        next ones. This will help us in a pair of cases where we were
        overriding the previous error and reporting the wrong exception.

2010-03-17  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: SL4 includes new IsNullOrWhiteSpace and Concat/Join 
        overloads.

2010-03-17  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: TimeSpan is actually implementing IFormattable.

2010-03-17  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Added MonoTODO for IsCompatibilitySwitchSet.

2010-03-16  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: In 4.0 the Parse/TryParse methods always try to use its
        associated CultureInfo.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator value, as well as
        providing backwards compatibility by also supporting '.' as the
        separator.

2010-03-16  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs
        * Tuple.cs
        * ChangeLog
        * Exception.cs
        * String.cs
        * Console.cs
        * Tuples.cs
        * Activator.cs
        * AppDomain.cs:
                Use MOONLIGHT symbol to disambiguate MonoTouch and Moonlight code.

2010-03-16  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs: Added a few 4.0 api to Moonlight.

2010-03-16  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Added IsCompatibilitySwitchSet for .NET 4.0 and Moonlight.

2010-03-15  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: In 4.0 if the part parsed as days exceeds the allowed
        range -this is, 23-, then it is processed as days instead - opposed to
        2.0, where we are throwing an OverflowException.

2010-03-15  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Make the colon parsing optional -and adjust the name to
        reflect it-, so we can properly parse the case where we only have the
        hours and minutes. This subtle bug was hidden before, since a string
        such "10:12" would be parsed correctly, but "10:12  " (trailing white
        space) was getting a FormatException.

2010-03-12  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Tuple.cs, Tuples.cs: Add them to NET_2_1 since they are parts
        of SL4

2010-03-08  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Implement 4.0 overloads of TryParse/Parse.

2010-03-08  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Implement 4.0 ToString overloads.

2010-03-06 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * UIntPtr.cs: Remove some v4 custom attributes that were
        on Beta2 but aren't there on RC.

2010-03-05  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Implement correctly the TryParse method, instead of
        using a try/catch block.

2010-03-04 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs : Fix for bug #574696: don't recurse into base types in GetMember when
        getting properties.
        Patch by Eberhard Beilharz <eb1@sil.org>

2010-03-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Disable the fast double2decimal code, and go back to
        string parsing as there is a rounding/precision bug.

                //
                // We cant use the double2decimal method
                // because it incorrectly turns the floating point
                // value 1.23456789E-25F which should be:
                //    0.0000000000000000000000001235
                // into the incorrect:
                //   0.0000000000000000000000001234
                //
                //    The code currently parses the double value 0.6 as
                //    0.600000000000000
                //
                // And we have a patch for that called (trim

2010-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs (Equals): Better version that does less
        trips to runtime land.

2010-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs: Add v4 security properties.

2010-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: Add v4 security properties.

2010-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: Fix identation.

2010-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Activator.cs: : Implement new v4 overloads and [Obsolete].

2010-03-03 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Add bunch of trivial overloads.

2010-03-01 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * TypeSpec.cs: New file. Managed code implementation of type name
        parsing.

        * Type.cs: Implement new v4 overloads of GetType.

2010-03-01  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs (CreateArray): Disallow creation of arrays of unfinished types.

2010-03-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs (DoParse): patch from Tom Philpot, while using
        TryParse if s is null, we should return false, not crash.

2010-02-28 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: Forgot a pair of #if NET_4_0.

2010-02-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Decimal.cs: If the NumberFormatInfo is broken and contains the
        same character for grouping than is used for decimals, the decimal
        separator gets a priority.  This issue was exposed by the
        Silverlight Test suite.

        Allow null trailing characters when parsing, this is valid in
        .NET: "5\0" and "5\0\0\0\0", but "5\05" is not.

        * Decimal.cs: Enabling the unmanaged double to decimal and float
        to decimal conversions code again as I am unable to find any
        regressions in corlib, System.Data, the Silverlight test suite or
        Rotor's test suite.

        I am enabling it hoping that we can find the original problem that
        lead us to use the slow path.

2010-02-27 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * AggregateException.cs: Fix ctor vibility.

        * Type.cs: IsEnum and IsSerializable are virtual
        properties now.

        * Tuple.cs: Fix Tuple'8 Create method.

2010-02-27 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * UIntPtr.cs: Add some v4 custom attributes.

2010-02-27 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

2010-02-23 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: Use the right kind of annotations.

2010-02-23 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs:  Implement new v4 GetEnumNames ().

2010-02-22 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs:  Implement new v4 GetEnumUnderlyingType ().

2010-02-22 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: Implement new v4 GetTypeCodeImpl ().

2010-02-19 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: Implement new v4 behavior for Equals.
        
Fri Feb 19 09:05:36 CET 2010 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

2010-02-11 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs: Implement GetCustomAttributesData.

2010-02-06  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs (SetupInformationNoCopy): make this internal for
        moonlight.

2010-02-02  Jérémie Laval  <jeremie.laval@gmail.com>

        * AggregateException.cs:
        * OperationCanceledException.cs: Port to .NET 4 beta 2 API

2010-01-31  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Enum.cs: Fix a warning.

2010-01-29  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Version.cs: Implement Parse and TryParse.

2010-01-28  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: LoadSatellite: add a boolean parameter specifiying
        whether we should throw on exceptions or not.

2010-01-28  Rolf Bjarne Kvinge  <RKvinge@novell.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: TryParse: Handle null values to not throw ANEs.

2010-01-25 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * Array.cs: updates to the API from beta2.
        * _AppDomain.cs: no GetLifeTimeService() in 4.0

2010-01-25  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Enum.cs: Implement TryParse and do the required refactoring of our
        Parse method to support it.

2010-01-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Single.cs : parse MaxValue and PositiveInfinity as expected.
          Patch by Tiaan Geldenhuys.

2010-01-21  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Activator.cs: When calling CreateInstance() and no default .ctor is
        found for the type, don't pass the member argument to the
        MissingMethodException, to have a better and simpler error message.
        Fixes #396986.

2010-01-20 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * Tuples.cs: explicitly implement IStructural*.

2010-01-17  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * UInt64.cs: Implement a lightweight version of the Parse method for
        the overload that does not take IFormatProvider/NumberStyle
        parameters - this gets us a nice speed up, just like we do for the
        other number types.
        Fixes #338022.

2010-01-15 Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Array.cs: Implement IStructuralComparer.

2010-01-15  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Int32.cs: In Parse() cast the parsed value to long *before* changing
        its sign - this way we preserve the original value, instead of
        accidentally changing it. This was happening parsing _exactly_
        MaxValue + 1.
        Fixes #475815.

2010-01-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : In AddMilliseconds(), it seems fractional
          milliseconds are first rounded and then added.

2010-01-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs : preserve fractions (it is somehow dropped).

2010-01-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs : no need to preserve old code.

2010-01-12  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs : AllowLeading/TrailingWhite should also check those
          surrounding string constants such as "NaN".

2010-01-11  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Int32.cs: Implement support for exponent in the Parse methods.
        Fixes #542464.

2010-01-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * GC.cs: Add stubs for new net 4.0 methods.

2010-01-07  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs (.MemberType): return the proper member type
        for generic parameters.

        string length that's not put in the LOS.

        * StringBuilder.cs: Copy the string also if it's in the LOS and
        chopping it would bring its size below the LOS limit.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2009-12-03  Stephane Delcroix  <stephane@delcroix.org>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: fix dates arithmetic to avoid throwing

        * Array.cs (CreateInstance): do not allow void arrays.

2009-11-23  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs: When sorting and we are sorting value types implementing
        IComparable<T>, use its corresponding Comparer<T>.Default helper. 
        This way we avoid casting our values to IComparable<T>, and thus we 
        avoid *all* the boxing for them. Using Comparer<T>.Default seems to be
        slower for reference types, so we don't use it for those ones.

2009-11-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Environment (IsUnix): expose this common property, so we avoid
        duplicating code.

        * Type.cs: Fix Make(Array|ByRef|Pointer)Type to not crash
        with user types. 

        * Type.cs (MakeGenericType): Don't crash with user types.

        * Type.cs (GetGenericParameterConstraints): Don't crash with user types.

        - Sort(keys, items,..) with items == null call Sort(keys,..) siblings
        Add missing argument checks. Add SortImpl method to be used by
        List<T>.Sort(Comparison <T>).

        Part 3 of 3 fixing bug #351638.

2009-11-08  Juraj Skripsky  <js@hotfeet.ch>

        * Array.cs (Sort): Add and call
        - SortImpl methods which do the real work without argument checking
        - MoveNullKeysToFront methods which do a null <-> non-null sorting and
        ensure that all non-null object implement IComparable/IComparable<T>

        Part 2 of 3 fixing bug #351638.

2009-11-08  Juraj Skripsky  <js@hotfeet.ch>

        * Array.cs (Sort): optimize qsort by employing multiple, faster copies
        of the inner-most loops:
        - for case "comparer != null"
        - for case "pivot is IComparable<T>"
        - for case "pivot is IComparable"
        Remove compare methods as the inner loops now do their work.
        Use GetValueImpl instead of GetValue in swap.

        Part 1 of 3 fixing bug #351638.

2009-11-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (CheckWindowDimensions) Avoid extra checks, as

        GetCorrespondingInflated[Constructor|Method]

2009-10-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: In InitializeLifetimeService, if a lease
        exists for the object return it, instead of always creating

        Remove NET_1_0 only code
        Remove NET_2_0 defines assuming the value is true.

        Improve one MonoTODO;   Implement one MonoTODO/Niex.

        Ran a textual diff on the resulting assembly to validate that the
        restul is the same on NET_2_0

        Moonlight.
        * ValueType.cs: Change InternalEquals (icall) visibility to 
        private since it is not used elsewhere outside the type.

        * AppDomain.cs: Remove NET_2_1 specific DefineDynamicAssembly(
        AssemblyName,AssemblyBuilderAccess,bool) since it is not part
        of SL. Provide a ToString implementation similar to Silverlight
        for Moonlight (and without directly using an icall)

2009-10-04  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Check for static AppDomainInitializer earlier to
        throw the appropriate exception instead of failing at
        serialization.

2009-10-04  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Functionality for serializing a few members

        necessary members in preparation for the cross-domain copy.

        * Value types implementing IConvertible.ToType now throw an
        ArgumentNullException if they are passed a null as the
        "targetType" argument.

        This code can not be put directly in the Convert.ToType method, as
        this method is used by Convert.ToType (object o, TypeCode tc)
        which uses null as a target to throw a different kind of error
        (InvalidCastException).

        Fixes a few more bugs in the Silverlight BCL test suite.

        Additionally, the parameter type has been renamed.

2009-07-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

2009-06-26 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: if the DateTimeOffset is out of bounds, let Parse
        report the error. Fix stupid harmless typo.
        * DateTimeOffset.cs: report error if the UTC date/time is out of
        bounds.

2009-06-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Array.cs: IList.this needs to throw IndexOutOfRangeException
        when the index is invalid, not ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

        * Int32.cs: Do not crash if the FormatProvider returns a null
        value on the call to GetFormat (Type).

        Validate the NumberStyles, passes Int/Int32Parse2.exe

        Fix regression introduced in 2005, we need to throw
        ArgumentNullException on Parse.

2009-06-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        when adjusting for TZ.

2009-06-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: ensure we are initialized in CheckWindowDimensions().
        * DateTimeOffset.cs: Implement Parse().
        * DateTime.cs: add 'zzz' to the list of default time formats. Return a
        DateTimeOffset from _DoParse. Fixed the offset minutes when the
        timezone is specified as a negative one.
        * Console.cs: updates for MoveBufferArea().
        * AppDomainManager.cs: implement EntryAssembly.
        * AppDomain.cs: update attribute.

2009-06-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs : bump corlib version.

2009-06-12  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * Variant.cs (GetValue):  Changing the bool case to use the short value.  
          This is to avoid junk in the high word.

2009-06-10  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * Predicate.cs, Action.cs, Funcs.cs, Comparison.cs, IComparable.cs,
        Converter.cs, EventHandler.cs: Add type variance.
        
        * InvalidTimeZoneException.cs,
        TimeZoneNotFoundException.cs: New file.

2009-05-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * AppDomain.cs (DoAssemblyResolve): Fix recursion detection. Fixes #507003.

2009-05-26  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * Thread.cs: Don't set the execution context when creating a
        thread because the _ec member is thread static and we set the
        wrong one.  It's now set by the runtime.  We just provide the
        correct one.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2009-05-22  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Tuple.cs Tuples.cs: New files.

        * Lazy.cs LazyExecutionMode.cs Funcs.cs: New files.

2009-05-14 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * Type.cs: (GetInterfaceMap) 'this' can't be an interface itself.
        Fixed bug #503728.

2009-05-03 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: replace Peek with DataAvailable.

2009-05-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: Remove Windows-specific p/invokes and SSC code
        from the NET_2_1 build.

2009-05-01  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainManager.cs: Fix base class for NET_2_1 and implement
        CheckSecuritySettings (added in 2.0SP and part of SL API)

2009-04-29 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs: return the value as an enum of the right type.

2009-04-28 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs: avoid exceptions from ToObject and use Try* instead.

2009-04-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: Use the new StreamReader.DataAvailable to
        load all the data that was added into the `stdin' stream when we
        did the `Read'.

2009-04-24  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: #ifdef out code that use the registry for the 
        NET_2_1 profile and some other properties (2) that added
        [SecuritySafeCritical] methods to audit inside Moonlight.

2009-04-21  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2009-04-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: Prevent race condition if two threads try to
        initialize the Console at the same time. 

        What happens is that inited is set, and elsewhere we try to
        dereference native_terminal_size before it is set.

        * Reduce code size by using a table instead of manually making a
        few hundred calls.
        
2009-04-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs (MonoEnumInfo): Compare bytes, shorts, ints and longs as
        unsigned values as specified and to fix 371559, from the bug:

                So the actual difference is that MSFT's Enum.GetValues
                orders the members as unsigned even when the underlying
                type is int.  See the following.  Perhaps that's what's
                being implied by "binary values" in that Enum.GetValues
                MSDN quote above.

2009-04-18  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * NumberFormatter.cs: Keep the current thread's number formatter
        as a ThreadStatic member.

2009-04-18  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2009-04-12 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * GCNotificationStatus.cs: new enum.

2009-04-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs: Make some of the InternalArray methods non-generic to cut down
        on the number of instantiations. Add implementation for 
        ICollection:IsReadOnly.

2009-03-26  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * Delegate.cs (CreateDelegate): Support for delegates
        on static methods closed on a null target.

2009-03-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2009-03-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: Add new parameter to CreateDelegate_internal (icall)
        * Environment.cs: Bump mono_corlib_version to 73

2009-03-25  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * Delegate.cs (CreateDelegate): fix checks to deal with
        valuetypes -> obj conversions for arguments, and avoid
        issues with such unallowed conversion for return types.

2009-03-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * String.cs (LastIndexOf): Handle empty strings correctly. Fixes #486234.

2009-03-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Type.cs (GetGenericTypeDefinition): Make this throw an exception to be
        consistent with MS.NET. Move the real implementation to MonoType.

2009-03-18  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Initialize all fields.

2009-03-16 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * ConsoleDriver.cs:
        * TermInfoDriver.cs: handle Ctrl-D (or similar) in ReadLine.
        Fixes bug #483950.

        * ControlCharacters.cs: index to the control characters list.
        * Environment.cs: bumped corlib version.

2009-03-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Control whether this internal function will
        call an IConvertible.ToType method or not.  

        Classes and structs implementing IConvertible in mscorlib (the
        only callers that can access Convert.ToType) must pass false to
        avoid a infinite recursion problem and callers from the public
        Convert API must call it with true.

        This fixes the regression reported in #485377 that was introduced
        by the fix for #481687.

        * Int16.cs, UInt64.cs, Double.cs, Enum.cs, SByte.cs, UInt16.cs,
        Byte.cs, Decimal.cs, Int32.cs, String.cs, Int64.cs, Char.cs,
        Boolean.cs, Single.cs, UInt32.cs: Update the call sites.

2009-03-07  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Convert.cs: Do not throw InvalidCastException if
        IConvertible.ToType returns null.

2009-03-06  Andrés G. Aragoneses  <aaragoneses@novell.com>

        * Convert.cs: Correct typo in exception message.

2009-03-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Convert.cs: Apply patch from Tom Hindle that uses
        IConvertible.ToType if there are no other possible conversions
        defined. 

        Fixes: #481687 

2009-03-06  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs (MonoTypeInfo): Add default_ctor field.

        * MonoType.cs: Add GetDefaultConstructor that caches using
        type_info.default_ctor.

        * MonoType.cs (FullName): Protects against type_info been replaced
        under the hood.

        * Activator.cs (CreateInstance): If the type is a MonoType resolve the
        default constructor using the new method from MonoType.

        Improves Activator::CreateInstance performance by at least 30%, reduces object churn
        and domain lock contention.

2009-03-03  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Guid.cs (BaseToString): Reduce allocations.

