115 The Mono project is an open source effort sponsored by <a

158 @item Apr 02, 2004: Mono C# Compiler gets CLS support; Basic Runtime Contribution from Mainsoft.
160 Marek Safar has been working for a few months on adding
161 support to the C# compiler to support the various checks required
162 by the Common Language Specification (CLS).
164 In the past the C# compiler was unable to flag any problems
165 related to the creation of cross-language libraries. Today
166 with this patch the compiler will properly flag errors in CLS
167 compliance. Tests for all of the errors have also been

202 @item Mar 15th, 2004: Async IO lands on Mono.
204 Gonzalo has completed the implementation of Async I/O for Mono
205 using the kernel aio_* interfaces. If your operating system supports
206 the aio_ POSIX interface, the FileStream methods that
207 expose asynchronous methods will use this facility instead of
208 emulating it with threads as we have done in the past.
210 We had this request come to us from various people in the
211 past, and we are now looking for your help to test and debug