2009-03-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2009-03-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs (IsDefined): If the enum underlying type is int32, use
        the generic version, which doesn't box every element of the array.

2009-03-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs (GetName): If the enum underlying type is int32, use
        the generic version, which doesn't box every element of the array.

2009-03-02  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs (MonoEnumInfo::GetInfo): Share the boxed form of the
        MonoEnumInfo between both caches.

2009-02-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Enum.cs (FindName): Use a hash table for looking up names instead of
        a linear search for enums with a lot of values.

2009-02-27  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * UInt16.cs (CompareTo/short): Make it return the
        same values as the /object version.

        * Enum.cs (CompareTo): Use new compare_value_to icall to do the comparison.
        This avoids two allocations and reduce the number of trips to unmanaged land
        by one.

        The performance improvement is up to 3.5x with the bonus of reducing the generated
        garbage.

2009-02-26  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * Nullable.cs: Inline GetValueOrDefault.

2009-02-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * String.cs (FormatHelper): If all the arguments are strings, compute an
        initial length for the stringbuilder to avoid reallocations.

        * MonoType.cs (FullName): Cache the result of this in a field, as
        computing it is expensive.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.
        
2009-02-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Enum.cs (GetInfo): Add a global cache in addition to the thread-local
        caches to accomodate short living threads like threadpool threads.

2009-02-23  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Type.cs: Add IsUserType internal property.

2009-02-21  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs (InvokeMember): don't pass a null args to
        Binder.BindToMethod. Fix for #471275.

2009-02-12  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * Exception.cs: Rename remote_stack_trace for MS.NET
        compatibility. Fixes #425512.

2009-02-12  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: Implemented MemberwiseClone(bool).

2009-02-10 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: this fixes the remoting tests.
        Zoltan found out that there was a domain improperly using shadow
        copy.

2009-02-04 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: check for null and empty strings before anything else
        in CoreParse.

2009-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Type.cs (GetHashCode): Work on UnderlyingSystemType. Fixes #467229.

2009-01-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Variant.cs ApplicationIdentity.cs ActivationContext.cs Environment.cs
        AppDomain.cs: Fix warnings.

2009-01-24 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: LoadAssembly() returns null instead of throwing now.
        Add new LoadSatellite method.

2009-01-20  Mark Probst  <mark.probst@gmail.com>

        * Exception.cs: Added a comment explaining the use of trace_ips.

2009-01-12  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * Variant.cs (GetValue):  Handling the NULL IDispatch 
          and IUnknown case.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2009-01-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Implement TryParse in a way that will not depend on
        the try/catch statement.   The try/catch statement is still there
        *just in case*, I might have missed some codepaths.

2009-01-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : when ".FF..." is specified, allow milliseconds-less
          time. Fix #444103.

2008-12-19  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * Environment.cs (GetEnvironmentVariable) :  Avoiding an nre if 
          the variable is not set.

        * Environment.cs (SetEnvironmentVariable) : Adding a call to 
          internalBroadcastSettingChange to notify Windows that an environment 
          variable has changed.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-12-18  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * String.cs: the Compare methods that were specific to SL2 are now
        also in .net 2/3.5 sp1.

2008-12-10  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * Variant.cs (SetValue):   Changing the behavior for COM object in 
          VARIANTs to match MS.  Also adding support for BStrWrapper, 
          UnknownWrapper, and DispatchWrapper.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-11-28  Miguel De Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: Also register a mapping to make verase be the
        backspace key.  Funny thing: verase was fetched from the termios,
        but it was *never* actually used in this file.

        VSUSP and VINTR are likewise ignored.   Must ponder this.

        This makes the backspace key in MacOS work on interactive
        applications.
        
2008-11-15  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@gmail.com>

        * Convert.cs: Removed useless check from ToChar (ushort).

2008-11-06  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * Type.cs (FindMembers):  Changing the instantiated type of the 
          returned MemberInfo array to match the MemberTypes flag
          passed in argument 1.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

Mon Nov 3 16:39:37 CET 2008 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: in the IList set_Item, ensure the array
        element is set using the proper type checks (bug #440819).

Mon Oct 13 16:40:56 CEST 2008 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs, OperatingSystem.cs: complete support for
        PlatformID (bug #433108).

2008-10-08 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: (Load(AssemblyName)) Use the CodeBase after the Name
        when both are provided.
        Fixes bug #322228.

2008-10-08  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * Variant.cs : Adding the BRECORD field to ensure the right size on
          a 64-bit OS.  32-bit 16 bytes, 32-bit 24 bytes.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-10-08  Bill Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * Variant.cs : Cleaning up some tab formatting problems.

        Contributed under MIT/X11 license.

2008-10-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * PlatformID.cs: Define Xbox/MacOSX on the 2.0 profile too, since it
        is part of NET 3.5 SP1.

2008-10-07  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * Math.cs: implemented the away from zero rounding for the Round
        (double, int, MidpointRounding) overload.

2008-10-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Activator.cs (CreateInstance): Don't return the return value of the
        ctor.Invoke (object, ...) overload since it is null, return 'newOb' instead.

Mon Oct 6 15:12:25 CEST 2008 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: better message when keys cannot be compared
        when sorting (bug #368455).

2008-09-29  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs (MakeGenericType): Only use UnderlyingSystemType for user types.
        This must exclude TypeBuilder and EnumBuilder. Fixes #430508.

2008-09-28  Juraj Skripsky  <js@hotfeet.ch>

        * String.cs (ReplaceUnchecked): Avoid any unnecessary work and 
        string allocations by returning early when no oldValue was found.

2008-09-24  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * Double.cs: check whether decimal_separator, group_separator and
        currency_symbol strings aren't empty before trying to index them
        in Parse ().

2008-09-24  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs (CreateDomain): call the domain initializer in
        the newly created AppDomain. Fixes #429545.

2008-09-24  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: implement the CreateDomain overload which
        takes an AppDomain initializer. Fixes #429545.

2008-09-17  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * DelegateSerializationHolder.cs: Starting with .NET 2.0, delegates
        of non-public methods are allowed to be serialized. Fixes #425345.

2008-09-15  Andy Hume  <andyhume32@yahoo.co.uk>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: DateTimeOffset currently has no
        deserialization constructor, thus deserialization
        fails ("SerializationException: The constructor to deserialize an
        object of type System.DateTimeOffset was not found.")

        Patch attached, implements GetObjectData and that constructor.
        Also includes tests, which include round-tripping to/from MSFT.

2008-09-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * ConsoleDriver.cs: Remove obsolete GetTtySize icall.

        on the keyboard.   

2008-08-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * New console features are used by gmcs.exe, but since we only
        build gmcs.exe with the bootstrap corlib, we need to ensure all
        the new stuff is included in BOOTSTRAP_NET_2_0

2008-08-26  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * AppDomain.cs (get_Evidence): Fix endless recursion exposed
        by the test case of bug #420197.

2008-08-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (GetKeyFromBuffer): Add support for reporting
        Alt-LETTER sequences.   They were ignored previously.

2008-08-22  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Remove IAppDomainSetup for SL2. This helps
        the tuner since the methods are then defined correctly (wrt to the
        implicit implementation of the interfaces)/

2008-08-21  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 

        * Nullable.cs: Add two ComVisible(false) for SL2 profile.
        * PlatformID.cs: Add Xbox and MacOX for SL2 profile.

        keypadXmit string.

2008-08-16  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Exception.cs: Fixed value of HResult to match MS. Added support for
        (de)serializing Data. Use deserialized ClassName, if available, to
        when name of type is used.

2008-08-10  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * IServiceProvider.cs: Added ComVisible attribute (1.0 only).
        * String.cs: Fixed argument names to match MS.

2008-08-10  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        args. On 1.0 profile, throw COMException to match MS and to allow
        our unit tests to pass on MS.

2008-01-13  Eyal Alaluf <eyala@mainsoft.com>

        * NumberFormatter.cs: Check in redesigned implementation. Improves
          double.ToString performance by 2-3 orders of magnitude and other
          primitive numeric types ToString performance.
        * NumberFormatter.jvm.cs: The TARGET_JVM managed tables for NumberFormatter
          class for reuse if a completely managed NumberFormatter is required.
        * Int16.cs UInt64.cs Double.cs UInt16.cs SByte.cs Byte.cs TimeSpan.cs

2008-01-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Delegate.cs: Implement argument checking in CreateDelegate(Type,object,MethodInfo)
        method. Make the CreateDelegate(Type,MethodInfo) overload calls this version.
        Fixes #352805.

2008-01-10  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: chain the Parse* methods together.

2008-01-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : revert the previous fix. It caused regression on
          the buildbot.

2008-01-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : fixed bug #352210. Kind is unspecified by default,
          while the tick is for local time by default. This fix also involved
          special x509 handling.

2008-01-08  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs (LastIndexOf<T>): Fixed bound checking.

        AssemblyName.Name to DefineDynamicAssembly overloads. Loosely based on
        patch provided by Cedric Vivier. Fixes bug #349272.

2007-12-20  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: set [Min|Max]Value to UTC. Fixes #349621.

2007-12-19  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

2007-12-18  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: implementing the 4 ToString overloads by reusing
        large chunks of System.DateTime code.

2007-12-16  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

2007-12-16  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: almost complete implementation, still missing the
        Parse* and ToString methods.

2007-12-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * AppDomain.cs (DoAssemblyResolve): Fix detection of whenever there is a
        reflection-only assembly resolve hook.

2007-12-10  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: partial implementation. no longer just a stub.

2007-11-21  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs : filled 2.0 API (extra ones are from 2.0 SP1).
        * ContextMarshalException.cs : obsolete in 2.0.

2007-11-21  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs : Added MemberwiseClose() stub.
          GetLifetimeService() is not virtual (in both 2.0 and 1.1).
        * Console.cs : implemented missing 2.0 key members.

2007-11-18  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Enum.cs: Provided ParamName of Argument(Null)Exceptions. Rewrote
        some exception messages.

2007-11-16  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AppDomain.cs: Added some obsolete messages.

2007-11-15  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * MonoType.cs: Modified ParamName for ArgumentException to match
        MS. Provide meaningful exception messages. On 2.0, throw ANE instead
        of ArgumentException when args is null.

2007-11-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * MonoType.cs (Invoke): Allow BindingFlags.SetField and
        BindingFlags.SetProperty to be specified together. Fixes #321735.

2007-11-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Console.cs, ConsoleDriver.cs, TermInfoDriver.cs,
        TermInfoReader.cs, TermInfoNumber.cs, TermInfoStrings.cs,
        CStreamReader.cs, CStreamWriter.cs, NullConsoleDriver.cs,
        WindowsConsoleDriver.cs: In the 2.1 profile we do not need the
        full-blown Console (the terminal-addressable console) so we shrink
        it down to the basic 1.0 Console.

2007-11-14  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * Nullable.cs: Optimized to use generic comparers.

2007-11-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Throw InvalidCastException in more cases.

2007-11-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * GCCollectionMode.cs GCLatencyMode.cs: New net 3.5 types.

2007-11-12  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * NumberFormatter.cs : revert previous two changes. It does not
          really work for float and hence will rather bring confusion.

2007-11-12  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * NumberFormatter.cs : limit the situation that needs roundtrip
          verification in the previous change to Double.

2007-11-12  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * NumberFormatter.cs : applied a quick fix for bug #320433. It needs
          true fix to avoid extra perf. loss.

2007-11-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: Under 2.0 we must return a Local DateTime.MinValue.
        Fix the regression on the x86_64 bot which seems to be in it's own
        timezone.

2007-11-07  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Exception.cs: Cosmetic change to default exception message on
        2.0 profile.

2007-11-05  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Array.cs: Distinguish between notstarted and finished state when
        throwing IOE in Current, and provide meaningful exception message.

2007-11-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fix Enumerator<T>.Reset (#322248).

2007-11-05  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Type.cs (MakeGenericType): fix for #331199. If an user-defined type
        was used, the runtime would crash. Now we apply UnderlyingSystemType to
        all types before handling to the runtime.

2007-11-05  Stephane Delcroix  <sdelcroix@novell.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: fix for #323911. The our after DST.Start is already DST.

2007-11-03  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : fix for #330085. for Local time, convert to Utc
          before getting ticks.

2007-11-03  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ArgumentException.cs: Change default message to match MS. Removed
        unnecessary check from Message, since base.Message can never be null.

2007-11-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : ParseExact() should ignore 'K' when there is no
          character is left.

2007-11-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : in roundtrip mode, 'Z' should turn the tick value to
          utc time and should not result in different ticks.
          Fixed bug #338064.

2007-10-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * UInt32.cs (Parse): Use Jeff Stedfast's parsing code which is
        smaller and does not need checked() constructs. 

        * Int64.cs, Int32.cs, Int16.cs: small tuneup: do not throw
        exception, instead return the exception like every other place in
        this code. 

        * Int16.cs, Int32.cs, Int64.cs: Use the Jeff Stedfast parsing code
        which is smaller.  We no longer use "checked" to check for
        overflows, I refactored some stuff and cleaned up the rest and
        fixes #331525.

2007-10-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * MonoType.cs: Applied patch from Mario A Chavez 
        <mario.chavez@gmail.com>. Add support for invoking members with the 
        ParamArray attribute. Fixes #336841.

2007-10-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * MonoType.cs (InvokeMember): Make sure one operation is passed in the binding
        flags. Fixes #336936.

Fri Oct 26 19:43:09 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs, String.cs: patch from Tyler Larson
        <mono-devel@tlarson.com> to fix the handling of the RemoveEmptyEntries
        option in string.Split (bug #322375).

2007-10-26  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump version because of Thread initialisation
        changes

2007-10-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: In DefaultDomain, wrap the returned domain with
        a proxy if the current domain is not the root domain.

2007-10-24  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs : implemented ReflectionOnlyGetType().

        * AppDomain.cs: Add NET 3.5 DefineDynamicAssembly () overloads.

2007-10-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Delegate.cs (CreateDelegate): Allow binding instance methods to 
        delegates with an extra argument, a NET 2.0 feature. Fixes #333647.

Fri Oct 12 08:11:50 CEST 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: reverted unapproved patch that breaks the build.

2007-10-11  Joel Reed  <joelwreed@comcast.com>

        * String.cs: fix String.Split(char[],int,StringSplitOptions)
        with StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries option. The correct 
        behavior is to remove empty entries while the string is being split, 
        and always return the maximum number of elements possible.
        Patch from: Tyler Larson <mono-devel@tlarson.com>
        
2007-09-28  Jb Evain  <jbevain@novell.com>

        * Object.cs: Make ToString return Type.ToString ()
        by default instead of Type.FullName to match .net
        behavior. Fix #329419.

2007-09-28  William Holmes  <billholmes54@gmail.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Check for AssumeUniversal when parsing string.
         Fixes bug #324845

2007-09-21  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Enum.cs: Use regular single quotes in exception message.

2007-09-14  Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: implemented all the string ctors using CreateString
        methods, so they can run completely in managed code.

2007-09-13  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: Implemented few properties.

2007-09-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs, Math.cs : implemented midpoint rounding.

2007-09-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs : implemented 2.0 CreateInstance()
          and CreateInstanceFrom () overloads.

2007-09-12  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: More explicit text in exception (old and almost 
        forgetten patch on laptop ;-)

2007-09-10  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * OperatingSystem.cs : implemented ISerializable.

2007-08-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Fix a warning.

2007-08-25  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * DateTime.cs: Implement internal To/FromBinary for the 1.1 profile.

2007-08-25  Alan McGovern  <amcgovern@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Reverted DateTime changes.

2007-08-25  Robert Jordan  <robertj@gmx.net>

        * DateTime.cs: Implement internal To/FromBinary for the 1.1 profile.

2007-08-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs: Fix min + max / 2 overflows in the BinarySearch and qsort methods.
        Fixes #82469.

2007-08-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * DateTimeOffset.cs: New .NET 3.5 struct for 2.0 mscorlib.
        
2007-08-23  Eyal Alaluf <eyala@mainsoft.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Numerous improvements to DateTime.Parse. It handles a lot
          more possible formats and more correctly at that. It is also now easier
          to manage the formats DateTime.Parse supports.

2007-08-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Exception.cs: Make 1.0 and 2.0 object layout the same since this class is seen
        by the runtime. Fixes #82459.

2007-08-16  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: In IsDefined, throw ArgumentNullException if
        attributeType is null to avoid a SIGSEGV (and match MS). Only partial
        fix for bug #82431 on 1.0 profile; it fully fixes the problem for the
        1.0 profile, but more changes (in the runtime) are required for the
        2.0 profile. Added a FIXME explaining the problem.

2007-08-15  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: In IsDefined, only walk inheritance chain if
        both AttributeUsage.Inherited and inherit are true. Fixed bug #82431.

2007-08-13  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ArgumentException.cs: Ignore zero-length ParamName for Message.
        Use ParamName property instead of field, since the property is marked
        virtual.
        * Array.cs: Provide more meaningful exception message when destination
        array is not long enough.

2007-08-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs: Implement InternalArray__set_Item. Fixes #82345.

2007-08-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * IntPtr.cs : oops, do not ignore format in ToString(string).

2007-08-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * GC.cs, Exception.cs, IntPtr.cs, Enum.cs, DateTime.cs, Convert.cs
          ConsoleKeyInfo.cs, String.cs, Object.cs, Attribute.cs,
          Version.cs : couple of cosmetic 2.0 API fixes.

2007-08-06  Aaron Bockover  <abockover@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs (ReadXdgUserDir): Support the changes to the
        xdg-user-dirs spec that allow $HOME to start the path; also allows
        for quotes surrounding the path (Patch ported from Banshee,
        BGO #461596)

2007-07-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * MulticastDelegate.cs (Equals): do not cast to avoid exceptions,
        instead use the "as" operator, as pointed out by Jesse Jones'
        tool. 

2007-07-21  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * BitConverter.cs: Fixed exceptions to match MS. Fixed invalid use
        of ArgumentOutOfRangeException and ArgumentException ctors that take
        both parameter name and message. In ToString throws ArgumentException
        instead of ArgumentOutOfRangeException when length is negative, and
        return zero-length string when length is 0.

2007-07-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs : fix serialization regression.

2007-07-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs :
          MonoTODO AppDomainInitializer as its implementation is wrong.

2007-07-20  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs : added missing 2.0 members.
        * AppDomain.cs : support AppDomainInitializer.

2007-06-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Int16.cs, UInt64.cs, SByte.cs, UInt16.cs, Byte.cs, Int32.cs,
        Int64.cs, UInt32.cs: Fix for 81775.

        I removed Parse from a Byte.cs and UInt16.cs as in various cases
        they still depended on UInt32.cs for parsing, there is no reason
        to keep all of this code duplicated (UInt64 is a different case
        though). 

        I was hoping for some feedback on whether my tests are correct,
        but so far no takers.

2007-07-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * ModuleHandle.cs: Implement the generic versions of the ResolveXXXHandle () methods.
        
        * ModuleHandle.cs: Add stubs for generic ResolveXXXHandle () methods.

2007-07-10  Alan McGovern <amcgovern@novell.com>

        * Guid.cs: All whitespace should be trimmed from before and
        after a string passed into the Guid constructor. Fixes #81958

2007-07-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: Fix signatures of == and != operators.

        * ModuleHandle.cs: Add missing 2.0 stuff.

2007-07-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * *.cs: Add missing ComVisible attributes.

        * Delegate.cs: Add missing 2.0 CreateDelegate () methods.

2007-07-07  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * DateTime.cs: In ParseExact, throw ArgumentNullException if format
        is null; throw FormatException if formats array is empty or if one of
        items is null or a zero-length string.

2007-07-06  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Fix for string ending in garbaga, it was just ignoring it
        instead of throwing FormatException. Fixes #81777

2007-07-06  Rodrigo Kumpera  <rkumpera@novell.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Fix for whitespace only strings, it was returning zero 
        instead of throwing FormatException. Fixes #81630 

2007-07-06  Alan McGovern  <amcgovern@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: If the format is null or empty, it should default to 'G'.
        Fixes bug 81778

2007-07-06  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: Support ExtensibleClassFactory.


2007-07-06  Aaron Bockover  <abockover@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs (InternalGetFolderPath): Try reading some
        paths from ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs (XDG user dirs spec);
        always return something for MyPictures

2007-07-04  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs : 2.0 TypeHandle and ContainsGenericParameters are virtual
          (required fix for 2.0 reflection API fixes).

2007-06-22  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: Move interface lookup to unmanaged.

2007-06-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

        * Delegate.cs: Applied patch from Robert Jordan (robertj@gmx.net). Keep
        the dynamic method referenced by a delegate alive.

2007-06-05  David Ferguson <davecferguson@gmail.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Changed DateTime.Parse() to throw a FormatException
          instead of an ArgumentOutOfRangeException for .NET 2.0.  An
          ArgumentOutOfRangeException is still thrown for .NET 1.1.

        Fixes bug #81540

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (WriteSpecialKey): Actually clear the screen
        and reset the cursor position to 0,0 when the key is
        ConsoleKey.Clear.
        (Clear): Reset the cursor position to 0,0

2007-04-24  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        Fixes the last of the bugs listed in bug #77525

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (ctor): For known terminal types, set color16
        to true (since we know they support 16 colours).
        (Init): set the setlfgcolor and setlbgcolor format strings.
        (BackgroundColor): Use the appropriate formatter string for
        setting the bgcolor.
        (ForegroundColor): Use the appropriate formatter string for
        setting the fgcolor.
        (TranslateColor): Now takes (and sets appropriately) an output
        'bool light' argument.

2007-04-24  Marek Habersack  <mhabersack@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: don't include debug stuff by default - it
        breaks multithreaded applications (they all attempt to open
        console.log and fail because of sharing violation).

2007-04-23  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (ReadKeyInternal): Since our input stream is
        buffered, check if it has more buffered input in addition to our
        timeout check. This makes it such that we will actually correctly
        match multi-char escape sequences.
        (Read): Changed the logic slightly wrt 'fresh' echoing. Once we
        encounter a fresh char, all chars afterward should also be
        considered 'fresh' even if 'fresh' is returned as false later.
        (ReadLine): Same logic here.

2007-04-23  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        Fixes bug #80702 (via getting rid of the casting) and more.

        The following change makes it such that even if an application
        calls Console.SetOut() with its own output stream, we can still
        properly echo user-input from stdin to the real stdout.

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (ctor): Grab a reference to the original
        Console.stdout so we can be sure we always echo to console.
        (QueueEcho): No need to cast Console.stdout anymore.
        (EchoFlush): Same.
        (WriteConsole: Here too.

2007-04-20  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (QueueEcho): Renamed from Echo(char). Use
        CStreamWriter's new InternalWriteChars().
        (Echo): Since we can no longer go thru CStreamWriter's ::Write()
        method that does checks for special keys, do the checks here
        instead - if it is a special key, flush the echo buffer and then
        write the special key.
        (EchoFlush): Also updated to use CStreamWriter's new
        InternalWriteChars().
        (Read): Use the Echo(key) variety.
        (ReadKey): Same.
        (ReadLine): And here too.

        * CStreamWriter.cs (InternalWriteChars): Write a char array
        directly to stdout. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

2007-04-19  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        Optimization for echoing keypresses back to the console when the
        user pastes a block of text rather than manually typing text.

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (Echo): A new convenience function for echoing
        characters/keys back to the console with an optimization twist and
        a bit of lime.
        (EchoFlush): Flush our pending echo queue
        (Read): Make use of Echo() both for convenience and for speed.
        (ReadLine): Same.
        (ReadKey): Make use of Echo()/EchoFlush() for simplicity of code,
        but we won't get the same optimization out of it.

2007-04-19  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        Fix for bug #81373.

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: Changed 'buffer' to be a char array instead
        of a byte array and stdin is now a StreamReader rather than a
        Stream.
        (Init): Setup stdin as a StreamReader using Console.InputEncoding
        as our encoding.
        (GetCursorPosition): Use stdin.Read() instead of the old
        ReadByte() code.
        (AddToBuffer): Updated to allocate the correct array type for
        'buffer'.
        (ReadKeyInternal): Updated to use stdin.Read() rather than
        stdin.ReadByte(). This is the main reason we needed to use chars
        instead of bytes. Characters entered by the user need to be
        represented as unicode chars and not bytes like before.
        (Match): Now takes a char[] buffer argument instad of byte[] and
        compares the input buffer to the byte-map as chars.

2007-04-18  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        Fixes bug #81159: behave the same as mscorlib

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (ReadKeyInternal): Now has an 'out bool fresh'
        argument which is used to tell our caller if the key was freshly
        read from the console or pre-buffered.
        (Read): New implementation of Console.In.Read(char[], int, int)
        that behaves exactly like mscorlib's implementation.
        (ReadKey): Updated for the ReadKeyInternal() API change - only
        echo if the key was fresh.
        (ReadLine): Same.

        * CStreamReader.cs (Read): Call the new TermInfoDriver.Read()

2007-04-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * CStreamWriter.cs (Write): Optimized this some more, we don't
        need a temporary buffer. Just blit chunks of the src buffer
        instead.

        * CStreamReader.cs (Read): Need to increment our array index so
        that we don't store each byte read into the same
        position. Discovered this while testing bug #81159 (which appears
        to work as expected with current svn, other than this buglet).

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (CursorTop::set): SetCursorPosition() sets our
        internal cursorTop variable, so no need to explicitly set it again
        after calling SetCursorPosition().
        (CursorLeft::set): Same idea here.

2007-04-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (ReadLine): Implemented a workaround for
        IronPython going behind System.Console's back when writing text to
        the screen (it doesn't seem to use Console.stdout, instead it
        creates its own file stream or something which just so happens to
        write to the same file descriptor) by querying for the cursor
        position in ReadLine(), so we lose no real performance (since we
        have to wait for user input anyway).

2007-04-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (Init): SetEcho(false), we'll be manually
        echoing from now on (ReadLine() has already been doing this, might
        as well make ReadKey() behave the same).
        (GetCursorPosition): No longer need to disable/re-enable echo
        anymore since it is now always false.
        (ReadKey): Manually echo the key back to the console just like
        ReadLine() has been doing (in the interest of consistancy) if
        intercept is false.
        (ReadLine): No longer need to disable/re-enable echo, echo is
        always off now. Also, fixed what appears to have been a typo.

2007-04-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (IsSpecialKey): Oops, Enter should not be
        treated as a special key. Just update out cursor state here like
        we do with normal chars.
        (WriteSpecialKey): Enter is a no-op now because it is not treated
        as a special key anymore.

        * CStreamWriter.cs (Write): Only flush our buffer if j > 0

2007-04-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@gnome.org>

        Turns out my last patch was broken wrt handling some special keys
        like Backspace and anything else that changed the cursor position
        in some non-standard way.

        * CStreamWriter.cs (Write): Instead of calling NotifyWrite(), we
        instead need to check IsSpecialKey(), and, if so, flush whatever
        we have saved in our temporary buffer and then call
        WriteSpecialKey(). Otherwise go on as we did in the last patch.

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (NotifyWrite): Broken up into 2 functions:
        (IsSpecialKey): Returns true if we need to do some special voodoo
        for this key
        (WriteSpecialKey): Write the special key (using whatever voodoo
        necessary)

2007-04-16  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@gnome.org>

        * CStreamWriter.cs (Write): Instead of writing 1 char at a time,
        copy the bytes into a temporary char array (with a fixed max size)
        so that we can minimize the number of Write() calls we make on the
        underlying stream (and thus on the write() system call).

2007-04-17  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * Array.cs: Make GetRank() icall private. Subclasses should use the
        public Rank property.

2007-04-16  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        * WindowsConsoleDriver.cs: Get rid of unused Echo property.

        * NullConsoleDriver.cs: Get rid of Echo property.

        * IConsoleDriver.cs: Get rid of Echo property.

        * ConsoleDriver.cs (Echo::get/set): Removed, not needed.

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (Echo::get/set): Removed, this isn't necessary
        and is confusing.
        (ReadKey): If we are intercepting the key, call SetEcho (false)
        and then reset back to true after reading the key.
        (ReadLine): Same idea here.
        (GetCursorPosition): We no longer need to keep track of the
        previous echo state, we no longer have it :)

2007-04-16  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        Fix for bug #80710 (and a bug I introduced in my last fix due to
        this code assuming the underlying term echo state was always
        false) and other buglets that I noticed.

        * TermInfoDriver.cs (ReadLine): Set (term) Echo to false as we do
        our own manual echoing which prevents ^H from getting displayed on
        the screen when the user hits backspace.
        (ReadLine): If the user hits Backspace and builder.Length is 0, DO
        NOT echo the backspace back to the console, ever.
        (ReadLine): Only echo characters back to the console if echo is
        set to true. Seems the Echo ConsoleDriver property is a Mono
        extension, and I'm assuming this is the intended behavior? I can't
        see what else the Echo property would be useful for...

2007-04-16  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

        Fixes bug #81050

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: Renamed the noEcho variable to echo, makes
        the logic cleaner/simpler/etc. Plus it was never actually used
        other than in the property methods which are called Echo.
        (Init): Call ConsoleDriver.SetEcho() with the 'echo' value -
        allows for a slight optimization if called from within the
        Echo::set property.
        (GetCursorPosition): Instead of calling the Echo property methods,
        call ConsoleDriver.SetEcho() directly to toggle echo off (if echo
        isn't already off, and then back on once we're finished getting
        the position - assuming the echo state is on, of course) - this
        avoids calling back into Init() which just felt dirty.
        (Echo::set): If the Echo state differs from our current state,
        call ConsoleDriver.SetEcho() with the new state (this is the
        important piece of the fix for bug #81050).
        (ReadKey): Simplified the echo logic to make it a bit clearer.
        (ReadLine): Same.

2007-04-16  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * Char.cs (IsLetter): Faster version.

        * Math.cs: Should be static classes in 2.0.

        * Delegate.cs: DynamicInvoke(object[]) is params in 2.0.

2007-04-03  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * Delegate.cs: Combine(Delegate[]) is params in 2.0.

2007-03-27  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Increment mono_corlib_version;

2007-03-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * BitConverter.cs: Revert the patch from 72237 as that introduces
        a regression and we are not sure yet what we will be doing about
        that.

        Introduce a new InternalInt64BitsToDouble method that provides the
        fixed functionality, mark it as internal.

        Introduce a new SwappableToDouble method that includes the
        swapping ToDouble routine as introduced by Zoltan on 72237, this
        is used by InternalInt64BitsToDouble.

        * Math.cs (IEEERemainder): Use the InternalInt64BitsToDouble
        routine here to preserve the semantics from Zoltan.  

        The problem with BitConverter.cs is that it is completely hossed.
        In .NET 1.1 it is a bitwise copy, no attempt is ever done to do
        endian-specific swapping.   In .NET 2.0 it is *almost* like that,
        but it is subtly broken: if data is unaligned then endian
        conversions happen.  If the data is properly aligned it behaves
        like 1.0.

        In general BitConverter is a sad class that offers little control,
        we will be introducing a new mono bit converter and encourage
        users to use that instead of the entirely broken
        System.BitConverter. 

2007-03-11  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Delegate.cs: Fixed bootstrap build.

2007-03-08  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * StringComparer.cs: Renamed StringComparer classes and promoted them
        to top-level classes. Merged Ordinal and OrdinalIgnoreCase comparers.
        Fixes binary serialization compatibility with MS.

2007-03-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>
  
        * Type.cs (Equals): Remove a useless check.

        * Type.cs: Rename Type:Equals(Type) to EqualsInternal, and add support for checking
        UnderlyingSystemType. Fixes #81037.

2007-03-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo.mono@gmail.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: adjust buffer indexes after *every* read. Fixes
        bug #80329. Robert Jordan attached a similar patch to the bug report
        but I didn't see it until after my commit...

2007-03-05  Peter Dettman <peter.dettman@iinet.net.au>

        * Enum.cs: The above patch makes the formatting for specifiers 'x'
        and 'X' behave like MS.NET, including the correct length for each
        possible underlying type, and correctly using capital letters for
        the 'X' case.

        Patch also includes some more test cases in EnumTests.cs.

2007-02-25  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: If configuration file is not an absolute path,
        then throw a MemberAccessException if ApplicationBase is not set,
        or otherwise consider it as a path relative to ApplicationBase.
        Fixes bug #80934. Patch provided by Jamie Cansdale.
        * AppDomain.cs: In CreateDomain, construct AppDomain with
        ApplicationBase of default domain if not explicitly set in specified
        AppDomainSetup. If config file is not set, then use filename of the
        default domain config file. Base on patch provided by Jamie Cansdale.

2007-02-16  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Random.cs: Fix exception messages ("then" -> "than"). Spotted by
        Mark A. Nicolosi (#80873).

2007-02-12  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * CStreamWriter.cs (Write with char []): take the lock once for
        all characters and call manually the InternalWriteChar properly to
        speed things up.

        (Write with string parameter): same thing, if the driver is not
        initialized use a fast path.

        If the driver has not been initialized, use a fast path instead. 

Mon Feb 12 21:54:57 CET 2007 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: patch from Cedric Vivier <cedricv@neonux.com> to
        get correctly non-public fields from generic types.

2007-02-08  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: Add IUnknown field to object. Cleanup icalls.
        
2007-02-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * BitConverter.cs (ToDouble): Fix this on big-endian machines.

2007-01-30  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: According to the docs, we should not throw when
        converting to Localtime if we are a negative value.  Instead we
        return DateTime.MinValue.

2007-01-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : copy Kind in those members that return DateTime.
          Fixed bug #80614.

2007-01-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Array.cs (InternalArray__ICollection_Contains,
        InternalArray__IndexOf): Cope with null values in the array (See
        bug #80563).

2007-01-19  Marek Habersack  <grendello@gmail.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Make sure that domain
        SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile is never null. MS.NET by
        default copies the default domain's ConfigurationFile value
        there. Fixes bug #80547.

2007-01-14  Jensen Somers <jensen.somers@gmail.com>

        * ArraySegment.cs: Added Equals() method, operator == and !=
        overloading and GetHashCode().

2007-01-10  Andy Hume <andyhume32@yahoo.co.uk>

        * Fixes to a number of exception classes.
        
        A project of mine uses #ctor(String,Exception) on 
        ObjectDisposedException, so I looked at adding that, and any 
        other similar constructors missing as per the class status report.
        
        I also spotted inconsistent setting of HResult, and fixed 
        those too.  For instance, ArgumentNullException sets HResult 
        only in three out of the four constuctors; not setting it in 
        the v2 (String,Exception) one -- and correctly not in the 
        Serialization constructor.
        
        
        So, I fixed the remaining missing (String,Exception) 
        constructors in corlib (2 of), and fixed the Hresult setting 
        in all exceptions there (4 of).
        
        The remaining Exception constructor omission listed was 
        InvalidCastException.ctor(System.String, System.Int32).  MSDN   says:
        "This constructor supplies an HRESULT value that is 
        accessible to inheritors of the InvalidCastException class, 
        via the protected HResult property of the Exception class."
        I added that method too, setting the HResult property from 
        the Int32 argument.

        * String.cs, StringComparer.cs : avoid extra string creation in
          StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase.

2007-01-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Under 2.0 fix ParseExact to set DateTimeKind.Utc when
        DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal is used.

2007-01-04 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: honor the backspace in ReadLine.

2006-12-30  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * String.cs: Character based method only.
        (IndexOf, LastIndexOf, Replace, IndexOfAny): Performance improvements.
        (Substring): Returns same instance when index is 0.

2006-12-30  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * Decimal.cs:
        * Math.cs: Implement missing Decimal.Ceiling methods for 2.0.
        Closes #80384.

2006-12-22  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 

        * DateTime.cs: Implement missing [To|From]Binary methods for 2.0.
        * OperatingSystem.cs: Implement missing ServicePack and VersionString
        properties (2.0).
        * Version.cs: Add missing Major|MinorRevision properties for 2.0.

2006-12-14  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Type.cs (MakeGenericType): Can only be called on a generic type
        definition.

2006-12-03  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Fix this on the 2.0 profile, return the
        DateTimeKind for the Now property

2006-12-01  Duncan Mak  <duncan@a-chinaman.com>

        * ArgumentOutOfRangeException.cs (.ctor): 
        * NotFiniteNumberException.cs (.ctor): Add the 2.0 constructor
        that takes a string and an inner Exception.

2006-12-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          When comparing enumerations, two or more enumeration values might
          match. Thus basically we should do complete matching, but right
          now just do reverse order search since only numbered abbrev month
          names matter (and full iteration is a mess). Fixed bug #80094.

2006-12-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          use new internal clone-less DateTimeFormatInfo members.

2006-11-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * INullableValue.cs: Removed.

2006-11-28  Duncan Mak  <duncan@novell.com>

        new in .NET 2.0.

        * InsufficientMemoryException.cs: Added missing 2.0 exception.
        
2006-11-27  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: Removed IDispatchMono.
        
2006-11-27 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs:
        * Console.cs: lazy initialization of Console 2.0 (also when
        CancelKeyPress is used).

2006-11-27  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Exception.cs (GetType): New method in 2.x, Another Moma catch. 

Mon Nov 27 19:34:16 CET 2006 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * GC.cs: implemented the needed methods with icalls.

2006-11-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Math.cs: Add Floor(Decimal d), for CreativeDocs.NET.

        Go Moma!  http://www.mono-project.com/Moma

        * Decimal.cs: Refactor code to implement TryParse.

        Also, avoid initializing messages on every call to stripStyles

2006-11-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: A small performance hit, we store the actual time
        span in a boxed object.   This way, it can be updated from other
        threads if necessary.   We always unbox to get the value before
        any potential updates. 

        Thanks to Gonzalo for catching this.

2006-11-21  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TimeZone.cs (CurrentSystemTimeZone): Cache the current year
        daylight savings time in static variables.

        (CurrentSystemTimeZone.OnDeserialization): Initialize
        this_year_dlt and this_year on this method.

        (TimeZone): init statically the currentTimeZone instead of
        delaying that to the static property, avoiding a compare. 

2006-11-22  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * Array.cs: (compare<T>) if a comparer is provided, it has
          priority over other comparison methods.

2006-11-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Array.cs: TODOs will from now on be used to flag information
        that will be developer-visible, not to flag internal information
        that none of us reads or bothers about.

        For those, use "FIXME" strings in the source code instead. 

        * AppDomain.cs: Update to be more useful.

2006-11-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * String.cs : fixed incorrect startIndex/length count in
          IndexOf(string,StringComparison).

2006-11-07  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@gmail.com>

        * String.cs (LastIndexOf): If value is Empty, the return value is
        the start index position in value.

2006-10-26 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: prevent an invalid cast.

2006-10-26  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * String.cs (Concat): Add fast-path for empty strings.

2006-10-20  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * Variant.cs: Add support for bool and interfaces.
        
2006-10-18  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@gmail.com>

        * Type.cs: Removed is_subtype_of because IsSubclassOf should be used
          that is public and virtual. IsClass: Checking for ValueType is
          unnecessary. IsEnum: UnderlyingSystemType is not used anymore so
          no EnumBuilder hack is necessary. Checking for Enum is
          unnecessary. IsSerializable: Walk BaseType for user defined types.
          IsSubclassOf: Walk BaseType for user defined types.

        * MonoType.cs: IsValueTypeImpl is unnecessary. IsSubclassOf: Unlike
          Type system types throw ArgumentNullException on null Type
          argument.

2006-10-14  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * BadImageFormatException.cs: Changed message for default ctor to
        match MS. Use internal message field of Exception to check whether
        Message is null. Match MS default messages when no message is 
        set. Fixed ToString to match MS.

2006-10-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs: Handle SpecialFolder.MyMusic

2006-10-07 Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Enum.cs: Use different exception message depending on whether the
        type of the passed in value is an Enum or not. Avoid looking up the
        enum's underlying type twice in case of "D" or "d" format specifier.

2006-10-06 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: don't allow backspace if we're at the beginning
        position for a ReadLine.

2006-10-06 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: ironpython autocompletion works now.

2006-09-28 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: avoid casting on windows.

2006-09-28 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * ConsoleDriver.cs:
        * TermInfoDriver.cs:
        * IConsoleDriver.cs:
        * CStreamWriter.cs:
        * ConsoleKeyInfo.cs:
        * NullConsoleDriver.cs:
        * Console.cs:
        * CStreamReader.cs:
        * WindowsConsoleDriver.cs: initial changes to handle cursor position
        and screen buffers.

2006-09-21  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ArithmeticException.cs: Modified default message to match MS, to
        ensure a local regression test passes on both Mono and .NET.

2006-09-21  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Exception.cs: Marked message internal to allow derived classes to
        access the raw message (without changing the public API).

2006-09-19  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * ConsoleDriver.cs:
        * TermInfoDriver.cs:
        * IConsoleDriver.cs:
        * Console.cs:
        * WindowsConsoleDriver.cs: don't switch to the alternate window.
        Trigger the cancel event. Retrieve the cursor position at the
        beginning, as we're going to keep track of it instead of querying it
        all the time.

2006-09-14  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * Environment.cs (ProcessorCount): Implement as icall.
        Patch by Jason McFall.

2006-09-05  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs (Today) [NET_2_0]: Set kind to Local.

2006-09-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Enum.cs (Equals): Use the generic Equals implementation from ValueType which
        is faster and avoids allocations.

2006-09-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (Array.InternalArray): Removed the helper class;
        instead we use private generic methods in System.Array which are
        inserted into the vtable at runtime.

2006-08-23 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * ConsoleCancelEventArgs.cs: fix my build.

2006-08-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * MulticastDelegate.cs: Make DynamicInvokeImpl internal in 2.0 

        * Converter.cs: update signature to final.

        * ModuleHandle.cs: Removed the [Obsolete] flags as they removed
        those in the final 2.0

        * DateTime.cs: Fixed the signature. 

        * Convert.cs: Removed API calls that were deprecated in final 2.0

        * Enum.cs: Updated to use the obsoletes flagged in 2.0.

        * ConsoleCancelEventArgs.cs: Updated to 2.0

2006-08-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Attribute.cs: This needs to do a deep compare, not a shallow
        one.   Ran into this bug with the VBNC compiler that compares two
        separate attributes for equality using this.

        * String.cs (StartsWith): Fix the overloaded constructor that
        takes a CultureInfo, if that is null, it means to use the current
        culture. 

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: Do not throw exceptions on the driver for
        SetWindowSize and SetWindowPosition, they can be treated as nops.

2006-08-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * *.cs: Use String.Empty instead of "" in a lot of places.

2006-08-17  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Remove last patch to DateTime as the fix wasn't correct
        and made most x.509 unit tests fails. However the original problem is 
        back (only on 2.0).

2006-08-14  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        Fix #78943
        * Activator.cs (CreateInstance): Throw ArgumentException on open
        generic types.

2006-08-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * MonoType.cs: Do the argument testinf for SetField later,
        otherwise the implicit (and not documented, but already considered
        side effect of checking SetProperty) did not work.

        Bug fix #79023

2006-08-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * String.cs : Normalize() and IsNormalized() implementation.

2006-08-10  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: Added defintion of IDispatch interface, and
        property. Get CLSID of supertype for creation if class not
        ComImport attributed (allows for inheritance of RCW).
        * MonoType.cs: Implement IsCOMObjectImpl.

2006-08-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : fixed X509Certificate() case that regressed only
          under NET_2_0.

2006-08-07  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@gmail.com>

        * Console.cs: Use correct code pages on Windows and initialize
          InputEncoding and OutputEncoding to the actual encodings used.

2006-08-05  Duncan Mak  <duncan@novell.com>

        * Char.cs (TryParse): Implemented missing 2.0 method, which fixed
        bug #79007.

2006-07-19  John Luke  <john.luke@gmail.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: switch order of alt and control when
        calling new ConsoleKeyInfo()

2006-07-19  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@gmail.com>

        * String.cs: Improve CreateString () performance when length is zero.

2006-07-18  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@gmail.com>

        * String.cs: Added CreateString () methods. Constructors with matching
          argument list are redirected to these methods that improves
          performance as well as fixes bug #78703.

2006-07-15  Jonathan Chambers  <joncham@gmail.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: Begin implementing COM Interop.

2006-05-29  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Exception.cs
        (Exception.StackTrace): Use the new stack trace format which is
        very similar to the one of MS.NET - method name goes first,
        file / line number last and in the method name, we separate class
        and method name by `.'.

        * Environment.cs
        (Environment.StackTrace): Enable line-number information.

2006-05-24  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

2006-04-26  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs : (Parse) handle currency symbol when
          AllowCurrencySymbol is passed as part of the style. Patch by
          nede@aliquant.com, modified to eliminate redundant Substring().
          This fixes bug #77721.

2006-04-26  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs : (GetMethod) when zero-length type[] is explicitly
          passed, don't return methods with some arguments. Fixed bug #77367.

2006-04-21  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.souceforge.net>

        * Enum.cs: Provide meaningful message when type of passed in value

2006-04-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : implement SpecifyKind(). Patch by Thong Nguyen.

2006-04-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

          be transparent to ReadOnlyCollection, not create another list.

2006-03-28  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs : AsReadOnly<T>() in RTM returns ReadOnlyCollection<T>.
          Thus removed ReadOnlyArray<T> and ReadOnlyArrayEnumerator<T>.
          In 2.0 some members became non-virtual.

2006-03-23  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * String.cs : oops, NET_2_0.

          Make memcpy internal to can be used from UnicodeEncoding.

2006-03-19  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Nullable.cs (Compare, Equals): Added constrain as gmcs now correctly
        reports an error here.

2006-03-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs : (Parse) reject String.Empty.

Wed Mar 15 16:30:51 CET 2006 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * LocalDataStoreSlot.cs: implement as index in an array.
        Implemented finalizer and allow it to remove the data stored
        in the slot.

2006-03-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2006-03-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs (IsDefined): Avoid a runtime assert if a type
        overwrites GetCustomAttributes () but not IsDefined ().

2006-03-07  Peter Dennis Bartok  <pbartok@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bumped corlib version to 48 (due to r57532)

        improve error messages.

2006-02-15  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs (Type.IsGenericInstance): Removed.

2006-02-14  Ankit Jain  <jankit@novell.com>
            Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>
 
        * ArraySegment.cs (.ctor): Fix bounds check. Rename param 'length' to

2006-02-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs: Fix some methods which previously returned Nullable<T>.

        * String.cs: changed StartsWith/EndsWith to faster versions.

2006-02-02 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2006-01-31  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

2006-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Add some 2.0 methods and properties.

2006-01-19 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: if InternalCodePage returns -1, use the default encoding.
        Also match the UTF8 one properly. Patch by wall_john@sohu.com.

2006-01-19  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * ModuleHandle.cs : GetPEKind() is not public in 2.0 RTM.

2006-01-16  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Simple implementation of NET 2.0 TryParse() using
        try/catch

        Fix regressions introduced by the fix to #71300.
        * Activator.cs (CreateInstance): Use Binder.SelectMethod instead
        of home-grown FindBestCtor.
        (FindBestCtor): Delete.

2006-01-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Nullable.cs: Update to Net 2.0 RTM.
        
        * Nullable.cs: Add comments about runtime dependencies on the layout of
        this type.

2006-01-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: Now find the best ctor when null are used for 
        paramaters. Fix bug #71300. Added checks for specific types (void,

        * Console.cs: Re-use Environment logic to detect Windows.
        * Type.cs: Re-applied r45150 as the real bug was in Activator.

2005-12-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version to 46.
        * TimeZone.cs: Partial fix for #76094. Added [Serializable] attribute 
        and renamed internal CurrentTimeZone class to CurrentSystemTimeZone 
        (like MS). This allows serialization roundtrip to work in Mono but 
        there's still an issue when deserializing a stream from MS. 

2005-12-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 
 
        * NumberFormatter.cs: Fixed rounding for float and the string output
        now includes all the precision (not counting preceding zeros). This
        fix the DecimalTest.TestConstructSingleRounding_NotWorking test cases.

2005-12-21  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 
 
        * Array.cs: Fixed Sort<T> with IComparable (generic or not) bug #77039

2005-12-20  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs: Added the Sort<T> methods (generics). 

2005-12-19  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 
 
        * Array.cs: Fixed BinarySearch when the array is empty (#77030). Added
        some null check which throws ArgumentNullException under 2.0.

2005-12-15  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Added MonoTODO to ctor accepting a Calandar instance.
        * Double.cs: Under 2.0 throw a ArgumentException when parsing with
         NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier. Partial fix for #72221. Added the
        second, simpler, TryParse method (2.0).
        * Single.cs: Added the TryParse methods for 2.0.

2005-12-15  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Type.cs (IsGenericType): Make virtual.

2005-12-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: ApplicationBase throw exception on get (not on 
        set). New behaviour is more like MS - but most issues (unit tests)
        were really path issues. Fix bug #71291.
        * DateTime.cs: Add more information when throwing an exception in 
        ctor(long). Useful for debugging.

2005-12-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Single.cs Double.cs: Fix warnings.

2005-12-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 
 
        * Convert.cs: ToBase64String method didn't use the option parameter so
        we always included new lines. Fix bug #76876.

2005-12-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Added missing ComVisible and removed LAMESPEC 
        (the docs were fixed).
        * NumberFormatter.cs: Fixed the "NotWorking" case where 1.15 was 
        misrounded compared to MS implementation. Extra care is required when
        dealing with the extra 2 digits information (e.g. double precision is
        15 digits but 17 are kept - for a reason ;-)

2005-12-05  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump version

        * Nullable.cs: New Box and Unbox methods for the jit

2005-12-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: CreateComInstanceFrom isn't static in any profile.

Mon Dec 5 15:14:59 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs: remove unused icall.
        * BitConverter.cs: handle double binary format on ARM FPA.

2005-12-02  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * MonoType.cs:
        * Type.cs: DeclaringMethod should return MethodBase, not MethodInfo

2005-12-02  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: ReflectionOnlyPreBindAssemblyResolve renamed to
        ReflectionOnlyAssemblyResolve in 2.0 final

2005-12-01  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * String.cs: Add static and non-static Equals(... StringComparison) for
        2.0.

2005-12-01 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: special case for the escape key. Fixes bug #76781.

2005-11-30 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: if the cursor_address capability contains a %i, we
        have to add 1 to x and y when setting the cursor position.
        Fixes bug #76856.

        * Convert.cs: remove unused variables.

Wed Nov 30 12:14:20 EST 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        with large numbers.

        * Convert.cs: fix endianess issue when converting to base-8
        format. All the base code would need a rewrite for efficience.

2005-11-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Added support for Compare(... StringComparison) in 2.0.

2005-11-25  Alp Toker  <alp@atoker.com>

        * Type.cs (IsVisible): New 2.0 property, implemented recursively.

2005-11-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Incremented corlib version

2005-11-14  Carlos Alberto Cortez <calberto.cortez@gmail.com>

        * Int32.cs, UInt32.cs, Int16.cs, UInt16.cs, Int64.cs,
        UInt64.cs, Byte.cs, SByte.cs, Double.cs : Modify internal Parse
        methods to return the exception as an out parameter,
        instead of throwing it. This will be of special help
        to TryParse methods.
        * Environment.cs: Update corlib version to 42.
        
2005-11-14  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

2005-11-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

        * Array.cs (Resize<T>): New internal method which takes a 'length' argument
        as well to avoid copying the whole array.

2005-11-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Int64.cs : ditto for long.

2005-11-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs : Parse("2147483648", format_provider) should be rejected.

2005-11-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AttributeTargets.cs: Added [ComVisible (true)] and [Serializable] 
        in 2.0 profile.

        values (-1 to all of them).
        *  Exception.cs: Added a LinkDemand for SerializationFormatter on
        GetObjectData method.
        *  LoaderOptimization.cs: Added [ComVisible (true)] and [Serializable] 
        on enum and added [Obsolete] to DomainMask and DisallowBindings in 2.0
        profile.
        * PlatformID.cs: Added [ComVisible (true)] and [Serializable] in 2.0 
        profile.

        * Type.cs (GetPseudoCustomAttributes): Check for TypeAttributes.Serializable instead of
        IsSerializable property, since the latter returns true for delegates/enums.

2005-11-05  Kornél Pál  <kornelpal@hotmail.com>

        * Environment.cs: Use Consts.RuntimeVersion as Environment.Version that
          makes maintenance easier.

        * DateTime.cs : another crappy Windows dependent format.

2005-10-14  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Speed up when parsing date time objects by not
        duplicating cultureinfo arrays.

2005-10-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@gmail.com>

          the actual value. Fixed bug #76082.

2005-09-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs : When the target DateTime is in the range of
          DST end to DST + delta, don't adjust UtcOffset gap between that of
          DST and that of STD. This should fix bug #75985.

2005-09-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs, DateTime.cs :
          - ToLocalTime() and ToUniversalTime() are moved to TimeZone.
          - Added more COM patterns. Patch by Ankit Jain. Fixed bug #72132.
          - use ToLocalTime() and don't depend on the own offset computation.
            Parse() with 'Z' pattern is closer to correct value on switching
            Daylight Saving Time. See bug #75985.

2005-09-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : (DoParse) DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal was not
          handled as expected and it kept time value as local one.

2005-09-06  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Literal escape (\) was not checking format as

2005-08-21  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Convert.cs: In FromBase64String, return empty byte array for zero
        length string. Pass bool to InternalFromBase64String to control 
        whether to allow a whitespace-only string.
        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2005-08-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Convert.cs: For now, do not throw OverflowException if hex prefixed
        value is negative for signed types (other than int64). Need to look
        into this further.      

2005-08-17  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Convert.cs: Numerous fixed in overloads taking base to match 
        behaviour of MS.NET. Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException is string is
        empty. If base is 16, 8 or 2, then throw ArgumentException if first 
        character is a negative sign. Throw OverflowException if hex prefixed 
        value is negative for signed types (other than int64) to match MS.NET. 

2005-08-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : added another COM dependent pattern (rather to describe
          how it works on .NET than to add the pattern itself...).

2005-08-16  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : added case for bug #53023.

2005-08-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2005-08-10  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * String.cs : added new StartsWith()/EndsWith() override, fixing
          existing EndsWith() which incorrectly assumed that both string
          lengths must be equivalent (they are not always equal).
        * StringComparer.cs : added Ordinal and OrdinalIgnoreCase.

2005-08-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * String.cs: Implement Split(String[]) methods.

2005-08-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Full-pathization of the appBase should only
        be done on Windows, the ":" condition never applied to Linux.

        * ConsoleKey.cs: Include a few aliases for a few values that were
        introduced recently.

2005-08-09 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * ConsoleKey.cs: added Backspace, which has the same value as BackSpace.
        Fixes bug #75697.

2005-08-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * String.cs : (StartsWith) compared string lengths are not always the
          same in culture-sensitive comparison.

2005-08-05  Gert Driesen  <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Array.cs: Changed protected ctor to private. Fixes API compatibility
        with MS.NET.
        * RuntimeFieldHandle.cs: Equals methods and GetHashCode should only
        be exposed in 2.0 profile.
        * RuntimeMethodHandle.cs: Equals methods and GetHashCode should only
        be exposed in 2.0 profile.
        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: Equals methods and GetHashCode should only
        be exposed in 2.0 profile.
        * Type.cs: Added GetType method and implemented _Type interface.
        Fixes API compatibility with MS.NET.

2005-07-28  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * StringComparer.cs: New file.

2005-07-26  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@gmail.com>

        * Enum.cs (GetValue): Make private.  Return an ulong.
        (Parse): Tighten scope of couple of variables.  Use ulong when
        twiddling bits.

2005-07-25  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Enum.cs (FindName, GetValue): New.  Carved out of ...
        (Parse): ... this.  Refactor and simplify code.  Avoid incurring
        exceptions when parsing names.  Avoid allocating arrays unless
        necessary.  Avoid conversion of an enumeration constant to its own
        type.  (Incorporates ideas from a patch by Gonzalo Paniagua Javier.)

2005-07-13  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: GetLifetimeService() should be virtual.
        Fixes bug #75527.

2005-07-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * Array.cs: Patch from rodrigobamboo@gmail.com that fixes the
        signature for GetValue and SetValue to make the long [] argument
        be a params argument. 

2005-07-11  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <pedromj@gmail.com>

        * Convert.cs: Fix the bug when Convert.ChangeType was using
        NumberFormatInfo instead of DateTimeFormatInfo when the type to
        change is a DateTime.

2005-07-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Use Type.Equals() instead of `==' to compare type
        parameters.     

2005-07-10  Kamil Skalski <nazgul@nemerle.org>

        * Type.cs: Mark BindGenericParameters as deprecated. Use
        MakeGenericType as default implementation with updated signature.

2005-07-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Attribute.cs (IsDefined): Fix IsDefined for ParameterInfo's. Fixes
        #75514.

2005-07-05  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * DelegateSerializationHolder.cs: When the deserialized target is
        a proxy, call IsInstanceOfType to force the proxy to load the
        real type of the remote object. This is needed to make sure that
        subsequent calls to GetType() return the expected type. This fixes
        bug #75447.

2005-07-03  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * OperatingSystem.cs: patch from Aleksandar Dezelin to fix
        serialization.

2005-06-30  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        2.0). Avoid exception processing when possible. Renamed parameters to
        match the framework. Added ComVisible to NET_2_0.

2005-06-28  Elliott Draper  <el@eldiablo.co.uk>

        * Activator.cs: This implements the generic Activator.CreateInstance<T>()
        function for NET_2_0. It's full signature is:
                public static T CreateInstance<T>();

2005-06-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Renamed internal fields for the sake of serialization
        interoperability with MS.NET.
        * Exception.cs: In the StackTrace property, return the stack trace
        if it has a value, even if the exception has not been thrown
        (it may have been deserialized).

2005-06-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (Array.InternalArray<T>): New nested class; derives
        from Array.  This is now used by the runtime for arrays; fixes #74953.

2005-06-27  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * String.cs : added some extra whitespace characters for Trim().
          Fixed bug #75259.

2005-06-13  Michal Moskal <malekith@nemerle.org>
        
        * MonoType.cs: Don't use MethodHandle in GetMethod/GetConstructor,
        since it now throws on MethodBuilders. Don't use FieldHandle in
        GetField (throws on FieldBuilder) - just use the name.

2005-06-13  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs
        (MonoType.getFullName): Added `bool assembly_qualified' argument.
        (MonoType.AssemblyQualifiedName): The interncall now adds the
        assembly name, so we don't need to do it here.
        (MonoType.FullName): Use the new getFullName() API.

2005-06-14  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs: ToLowerInvariant and ToUpperInvariant are now public in 
        NET_2_0. Added "new" white char and ComVisible for 2.0.

2005-06-10 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: FromBase64String and FromBase64CharArray are now internal
        calls to avoid extra allocations.

        System.Reflection.CustomAttributeData.
        
2005-06-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: Added  _Activator interface (and members) for 1.1 and
        missing attributes (for both 1.1 and 2.0).
        * String.cs: Made internal To[Lower|Upper]Invariant methods public for
        2.0. Reworked Trim() to skip a useless call. Added missing attribute

2005-06-04 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs:
        * AppDomain.cs: if the assembly is loaded from a byte array, Location
        returns "". Fixes bug #74958.

2005-06-04  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * *.cs: More 2.0 API fixups

        * NumberFormatter.cs: Fixed the output of 0.ToString("00.00E00")
        that was different from MSFT.
        * String.cs: Fixed IndexOfAny thrown an exception

2005-05-28  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: Check that the arguments of the `types' array are
        non-null. Fixes bug 71300

2005-05-28  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Added new 2,0 constructors and the 
        ActivationArguments property.

        new location for the ApplicationActivator class.
        * ApplicationActivator.cs: Moved to System.Runtime.Hosting namespace.

2005-05-27  Vladimir Vukicevic  <vladimir@pobox.com>

        * Environment.cs: bump corlib version for bug #75060.

2005-05-27  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs (ExpandEnvironmentVariables): Rewrite
        sb.Append (s.SubString (a, b)) to sb.Append (s, a, b).
        * String.cs (FormatHelper): Rewrite sb.Append (s.SubString (a)) to
        sb.Append (s, a, s.Length - a).  Avoid allocating 'pad' string --
        StringBuilder has an appropriate Append overload.

2005-05-26  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Type.cs (IsEnum): Special case EnumBuilder here.

2005-05-26  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: Changed call from GetName to UnprotectedGetName to
        allow call to work with serialization under a restrictive policy.
        The code path (the protected information) isn't being used.

2005-05-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Exception.cs: Use the new StackTrace ctor.

          Use GetAllDateTimePatterns() instead of constant string.
          Fixed bug #72788.

2005-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : next_not_digit prevented some valid parse.
          Just remove it, since now we pass max length to ParseNumber() and
          thus it is not needed anymore. Fixed bug 63137.

2005-05-24  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : HH should not always block tt. Fixed bug #60912.
          Reset num after whitespace parsing.
          Added "M/d/yyyy HH':'mm':'ss tt" as an invariant pattern.

2005-05-24  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Allow ',' where whitespaces are allowed.

2005-05-22  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * BitConverter.cs: Speed this up, fixing 74014. Patch from

        * Type.cs: Add some helper methods needed by other classes.

        * Array.cs: Improve support for user defined Type subclasses.   
        
        * Type.cs: Rename GetTypeCode icall to GetTypeCodeInternal and add a managed
        wrapper function, not used yet.

        * Type.cs Array.cs: Revert this as it breaks the build.

        * Type.cs Array.cs: Improve support for user defined Type subclasses.

2005-05-19  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs (Equals): Use `as' to protect in the case where !
        (obj is Delegate)

2005-05-19  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Console.cs (Readline) [NET_2_0]: Avoid "uninitialized variable"
        error.

2005-05-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@novell.com>

        * TermInfoDriver.cs: Removed warning.

        * Array.cs (Resize<T>, TrueForAll<T>, ConvertAll<TInput,TOutput>,
        FindLastIndex<T>: Parameter names are normative.        
        Fix coding style ("Method<T>" not "Method <T>")
        Throw argument exceptions per argument.
        
        (FindAll): Fix bug, actually return the values that were computed,
        not a short version of the original array.
        
2005-05-19 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: fix error in the 2_0 side and split ReadLine in 2, one
        for each framework version.

2005-05-15  Andreas Nahr  <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Attribute.cs:
        * Exception.cs: .Net 1.1 already has these interfaces

Mon May 16 18:23:49 CEST 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs, Type.cs: do not create a SerializableAttribute
        object on GetCustomAttributes (fixes bug #74717).

2005-05-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : for 'z' next_not_digit didn't work as expected.
          Fixed bug #74775.

2005-05-15  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : don't allow extraneous pattern characters also for
          non-exact parsing (ParseExact() was fine). Bug #74936 fixed

2005-05-13  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Activator.cs: Match exceptions thrown by MS.NET for
        CreateInstance overloads if type is abstract. Fixes bug #74861.

2005-05-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * OperatingSystem.cs: PlatformID.Unix.

2005-05-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Patch from Gonzalo to fix Environment.OSVersion.
        Platform under NET_2_0 to return PlatformID.Unix. Fix bug #74841.

2005-05-07  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * NumberFormatter.cs : roundtrip number is already rounded before
          FormatGeneral() and DefaultMaxPrecision was extraneous. This fixes
          bug #72955.

2005-05-07  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (BinarySearch): Patch from kazuki to pass arguments to
        the comparer in the same order as msft. Fixes #70725

2005-05-06 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs: the hashtable don't need to be synchronized any more, since
        it's only accessed from withint a lock.

        * Console.cs: stdin, stdout and stderr will never be finalized. Fixes
        bug 74768.

2005-05-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Array.cs: Remove CLSCompliant (false) attributes.

2005-05-03  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Console.cs: CancelKeyPress is stubbed.

2005-04-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * ActivationContext.cs: Updated for beta2.

        * ApplicationId.cs: Updated for beta2.
        * ApplicationIdentity.cs: Updated for beta2.
        * Exception.cs: Now use Assembly.UnprotectedGetName () as Exception 
        doesn't leak the code base from the returned AssemblyName.

2005-04-25  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs (Environment.Version): Changed to 2.0.50215.

2005-04-22  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Attribute.cs: Added _Attribute interface to NET_2_0 to reduce the 
        number of "missing" in the class status pages.

2005-04-21 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MulticastDelegate.cs: (GetInvocationList) when building the list that

        * Char.cs : ToUpper()/ToLower() comparison ranges were incorrect.

2005-04-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * _AppDomain.cs: Add security checks to the interface. Declarative 
        security on events requires BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB to work properly 
        with older MCS.
        * AppDomain.cs: Add some (not complete) security checks. Bug#74411 is
        blocking some cases from working properly. Declarative security on 
        events requires BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB to work properly with older MCS.

2005-04-04  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Use the PolicyLevel to resolve the granted permissions
        on the AppDomain. Added an internal property to get the granted set.

2005-04-04  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        internal as it is not exposed by the framework yet.

2005-03-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * String.cs: Add some 2.0 methods.

2005-03-24  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: Now use the supplied evidences when loading 
        assemblies. Added LinkDemand for RemotingConfiguration on both
        GetObject methods.
        * Console.cs: Added Assert for UnmanagedCode on OpenStandard[Error|
        Input|Output] as they use a handle on a FileStream (which is
        restricted otherwise). Added Demand for UnmanagedCode for the
        Set[Error|In|Out] methods.

        methods will return null if a linkdemand fails during reflection 
        query.

2005-03-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2005-02-21  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * GC.cs Double.cs IntPtr.cs Array.cs Decimal.cs Math.cs Single.cs:
        Add net 2.0 ReliabilityContractAttributes.

2005-02-20 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        console driver.

        * TermInfoReader.cs:
        * TermInfoNumbers.cs:
        * KnownTerminals.cs:

2005-02-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Exception.cs (StackTrace): Implement this in managed code since it is
        needed by CAS. Fixes #72146.

2005-02-15 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * WindowsConsoleDriver.cs: implemented MoveBufferArea.

2005-02-14  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Array.cs (Array.Swapper) [!BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB]: Make nested.
        See #72015.

2005-02-12  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs (CompareTo, Equals): Make sure the versions for
        generics handle `null'. The non-generics versions now just call
        the regular versions, to reduce code duplication.

        * Boolean.cs (CompareTo): make this really work for generics 

        * Type.cs (GetProperty): Passing new Type [0] is different than
        null. null means `I don't care how many types this has,' while new
        Type [0] means `this must have 0 types.'

2005-02-11 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

Tue Feb 8 19:26:47 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: remove the finalizer from Delegate: this
        is handled internally by the runtime now.

2005-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: provide the Type name when throwing an exception.

2005-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: lock on the static Hashtable instead of 'this'. Fixes
        bug #72238.

Fri Feb 4 15:46:04 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: provide specialized versions of some methods.

        * String.cs: provide a managed memcpy and memset method
        for use both in corlib and from the JIT. Implement
        some methods with the managed helpers and remove some icalls.

        * Exception.cs: Added Data property for NET_2_0 (required for new
        unit tests).

2005-01-31 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * ConsoleDriver.cs:
        * TermInfoDriver.cs:

        * Console.cs: added more 2.0 methods and implemented some of them.


2005-01-30  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs : (FindSign) IndexOf() is better than creating substring.

2005-01-27  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * BadImageFormatException.cs: Protect the fusion (GAC) log from being
        disclosed unless code has ControlPolicy and ControlEvidence.

2005-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Exception.cs: Compute stack trace on demand.

2005-01-26  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Removed hack for static class (NET_2_0). Added 
        proper security for FailFast (documented in FDBK20543). Added new
        method IsRunningOnWindows to replace (Platform == 128) as the logic is
        gonna change in the future (Unix is id #4 in NET_2_0).

2005-01-24  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Added CAS security (both declarative and imperative)
        as a test. This shouldn't affect execution unless --security is 
        specified.

2005-01-19  Rafael Teixeira  <rafaelteixeirabr@hotmail.com>
        * Type.cs: Corrected implementation for the Type.FilterNameIgnoreCase
        and Type.FilterName delegates They weren't dealing with the optional '*'
        at the end of the filter mask

2005-01-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Array.cs: Fix a typo in the previous patch.
        
        * Array.cs: Fix some test failures in the generic methods.

        * Array.cs: Implement AsReadOnly.

2005-01-13  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Guid.cs: Fix endian issues (use Mono.Security.BitConverterLE).  Fixes
        #71242

2005-01-11  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Removed Activate and ActivateNewProcess methods. They
        have been removed from 2.0.

2005-01-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Boolean.cs Char.cs Single.cs Double.cs: Implement IComparable<T> in
        NET 2.0.

2005-01-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * ApplicationIdentity.cs: Throw ArgumentNullException if name is null.
        Add default culture (neutral) to the name when none is specified.
        * AppDomain.cs: Changed IsDefaultAppDomain (2.0). Is seems that we 
        can't trust Id ?

2005-01-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Reverted last patch for utc as it broke all certificate
        handling and another unit test in DateTime.

2005-01-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Return immediately if useutc is set to true, there
        is no need to do the extra computation (which also happened to
        create a new DateTime using the `use_localtime' constructor, which
        lead to the erroneous date returns when using 'u' or `U'
        formats).   

        Fixes another bug in the regression test suite.

2005-01-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 

        * AppDomain.cs: Fix the DefaultDomain property to return the root 
        domain (as it seems that the root's Id isn't always 0).
        * BitConverter.cs: The "special support" for ToString(new byte[0]) is
        only for NET_2_0 - previously this was an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

2005-01-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: The - sign inside the "negative" section in
        a multi-format string means `show the sign' only if it is the
        first token, not `copy verbatim'.  In the other sections it means
        `copy-verbatim'.

        This makes things like:  (-34).ToString ("#;-#") show up as "-34"
        instead of "--34".

        The bad news is that this code needs to be rewritten to handle all
        the formatting cases, see bug #71112 for details.

        * Convert.cs (Convert.ToType): Throw an InvalidCastException if
        the conversion is invalid, not ArgumentException, this fixes
        another regression in our test suite.

2005-01-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Add ApplicationIdentity property for 2.0;
        * AppDomainManager.cs: Remove HostRefusedSet support (it does not 
        exists anymore).

2005-01-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * DateTime.cs: Create MaxValue and MinValue using a different constructor to avoid static 
        initialization problems.

2005-01-02  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs: NumberStyles.AllowExponent was supported by the
        Int32.Parse function. From Akira <mei@work.email.ne.jp>. Fixes bug
        70469.

2005-01-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Base64FormattingOptions.cs : it was not in System namespace.

2004-12-21  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : If no progress on value string, don't regard as
          matched. This fixes bug #70707.

2004-12-20  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-12-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2004-12-06  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Exception.cs: Prevent stringifying the type name on the
        ctor. this gets called a few times on every execution to create a
        nullref exception.

2004-12-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Decimal constant support has been merged into GMCS,
        removed the FIXME.

2004-12-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.
        
        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-11-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        MS.NET. Fixes #56245.

2004-11-29  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * GC.cs : Collect(generation) actually does not throw an exception
          even if generation > MaxGeneration (MS document bug).

2004-11-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Exception.cs: Implement _Exception under NET_2_0.

        * Byte.cs SByte.cs UInt16.cs Int16.cs: Make these compile under csc 2.0.

2004-11-23  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Decimal.cs [NET_2_0]: Use old code till GMCS imports decimal
        constant support.

2004-11-23  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Decimal.cs [BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB]: Use old code for compilers
        without decimal constant support.

2004-11-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Decimal.cs: Updated to use compiler decimal constant support.

2004-11-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MonoType.cs: Revert last change since it breaks remoting.

2004-11-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MonoType.cs (UnderlyingSystemType): Make this return this as in
        MS.NET. Fixes #56245.

2004-11-17  Carlos Alberto Cortez <carlos@unixmexico.org>

        * INullable.cs: New interface added.
        * Nullable.cs: Methods added. Also a static Nullable class
        containing static methods.
        
2004-11-15  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * BitConverter.cs: Added support for special case when ToString is 
        called with (new byte [0]).

2004-11-10  Lluis Sanchez  <lluis@novell.com>

2004-11-03 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * InvalidOperationException.cs: make the message more meaningful and
        real. Fixes bug #69055.

2004-10-28  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Rather than == String.Empty, use .Length == 0. It
        is a bit faster (avoids a method call, and the code is less complex).

2004-10-24  Fawad Halim  <fawad@fawad.net>
        * Environment.cs: If an Environment variable value isn't found, leave the trailing % of the reference for further matches.
        Add text between end of current lookup window and next % match if we just got a match, or add all text to the end if there are no further % matches.
        This fixes bug #64995.

2004-10-19  Lluis Sanchez  <lluis@novell.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: Field _identity is not serializable.
        This fixes bug #68567.

2004-10-17  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs (ZeroPad): Use unsafe code to speed this up. We
        avoid entering slow integer formatting code.

        (_ToString): Use ZeroPad here when possible, as it is faster.

2004-10-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version to 28.

2004-10-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Throw an exception when converting null to a
        valuetype. Fixes #67780.

2004-10-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Performance fix. ParseExact() implementation should
          avoid s = s.Substring(1).

2004-10-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : When it it not exact parse, 'Z' is allowed as a suffix
          of m/s/t/z. This fixes bug 66723.

Wed Oct 6 12:37:54 CEST 2004 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: make GetHashCode() managed.

2004-10-04  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2004-10-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Int32.cs UInt32.cs Byte.cs SByte.cs Int16.cs UInt16.cs Int64.cs UInt64.cs: Implement 2.0 TryParse methods.

2004-09-30  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Convert.cs: ConvertToBase* was not endian aware.  Implemented EndianSwap
        and swapping of all values before going into the BitConverter so that values
        are returned with proper endianess.

2004-09-23  Martin Garton  <martin@wrasse.demon.co.uk>

          allows 12, that should not be accepted (13 is rejected) and
          interpreted as 0. This fixes bug 63376.

2004-08-17  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Fixed Clone so we can use it on versions with only

2004-07-29  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs : GacPath on windows is based on mscorlib.dll, and
          now its location is changed.

2004-07-21  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs: Return the MS.NET 2.0 beta1 runtime version for the
          NET_2_0 profile.

2004-07-13  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * ActivationContext.cs: New class in Fx 2.0. Required for 
        System.Security.Policy.
        * ApplicationIdentity.cs: New class in Fx 2.0. Required for

        System.Security.Policy.

2004-07-12  Geoff Norton <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Patch for bug #61112.  Our DateTime wasn't roundtripping over timezone
          boundaries properly.  This patch checkes ToLocalTime() to see if we're tripping over a boundary
          and will add/subtract the hour if needed

2004-07-07  Geoff Norton <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Monotype.cs: Patch for bug #58844.  Dont throw exceptions right away;
          pass through all the possibly BindingInfo's and keep a bool value as to the type
          of exception we might need to throw;

2004-07-07  Geoff Norton <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Patch to fix bug #58973

2004-07-02  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

2004-06-25  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@ximian.com>
        
        * Environment.cs: GetFolderPath has new behavior. r=miguel

2004-06-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the year is
        bigger than 9999. Fix bug #41845.
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Applied correction from Jon Skeet on
        the "R"eversible format for negative numbers.

2004-06-21  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Make sure to use invariant culture when parsing
        floats stringified with the invariant culture. Patch by Rodrigo
        B. de Oliveira.
        
2004-06-19  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs : Literal string should be kept in the
          output.

2004-06-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Concatenating whitespace removal was not working fine.
          Modified FormatException message (1 cent kindness).

2004-06-18  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>
        
        * Action.cs, ArraySegment.cs, Comparison.cs, Converter.cs, Predicate.cs:
        new generics classes
        * IComparable.cs: add the new <T> version.
        * EventHandler.cs: new <T> version.
        
2004-06-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: The icall can cope with embedded \0 now.

2004-06-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - Added new common pattern "yyyy/M/dZ"
          - empty string should not be compared in _ParseEnum()
          - Use culture independent string comparison in _ParseString()
          - Whitespace removal should be checked after '..' token check (some
            pattern such like es-ES LongDatePattern contains spaces in '..').
          - formats null check should be done (to throw ArgumentNullException)
            in ParseExact().
          - When specified one character format, dates are incorrectly regarded
            as to use invariant culture.

2004-06-18  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ArgIterator.cs: changed layout to Auto
        * DateTime.cs: changed layout to Auto

2004-06-18  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * DateTime.cs: CRLF to LF

2004-06-17  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed regression in System.Data caused by the recent 
        changes. Adapted (and moved) the code to correct the scale from 
        SqlMoney. Removed unused (and unusable) IsOne and fixed IsZero (where
        scale has no importance).

2004-06-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: In CreateInstance(), use Public|Instance if access binding
          attributes are omitted.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : GetDateTimeFormats(char, IFormatProvider) should also
          check if the format character is valid.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : AddDays(double) rounds the input.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Incorrect maxvalue comparison in ToUniversalTime().
          Fixed ToLocalTime() as well, but it does check range for MinValue.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Added overflow check in ToUniversalTime() and
          ToLocalTime(). Fixed bug #60253.

2004-06-16  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Implemented "R" format using Jon Skeet
        source code (with permission). Fix (biggest) part of bug #60110.
        http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/floatingpoint.html

2004-06-15  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed scale after Round (a different scale is correct 
        from a math point of view but affect the string representation of the
        value). Note: other operations also have scale problems!
        * DecimalFormatter.cs: Fixed FormatGeneral to match Fx 1.1 output.
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Fixed ToString which doesn't use banker's
        rounding (which is the rounding provided by Math.Round). This fix bug
        #60111. The code (new Round methods) should be moved elsewhere (as it
        may also be required elsewhere) post Mono 1.0.

2004-06-15  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: added TODO for serialization
        * ExecutionEngineException.cs: added missing serialization ctor
        * InvalidProgramException.cs: added missing serialization ctor
        * MulticastNotSupportedException.cs: added missing serialization ctor
        * ObsoleteAttribute.cs: fixed serialization compatibility with MS.NET
        * Random.cs: fixed serialization compatibility with MS.NET

2004-06-15  Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: removed unused (and non-existing) icall type_is_instance.

2004-06-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: use internalGetHome instead of getting "HOME" as
        that variable may not be defined.

2004-06-14  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Fixed timespan with large values for hours or minutes
        (overflow is only checked for days but can also occurs in hours and
        minutes which uses Int32 when multiplying). The new results match MS
        implementation.

2004-06-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs : Recognize '%' and '\u2030' and replace
          them with matching NumberFormatInfo properties.

2004-06-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs : Use IFormatProvider.GetFormat() instead of literal '-'.
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs :
          Use NumberFormatInfo.NegativeSign. This change saves many XSLT test
          failures.
          Format Permille pattern (It is undocumented but actually available,
          and used in xsl:format-number).

2004-06-14  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Console.cs (Console.Write, Console.WriteLine): Disable __arglist
        version with BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB.
        * String.cs (STring.Concat): Likewise.

2004-06-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs :
          - Don't format more than 15 fraction digits. Don't report to Pedro
            directly (removing the error message with his concent).
          - When format string starts with '.', it means integral part format 
            is not specified. Ignore '.' characters after the first
            appearance. Fixed bug #59890.
          - 0.0 is formatted only before the third ';' appearance.

2004-06-11  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Added a AddRoundedMilliseconds which use the "old Mono"
        rounding logic which worked for FromOADate (while the newer didn't).
        * TimeSpan.cs: Now throw an OverflowException when the timespan is
        over MaxValue or under MinValue.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs (Write, WriteLine): Implemented the varargs versions.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (Concat): Implemented the varargs version.

2004-06-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Hacked the Parse method to allow the runtime C code to
        decode it properly (i.e. matching MS results). Fixed the Round method
        for negative decimal numbers (moved code from Math.cs).
        * Math.cs: Now use Decimal class for Round(Decimal,int). Required to
        fix a bug when rounding a negative decimal.

2004-06-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: set the _principal to null when changing the policy.
        * Console.cs: remove ClsCompliant attribute from a method marked as
        internal and added comment.

2004-06-10  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Delegate.cs: marked protected fields private to match public
        API of MS.NET, marked DynamicInvokeImpl and GetMethodImpl
        protected to fix public API
        * Enum.cs: marked ctor protected to match public API of MS.NET
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: marked DynamicInvokeImpl protected to
        match public API of MS.NET

2004-06-10  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Added more common patterns.

2004-06-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed banker rounding by calling Math.Round. This won't
        be a performance winner (the actual Math code has a note to wait a
        better Decimal implementation) but it returns the correct results
        (without adding new code in corlib or the runtime). Fix #37744.

2004-06-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - A bunch of fixes (patch by Steven Brown). Fraction seconds are 
            now represented as double. Strict token check for 'Z'.
          - Pattern validity check in GetDateTimeFormats(char).
          - Fixed pattern "yyyy/M/d HH:mm:ss".

2004-06-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed remainder (and optimized some cases not to call 
        unmanaged code). Simplified divide. Removed workaround for bug #59793.
        Fixed GetHashCode to return different result for X and -X.

2004-06-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - Now re-checked all common format patterns. They should be tried
            with both current culture and invariant culture. Since '/' covers
            '-', removed extraneous patterns. Added more common patterns
            such as "yyyy-MM-dd" and X509Certificate pattern (it is valid
            only after NET_1_1). Commented out 1 character format patterns.
          - The format patterns we should try should not be obtained by
            GetAllDateTimePatterns(). Just use 'd', 'D', 't', 'T', ... (one
            character patterns), to handle UTC correctly. Examined patterns
            are changed, to 1) common patterns with specified (or current)
            culture, 2) common patterns with invariant, 3) The above "one
            character patterns" with specified (or current) culture.
          - When trying to parse some kind of patterns such as RFC1123, 
            always use invariant DateTimeFormatInfo so that they can avoid
            parsing with culture-dependent calendar.
          - Check "GMT" only when doing Parse(). Don't it when ParseExact().
          - Removed extraneous '-' case. It is not special one.
          - When ParseExact(), allow only '/' for '/' pattern character.
          - When Parse(), allow any non-letter & non-number characters.
          - When pattern is not fully parsed, reject that format.
          - Added "exact" parameter to some ParseExact().
          - RFC1123 pattern is (again) now parsed in local time. I regressed
            some problems in previous fix.

2004-06-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed cast to integer types to truncate (not round) the
        value.

2004-06-07  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Exception.cs (Source): This can return null.

2004-06-07  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Fixed FromFileTime for negative values. Fixed 
        constructor to limit range of milliseconds from 0,999. Fixed
        ToType method to work for object, string and DateTime.

2004-06-07  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Fixed OLE Automation date conversions: timezone 
        insensitive, wrong exception in FromOADate, handling of Min/Max 
        values, negative doubles where integer part is negative but 
        decimals are positive! Charming format ;-)

2004-06-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Fixed Join in case separator parameter is null.
        * TimeSpan.cs: Cache format errors during parsing and throw 
        FormatException only if there was no overflow.

2004-06-06  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: fixed issue where an empty array was 
        returned when GetCustomAttributes was invoked with null
        attribute type and there was only one result

2004-06-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * Int16.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * Int32.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * Int64.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * SByte.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * UInt16.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * UInt32.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * UInt64.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").

2004-06-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Fixed the convertion of negative integers (byte, short, 
        int and long) into string in a specific base (2, 8, 10 or 16).

2004-06-04  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Math.cs: Fixed IEEERemainder to return -0 (0x8000000000000000) when
        the dividend is negative and the result is 0 (remainder).

2004-06-03  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: Fix the NullReferenceException in Combine(Delegate[]).

2004-06-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Fixed overflow issues when delaing with big (days) time
        spans. Fixed parsing when only days are presents in the string (which
        should be illegal according to the documentation but is supported).

2004-06-01  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Fixed exceptions in FromXXX methods as they are 
        somewhat different from the documentation.

2004-06-01  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Type.cs: added missing attributes on InvokeMember

2004-06-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Flag concat with four arguments internal. 

2004-05-31  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fixed legal case where value is null.
        * Byte.cs: Fixed ToString when format is an empty string (use "G").
        * Guid.cs: Renamed private fields (and changed some to signed) to 
        match MS implementation and allow serialization to work. Fix 
        bug #59113.

2004-05-30  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: adjust milliseconds for fraction specifier ('f').

2004-05-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: Remove *again* the version of WriteLine with four
        arguments;  That should *not* be added.  

        Flag it as internal as people migrate their code.

2004-05-29  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Fixed ToSByte(string,IFormatProvider) to throw 
        ArgumentNullException (only case, all other returns 0). Fixed exception
        reporting for hex prefix only strings. Fixed ChangeTo where null could
        be misinterpreted between null and Empty.

2004-05-28  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Fixed integer parsing for special cases (0x, 0X for base
        16), non-base 10 negative numbers ... see new unit tests. Fixed the 
        case when we parse Int64.MinValue (positive doesn't fit a signed long).

2004-05-28  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Increment version number.
        
2004-05-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AppDomain.cs (Load): Try loading from assemblyRef.CodeBase if exists.
        Fixes #59189.

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : I reverted my fix by accident :(

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - In ToString(), Don't use culture-dependent daynames to format
            Universal/RFC1123 date/time. Also, use FullDateTimePattern for 'U'.
          - Fixed GetDateTimeFormats () that generated incorrect 'U' value 
            (since the format string is the same as 'F').

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : don't adjust utc value in ToString(). It must output
          the same time value, just adding 'Z' for UTC.

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : in 'Z' case, remove the 'Z' char from input before
          proceeding.

2004-05-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: InitAppDomainSetup is not needed now.

2004-05-27  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Byte.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.
        * Convert.cs: Convert with a base parameter cannot parse negative 
        string numbers, even "-0".
        * UInt16.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.
        * UInt32.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.
        * UInt64.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : 
          - Added "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss 'GMT'" and "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss 'GMT'"
            to common formats (yes, I know it is nothing more than hack)
          - Fixed some GetDateTimeFormats() that just returned patterns.
          - For InvariantCulture, now try both supported formats and our
            predefined formats.
          - It was accepting incorrectly extraneous characters. That caused
            some UTC/non-UTC bug.
          - RFC1123 string should return universal time. Uncomment again (the
            problem should went away because of the extra characters fix above.

            With some of the changes above, fixed bug #47720.

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : quick revert 'Z' support for certificate verifications.

2004-05-26  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Removed duplicate condition if LastIndexOf.

2004-05-26  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - Added "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" to "compatible patterns".
            (Fixed bug #58938.)
          - As a quick remedy to accept more patterns, Parse() now also tries
            InvariantInfo patterns (this is because we have no more than one
            pattern for each pattern component.)
          - In _DoParse(), 'Z' should not be read as timezone specifier. Some
            culture uses 'Z' as AM/PM designer, and it should be recognized as
            part of the UTCpattern (if it actually UTC pattern for the culture
            contains 'Z').

2004-05-26  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: Fixed issue with AllowMultiple, as MS
        seems to allow multiple attributes with AllowMultiple at
        runtime.

2004-05-26  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Byte.cs: Throw an OverflowException for negative numbers.
        * Convert.cs: Accept 0x and 0X as prefix when parsing base16 strings.
        * Environment.cs: Bumped mono_corlib_version to 20 (rng interface).

2004-05-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fixed possible integer overflow.
        * BitConverter.cs: Fixed a possible integer overflow in ToString.
        * Guid.cs: Added an internal method to create a random Guid without
        using CryptoConfig (which is heavy on first use). This is only used
        in S.R.E.ModuleBuilder to speedup MCS compilation.
        * String.cs: Fixed reported exception for PadLeft|Right. Fixed 
        possible integer overflow in methods that takes index and count
        as parameters.

2004-05-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * String.cs: Add new Strcpy icalls which take a char array as 
        parameter.

2004-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : added more invariant format patterns. This should
          really fix bug #57656.

2004-05-25 14:14 CET Patrik Torstensson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * BitConverter.cs (ToBoolean): Return true or false instead
        of unsafe returing byte as bool. Fixes bug #58874.

2004-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : In ToString(string, IFormatProvider), use "G" if
          string format argument is null.

2004-05-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Rename of data fields to match those in Microsoft.NET.
          Patch by PAF@design.ru.

2004-05-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: allow double quotes in the formats. Don't set
        next_not_digit to true in presence of single or double quotes. Patch by
        Martin Probst.

2004-05-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs (InitAppDomainSetup): This one returns void.

2004-05-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fixed exception when we try to Clear outside bounds.
        * Boolean.cs: Fixed Equals for True!=True (see bugzilla #58874).
        * BitConverter.cs: Fixed negative index and integer overflow in
        To... methods.
        * Buffer.cs: Fixed integer overflow in BlockCopy.

2004-05-22  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Clear can now work on multidimentional arrays.
        * IntPtr.cs: We now only accept 32bits values in the long constructor
        unless we're on a 64 bits machine.
        * UIntPtr.cs: We now only accept 32bits unsigned values in the ulong 
        constructor unless we're on a 64 bits machine.

2004-05-22  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: The file was mostly in DOS endings already, for the
        sake of consistency, converted it all to DOS endings.
        (ToType): When value is null, immediately return null and don't
        ever throw a NullReferenceException. When conversionType is null,
        throw an InvalidCastException. Give a better error message when
        attempting to convert to a DBNull as well.

2004-05-21  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed To... methods that needs to trunk the integer part
        of Decimal (and not use the banker's rounding like Convert.To...).
        * Single.cs: Fixed CompareTo and Equals (copied fix from Double) wrt
        to NaN compares (see new unit tests).

2004-05-20  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Added checks for integer overflow for From|ToBase64Char.
        Also fixed the case where wide (16 bits) characters were converted to 
        bytes.

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * ThreadStaticAttribute.cs
        * ContextStaticAttribute.cs
        * FlagsAttribute.cs
        * ObsoleteAttribute.cs : now that Inherited is false by
        default on AttributeUsageAttribute (as it should be) we
        need to explicitly set Inherited to false for those
        attributes should it be be false.

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * AttributeUsageAttribute.cs: Inherited property should be
        true by defaultrs.cs: respect Inherited property, and

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: respect Inherited property, and
        AllowMultiple property of a CustomAttribute. This fixes
        a major issue we had with respect to custom attributes.

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoType.cs: throw ArgumentNullException when type parameter in
        GetCustomAttributes(Type, bool) is null

2004-05-18  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Buffer.cs: Added checks for null source and destination. Fix failing
        CryptoStream unit test.
        * Guid.cs: Fixed thread-safety issue. Simplified implementation to use
        pseudo-random numbers to generate GUIDs (as per section 3.4 of the 
        spec). This removes the TODO to get the computer MAC address and
        the chances to get a duplicate GUID (across different machines).

2004-05-17  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Only catch expected exceptions, if we get other exceptions
          than OverflowExceptions then something went wrong internally

2004-05-17  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Char.cs: Fix long standing bug with ToLower/ToUpper not being
          culture - sensitive

2004-05-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Buffer.cs: Optimize BlockCopy.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-05-14  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * __ComObject.cs : This class is not regarded as CLSCompliant by csc.
          See also bug #58478.

2004-05-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: don't throw an exception if dynamic_base has not
        been set. Just return null as MS. Fixes bug #58120.

2004-05-14  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Boolean.cs, Byte.cs, Char.cs, DBNull.cs, DateTime.cs,
          Decimal.cs, Double.cs, Enum.cs, Int16.cs, Int32.cs,
          Int64.cs, IntegerFormatter.cs, SByte.cs, Single.cs,
          String.cs, UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs: Removed
          useless [CLSCompliant (false)]


2004-05-13  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: To please corcompare (no implementation).

2004-05-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-05-13  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environement.cs: Removed two security attributes for CurrentDirectory
        that weren't documented (and anyway we don't support them).

2004-05-11  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Char.cs: Fix exceptions

2004-05-11  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MissingMemberException.cs: Fix in serialization constructor.

2004-05-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: GetGacPath return value is resolved at runtime on
        windows.

2004-05-07  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>
 
        * Convert.cs: ToBase64CharArray method was depending on a bug in 
        S.S.C.ToBase64Transform class to work. Added an internal method to 
        provide the same functionality (multiple block processing).

2004-05-06  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Make $HOME the personal directory.

2004-05-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>
 
        * Convert.cs: ToBase64String method was depending on a bug in 
        S.S.C.ToBase64Transform class to work. Added an internal method to 
        provide the same functionality (multiple block processing).

2004-05-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>
 
        * Environment.cs: Completed OSVersion property.
        * Version.cs: Added internal CreateFromString() to "try" to build the
        best version number form the specified string.
 
2004-05-01  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Redid a lot of stuff in TimeSpan from scratch.
          Fixes several potential bugs and makes things way faster.

2004-05-01  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Formatting changes

2004-04-29 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Activator.cs: change _flags to a const.
        * IntegerFormatter.cs: make tables readonly.
        * Convert.cs: tables readonly
        * DateTime.cs: ditto.
        * IntPtr.cs: avoid a cctor.

2004-04-29  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

2004-04-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Applied patch from Atsushi Enomoto that allows Synchronized
        writers to have a `dont close' flag, this fixes 52094

2004-04-29  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs, MonoType.cs: Property.GetGetMethod() does not
        return the method if it is private (it did until now because of a
        bug). Make sure it works as it worked before the fix.
        * Type.cs: Implemented FilterAttribute delegate.

2004-04-28  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Prevent the use of the explicit static constuctor

2004-04-27  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Made functions internal (needed by other patches)

2004-04-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: TODO cleaning.
        * Delegate.cs: GetObjectData should be virtual.
        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Method factorization. I don't want to fix bugs in
          30 methods almost identical.
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: Implemented GetObjectData.
        
2004-04-26  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Things going bump in the night.

2004-04-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (toBase64Transform): Make private.

2004-04-25  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Convert.cs:
        * Decimal.cs:
        * DecimalFormatter.cs:
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Call invariant Char functions
        * Guid.cs: Call invariant Char and String functions
        * String.cs: Call invariant Char functions

2004-04-25  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * String.cs: Refactored the Invariant ToXXX into its own internal methods
          so they are directly callable within corlib (can prevent early
          construction of CultureInfo, InvariantCulture and related classes)

2004-04-24  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * String.cs: Managed impl. of Invariant parts of ToLower, ToUpper
        * Char.cs: Managed impl. of Invariant parts of ToLower, ToUpper

2004-04-24  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * String.cs: Check for null values

2004-04-23  Peter Bartok <pbartok@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs: GetLogicalDrives now returns "/" instead of null. Gonzalo
          will do a better fix in the future, but this way apps can at least use it.

2004-04-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Better support for GetFolderPath (same results as MS 
          on Windows).

2004-04-22  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: Removed TODOs for finished methods.
        * AppDomainSetup.cs: When setting a relative path to ApplicationBase, it
          must be relative to the current directory, not the temp directory.
          Implemented DynamicBase.
        * Convert.cs: No need to create a ToBase64Transform instance at every call
          to ToBase64CharArray.
        * DateTime.cs: Implemented missing methods FromFileTimeUtc and 
          ToFileTimeUtc.
        * Decimal.cs: Implemented FromOACurrency and ToOACurrency.
        * Delegate.cs: Removed class TODO.
        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Use Char.IsLetter and Char.IsDigit instead of ad-hoc
          methods.
        * Type.cs: Removed TODOs for things already implemented.
        
2004-04-21  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs: Implemented culture-dependent ToLower and ToUpper methods.

        * DateTime.cs: Implemented GetDateTimeFormats and GetDateTimeFormats.
        * DelegateSerializationHolder.cs: Made class internal.

          to be done for all classes.
        * Environment.cs: Removed TODO.
        * Exception.cs: Changed ToString to use StringBuilder.
        * MonoDummy.cs: Made class internal.
        * UnitySerializationHolder.cs: Added support for modules.

2004-04-16  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

        * DecimalFormatter.cs: Don't append a decimal point after the
          end of a number. ((decimal)1).ToString("P0") should be "100 %", not
          "100. %"

2004-04-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * OutOfMemoryException.cs: Removed the call to Locale.GetText from
          this.

2004-04-10  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoDummy.cs: added MonoTODO to make sure we remove this class
          when its no longer needed

2004-04-09  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

        * Convert.cs: Allow + signs in strings for ToInt32, and
          - if it is base 10.

2004-04-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Nullable.cs : usingdecl should also be conditional.

2004-04-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Nullable.cs: New file.

2004-04-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs (Type.GetGenericArguments): Make this abstract.

2004-04-07  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Increase corlib version number.
        
2004-04-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs:
        (ExpandEnvironmentVariables): on windows, env. vars. are case
        insensitive.

2004-04-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Added static to [ThreadStatic] _principal field. 
        Removed [ThreadStatic] for _principalPolicy (not required).

2004-04-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Guid.cs: Flag as Sequential.

2004-04-02  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: More sanity checks in Replace().  Fixes bug 55822.

2004-04-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Implement ExpandEnvironmentVariables static method.
        Now call the runtime to get the username (fix #56144).

2004-04-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: AssemblyQualifiedName now displays culture, version...
        Fixes bug #56341.

2004-03-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: If we fail to open stdin/stdout/stderr, create
        readers with a NullStream.  This can happen if our caller does not
        setup stdin/stoud/stderr file handles.  #56158 exposed this, but
        it will happen elsewhere.

2004-03-29  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: In ToSingle(double), removed checks for Single.MaxValue
        and Single.MinValue. MS.NET don't do it. This fixes bug #56005.
        * Guid.cs: Added support for guid strings in the "N" and "P" formats in
          the constructor. This fixes bug #54019.

2004-03-23  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Made the class thread safe. Had to move some
          internal variables to structures that are moved around methods.
          Factorized some common formatting code into FormatNumberInternal.
          
2004-03-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Allow any character for DateSeparator when parsing,
        except TimeSeparator, a digit or a letter.  Fixes bug 54047.  Also
        deleted the previous fix for 54721, because this covers it too.
        
2004-03-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Check the date string for too many digits when
        parsing.  Fixes bugs 53023 and 53025.

2004-03-22  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Use the provider when converting strings to other
        types.

        * DateTime.cs: Add MM-dd-yyyy to the list of standard date parsing
        formats.  Fixes bug 54721.

2004-03-22  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Style, implemented two methods (redirect)

2004-03-21  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Set precision from number format info
        when it is not specified. This fixes bug #54983.
        
2004-03-18  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@ieee.org>

        * Math.cs: Use IsNaN() method not "x == NaN".

        * BadImageFormatException.cs: Improved/ Fixed implementation

2004-03-15  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Random.cs: Corrected random value when Next is called with a 
        negative value. Testing indictae that our results aren't exactly the 
        same as MS, we have a +/- 1 (probably rounding errors due to 
        different implementation).

2004-03-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: updated corlib version.

2004-03-15  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

          SByte.cs, Single.cs, UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs: Renamed internal
          field "value" to "m_value", so it is interoperable with MS.NET when 
          serializing and deserializing data. Based on the patch from Daniel
          Keep.

2004-03-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: FromBase64 now ignore some characters (tab, LF, CR and
        spaces) which fixed #54939. Changed the way that the length is 
        validated (multiple of 4) because the ignored characters must not be
        included in the count.

2004-03-10  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * String.cs: Monostyled

2004-02-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Concat() fixed crash when one of the arguments is an object
          whose ToString() method returns null.
        * TypeLoadException.cs: Added some serialization fiels, needed for
          compatibility with MS.NET.

2004-02-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * String.cs (Equals): Speed up this method by avoiding Array
         Bounds Checks and by comparing by 32 bit words rather than 16 bit chars.

        This gives between 0x (for 1 char) and >2x (for large strings)
        factor of improvement.

        A big thanks to Miguel, who suggested the integer compares.

2004-02-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: use the binder in GetPropertyImpl.

2004-02-22  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

          speedup of some methods by avoiding method calls

2004-02-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs : optimized IsSeparator(), IsWhiteSpace() and IsDigit().
          (Moved from InternalCall to Managed code).

2004-02-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs (GetConstructors): Renamed the interncall to
        GetConstructors_internal(), made it internal and added a `Type
        reflected_type' argument to it.
        (GetEvents, GetFields): Likewise.
        (GetMethodsByName): Added `Type reflected_type' argument.
        (GetPropertiesByName): Likewise.

2004-02-16  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormater.cs: Allow precision to be up to the number
        of decimals without rounding.
        
2004-02-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Delegate.cs (Equals): Do not compare method_ptr, since it might
        point to a trampoline.

2004-02-12  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: If relative paths are used they should be
        rooted in the temp directory.
        
2004-02-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Type.cs (FilterNameIgnoreCase_impl): Added extra check for speedup.

2004-02-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AppDomain.cs (Load): Check that assemblyRef.Name is not empty, to
        avoid an assert in the runtime.

2004-02-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Always let a Convert.ChangeType call
        succeed if the source object is already of the destination type.

        Patch by Ian MacLean (ianm@activestate.com).

2004-02-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Implemented SetPrincipalPolicy and SetThreadPrincipal.

2004-02-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-02-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.ca>

        * DateTime.cs: Corrected support for "Z" in the mask (Parse). This
        fix bug #53461.

2004-01-27  Sebastien Pouliot  <spouliot@videotron.ca>

        * Exception.cs: Changed ToString to remove the \n when no stack trace
        is present (which fixed a unit test for SecurityException). Changed
        all \n to Environment.NewLine.

2004-01-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * ContextBoundObject.cs: Removed TODO.

2004-01-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: fixed bug #52075. Days (int) don't rely on TotalDays
        (double), which might round up.

2004-01-19  Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Use the default decimal digits count
        if they are not specified. This fixes bug #52927.
        
2004-01-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump version number.

2004-01-19  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: Added internal call for IsInstanceOfType. The old implementation
        uses IsAssignableFrom(o.GetType()), which is not always valid for 
        transparent proxies (because GetType will not return the type of the remote
        object if its assembly is not present).

2004-01-18  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

  * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Skip the decimal point if we have an 
    integer mantassa. So: 1E+15, rather than 1.E+15.

2004-01-18  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

        * Array.cs (GetValue/SetValue): Throw NullRef exception like .NET 1.1, 
        even though docs say it should be an ArgumentNull. Two test cases now
  pass. See also nickd's commit of 2003-12-24.

2004-01-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: increased corlib version.

2004-01-14  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: Removed attribute cache. Attribute instances can't
        be reused because they could be modified. This fixes bug #52655.

2004-01-12  Patrik Torstensson

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version number due to new StringBuilder
        
        * String.cs: New internal method to support the new StringBuilder that
        uses the string as a buffer (until ToString is called)

2004-01-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version number for real this time.
        
        * AppDomain.cs (LoadAssembly): Pass the assembly name as a string to
        the runtime, so it can take into account the Culture etc.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version number.
        
2004-01-12  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: GetMethods renamed to GetMethodsByName. It takes a
        new parameter with the method name and a boolean for ignoring case.
        Removed some string comparisons no longer needed.

2004-01-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: GetProperties renamed to GetPropetiesByName. It takes a
        new parameter with the property name and a boolean for ignoring case.
        Fixes bug #52753.

2004-01-11  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

          the flags is unnamed, ToString() returns the integer value.

2003-07-22  Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>

        * Guid.cs: Fixed ToString (), was producing incorrect string.

2003-07-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: fixed bug #46609.

Thu Jul 17 17:28:27 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: use an icall for IsPrimitiveImpl ().

Thu Jul 17 15:23:17 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Guid.cs: faster ToString ().

2003-07-15  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Few changes for get working Rotor
        tests.

2003-07-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Type.cs (IsAssignableFrom): Implement this as an icall since the
        runtime already includes the neccessary logic.

2003-07-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: remove the "file://" prefix from ApplicationBase
        if it's present and get the full path for non-Uri paths.

2003-07-2  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Fixed formatting of fractions of second.

2003-06-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Console.cs: Turn off buffering for the streams returned by
        OpenStandardOutput () and OpenStandardError () if the buffer size is 0.

2003-06-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Random.cs: Changed behavior of Random to match MS.NET. When Next is
          called with maxvalue==0 or minvalue==maxvalue, MS.NET internally generates
          a new random number (although it is not needed), while mono did not. 
          As a result, the sequence of random numbers could be different for the
          same seed.

Thu Jun 26 16:06:35 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: use dec_len2 as default precision.

2003-06-26  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Modified constructor. Check for valid value of TimeSpan must
          be done after the correspondig UTC offset has been applied.

2003-06-26  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: Object must have the Serializable attribute.
        * DateTime.cs: Fixed _DoParse() so it correctly applies the utc offset
          to the resulting date. Also fixed _ToString so now correctly formates the
          UTC offset.

Wed Jun 18 19:22:22 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs: fix race in cache (bug#41841).

Wed Jun 18 18:52:11 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: if the precision is not specified, use
        the default precision for the data type.

Wed Jun 18 18:11:30 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException in Copy if needed
        (patch by tum@veridicus.com (Thong (Tum) Nguyen)).

2003-06-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: don't throw nullref when the return type for a property
        is specified and the property doesn't have a get accessor.

2003-06-10  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (CreateInstance): Fixed a typo. It should throw
        ArgumentNullException instead of ArgumentException.

2003-06-09  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Revert the last revert. I fixed it.
        (Sort): Put a try-catch block around qsort, and wrap whatever
        Exception we get into a InvalidOperationException.

2003-06-08 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * Array.cs: Revert last patch, it broke some other functionality.
                
2003-06-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Throw more exceptions. This fixes the errors we see
        from the Rotor testsuite.

        (CreateInstance): Throw ArgumentNullException when the input are
        null. Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException when bounds + length is
        greater than Int32.MaxValue.
        (LastIndexOf): Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException if index is outside
        the valid range of indices of array.
        (Sort): Throw InvalidOperationException when comparer is null and
        none of the elements in keys implements IComparable.

2003-06-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (CreateInstance): Throw a TypeLoadException if the
        Length of the input array 'lengths' is greater than 255 so that we
        won't see the g_assert that is in mono_array_class_get in class.c.

        This fixes bug #44304.

2003-06-05  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * UnitySerializataionHolder.cs: Cleanups according to class status page

Wed Jun 4 16:59:39 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: implemented the needed stuff to handle
        vararg calls.

2003-06-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <spouliot@videotron.ca>

        * Random.cs: New implementation based on Knuth ran3 to fix #43597.
        See http://www.library.cornell.edu/nr/bookcpdf/c7-1.pdf. Commited
        for Ben Maurer after review and testing.

2003-05-28  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
        
        * Array.cs: Added better argument checking to Array.Sort ()
        * DBNull.cs: Made the conversions throw like they do in MS.

2003-05-24  Philip Van Hoof  <me@freax.org>

        * Math.cs: Add the MS.NET 1.1 methods (BigMul, DivRem, DivRem).

2003-05-21  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Take care with the explicit precision
        and round the number to that precision.

        * DoubleFormatter.cs: Adapt to the two level precision (15 - 17).

        * SingleFormatter.cs: Adapt to the two level precision (7 - 8).

        introduced the last change I've done.

2003-05-17  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Array.cs: Fixed SyncRoot to behave like MS (return this). Removed 
        MonoTODO from SyncRoot (because fixed) and IsSynchronized (it was
        behaving correctly).
        
2003-05-17  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Fixed little format mismatches.

2003-05-16  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        construction if the delegate list only has one element.

2003-05-01  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * Environment.cs: Changed the method GetFolderPath because it must
        return at least a directory name (not null).

        * Convert.cs: In ToType, if the destination type is unknown, try to
        cast the value to object (then, the calling method will downcast it

2003-04-30  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2003-04-22  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Little fixes for get the same results
        as MS.NET and show a message when something goes wrong with the
        parser of Custom Formats.

2003-04-22  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (ToString):

        * Object.cs ValueType.cs: Make the Object::GetHashCode() and 
        ValueType::Equals() icalls static non-virtual, so they can be called
        by the code in RuntimeHelpers.

2003-04-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs (operator ==): Do not crash if the second argument
        is null.  Bug fix submitted by Juan Cri.

2003-04-18  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <kiwnix@yahoo.es>

        * Array.cs: Deleted the exception in Array.Initialize(), it looks
        like the method do nothing for C#, is still a MonoTODO until
        we find a compiler that uses that.

2003-04-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs (Delegate): Seems like a typo, we were checking the
        a field rather than the argument

        versions of the their readers/writers.

2003-04-04  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Make operator== and operator!= cope with null
        objects.  Didn't change operator<, operator<=, operator> or
        operator>= because its not meaningful to use those to compare
        against null, and throwing a NullReferenceException is probably
        the best thing to do there anyway.

        Fixes bug 40720.

2003-04-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: fixed InvalidCastException.

2003-03-30  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

2003-03-26  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs:
        (GetMethodImpl): support BindingFlags.IgnoreCase flag. Fixes bug #40322.

2003-03-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Activator.cs (CreateInstance): Call GetConstructor with the right
        arguments so the nonPublic argument is handled correctly.

2003-03-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: fixed bug #40123.

2003-03-22  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Fixed some bugs for get the same
        results than MS.NET. Added simple error recovering, now ToString
        will return a general format if there is any exception in the
        process of formatting. This make the library more robust while the
        formatters are refined.

2003-03-16  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Added support for group separators.

        * Single.cs:
        * Double.cs: Temporarily reverted the Double and Single ToString()
        change, because it broke nunit.


2003-03-04  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * Double.cs: Changed ToString method. Added NumberFormatInfo support
        with DoubleFormatter class.

        be converted before subtracting the magic offset.
        * DateTime.cs: Strings in the format "2003-02-27T10:05:03-11:00" (note
        the timezone at the end) *must* be parsed by DateTime.Parse() for
        compatibility with Microsoft.

2002-12-28  Marcus Urban <mathpup@mylinuxisp.com>

        * Activator.cs: Since the documentation indicates the method
        either succeeds or throws one of the listed exceptions, we weren't
        expecting that CreateInstance might be returning null.

        For more information on the bug, see http://bugs.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=36109

2002-12-20 Lluis Sanchez Gual <lsg@ctv.es>

2002-11-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: undo latest changes. It breaks the build by
        some obscure reasons (try make -f makefile.gnu using a corlib which has

        * String.cs:
        (Equals (str, str)): use 'as' instead of casting to object.
        (Equals (obj)): check the length of the strings (until now,

        * RuntimeMethodHandle.cs: implemented GetFunctionPointer().

2002-09-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: implemented LoaderOptimization.

2002-07-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        Invoke only with Type [] until the other overloaded versions work.

2002-07-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

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

        * Double.cs (CompareTo): Correctly handle the case where the instance

2002-06-30  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (CompareTo): Just see which is bigger.  Don't use the

        less than one.

        * Single.cs (CompareTo): same

2002-06-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * UIntPtr.cs (UIntPtr.Zero): Use an explicit `u' suffix in the

        unsigned integer doesn't work with mcs.]

2002-06-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * DecimalFormatter.cs: Removed MSTEST stuff, use `System',
        not `S = System'.  This file now compiles with mcs.

        * String.cs: Removed the already ifdef-outed __arglist Concat function
        to make it compile with mcs.

2002-06-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

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>

        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>

        * DateTime.cs: fixes to pass tests M0 to M6:
                if yy pattern then year values >= 30 are in 20th century
                rfc1123 pattern is always in GMT, therefor useutc must be false
        made GetNow() internal static so it can be called from TimeZone.
        * TimeZone.cs: removed dependency on year 2002 from initialization of 
        current timezone.

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.

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

2002-05-30  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * MonoType.cs (GetInterface): Implemented.

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.

        This should fix bug 25075.
        
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.

        * 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:

        in Int32.cs

2002-05-12  Daniel Morgan <danmorg@sc.rr.com>

        * IServiceProvider.cs: added using System

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.

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.

2002-05-01  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: 
        * Math.cs: Added missing CLSCompliant attributes where necessary.
        
2002-04-30  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Math.cs: fix Floor () and Round (). Closes #23960.

2002-04-27  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * 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.

2002-04-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs: Implemented the IConvertible methods.

2002-04-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2002-04-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DecimalFormatter.cs (ToString): return correct value when the
        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:
        * UInt32.cs:

        * String.cs (Split): fixed invalid split of count 0 and 1.
        
2002-04-23      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>
        
        * String.cs (LastIndexOf): fixed argument checking.
        * String.cs (Equals): made internal for performace.

        * UInt32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: 
        * UInt64.cs: fixed error when testing for validity of flags.

2002-04-11  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs: Use an internal call for ToString(). This is just a simple
        implementation to get away from throwing a NotImplementedException.

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

        * Int32.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: 
        * UInt64.cs: changed Type.GetType () by typeof (), as suggested by
        lupus.

        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: throw an OverFlowException when parsing a string 
        containing a dot followed by any non '0' number.

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

        * Byte.cs:
        * UInt16.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * UInt64.cs: added complex Parse ().

2002-04-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * SByte.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.cs (Substring): Copy only non-null characters to the new
        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>

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 more off by one errors.

Thu Feb 14 18:54:09 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: fix IsValueTypeImpl.
        * Type.cs: fix IsEnum. Implement Equals methods.

Wed Feb 13 21:50:13 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs: implement IConvertible interface.
        
2002-02-12  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: Implemented and added to CVS.

2002-02-11  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Implemented the ChangeType () methods.

Mon Feb 11 19:48:58 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: make Clone() an internal call.

2002-02-09  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Changed Guid.NewGuid so that it can use both System.Random and 
          System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator

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

2002-02-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * RuntimeArgumentHandle.cs: Added to CVS.

Fri Feb 8 19:14:54 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * CrossAppDomainDelegate.cs, AssemblyLoadEventHandler.cs,
        UnhandledExceptionEventHandler.cs: added delegates.

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

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: add ToString () method
        (apparently needed by nunit).
        * _AppDomain.cs: uncomment ToString(): dietmar fixed the bug triggered
        by it in the runtime.

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

2002-02-07  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>
        
        * DuplicateWaitObjectException:
        * InvalidCastException:
        * NotImplementedException:
        * NotSupportedException:
        * NullReferenceException:
        * OutOfMemoryException:
        * OverflowException:
        * RankException:
        * StackOverflowException.cs:
        * UnauthorizedAccessException: Added missing constructor used for serialization.

2002-02-07  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (System.Compare): bug fix 

2002-02-06  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * 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>

        * Enum.cs: added more functionality (GetName, ToObject, Equals)

2002-01-31  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * InvalidOperationException.cs:
        * NotFiniteNumberException.cs:
        * ObjectDisposedException.cs:
        * TypeInitializationException.cs: Added missing bits for serialization/
        
        * AppDomainUnloadedException.cs:

        * SystemException.cs (System): Added the other constructor, so
        that System.Threading exceptions can inherit it.

2001-09-08  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (TrimStart): Don't keep looping through the trimchars
        once we've found a match.
        (TrimEnd): Same here.
        (Trim): And finally here.

2001-09-07  Ravi Pratap  <ravi@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs (IsLetterOrDigit): Implement.
        (IsLower): Implement, but we need to be Unicode aware.
        (IsNumber): Implement.
        (IsPunctuation): Implement.
        (IsWhiteSpace): Implement.
        (ToUpper): Fix to subtract 32 from the ASCII value, not 33 :)
        (ToLower): Same here.

2001-09-04  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: Shortcut, if (a == b) then return true.

Fri Sep 7 18:34:48 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: we need a pointer to the method thunk in
        the delegate object.

Fri Sep 7 12:28:01 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (BoyerMoore): Modified to not use pointers and to instead
        use indexes.
        (IndexOf): Use BoyerMoore.

2001-09-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * All over: Use the autogenerated enumerations from the ECMA
        documentation that Sergey wrote.
        
        * PlatformID.cs: Add Unix definition.

        * OperatingSystem.cs: Use Unix instead of Linux here.

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: Mark class as [Serializable].

2001-08-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: impl. (write only)
        implemented the stdin stuff

        * Int32.cs: impl. real op_Equal

2001-08-24  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * (common.src): Removed IAsyncResult as it is not on CVS yet.

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

2001-08-23  Michael Lambert <michaellambert@email.com>

        * IntPtr.cs: Optimized unsafe declaration, implemented GetObjectData, 
        added CLSCompliant attribute

        * IAsyncResult.cs: Added

        * common.src: Added IAsyncResult.cs

2001-08-23  Michael Lambert <michaellambert@email.com>

        * UIntPtr.cs: Added

        * common.src: Added UIntPtr.cs

2001-08-20  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Attribute.cs: uncomment some code to make it compile again

        * mono.src: removed duplicated Attribute.cs

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

        * Array.cs: make it work with the mono interpreter

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>

        * IntPtr.cs: Added and Completed implementation.

        * 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

2001-08-02  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Math.cs: replaced libc with libm

2001-08-02  Bob Smith  <bob@thestuff.net>

        * Random.cs: Implemented. Needs testing.

2001-08-02  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * IServiceProvider.cs, EventHandler.cs: New files.

2001-08-02  Marcel Narings  <marcel@narings.nl>
        
        * 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

        * Double.cs: Fixed ECMA min and max values. Added IsInfinity /
        IsNaN methods. Changed Inf/NaN internals.

        * IConvertible.cs: Added comments for using
        Convert.ToType. Changed return values to draft base values.

        * Int16.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * Int32.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * Int64.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        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
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * UInt64.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.
        
2001-07-20  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * MulticastDelegate.cs: New File.

        * Delegate.cs: New file.

        * Enum.cs: New file.

        * Attribute.cs: New file.

        * Type.cs: New file.

        * 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

2001-07-12  Sean MacIsaac  <macisaac@ximian.com>

        * 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.

        * 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,
        ExecutionEngineException.cs, FormatException.cs,
        IndexOutOfRangeException.cs, InvalidCastException.cs,
        InvalidOperationException.cs, InvalidProgramException.cs,

        NotSupportedException.cs, NullReferenceException.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.

2001-06-26  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * TypeCode.cs: Implement

        * Void.cs: Implement.

        * TODO: Add file to keep track of pending tasks.

        * Object.cs, ValueType.cs: Implement.
