Ximian announced the
launch of the Mono project, an effort to create an Open Source
implementation of the .NET Development Framework.
Mono includes: a compiler for the
C# language, a runtime for the
Common Language Infrastructure and a set of class libraries
You can read our rationale for
this project. If you have questions about the project, please

Questions or contact us.

Sharp
Develop 0.80 was released today.
** Sep 26, 2001
More progress: more opcodes are working (Paolo); The compiler
runs up to a point in Mint (Paolo); operator overloading works
(both unary and binary) all over the place (Miguel); Completed decimal
type conversions (Miguel); New build system in place based on
Ant (Sean and Sergey); Refactored and documented the
internals of the JIT engine (Dietmar); StatementExpressions
handled correctly (Miguel).
** Sep 21, 2001
A couple of news-worthy items: Dick got the initial thread
support into mint; Paolo implemented many new opcodes; Dietmar
got long operations and mul/div working on the JITer; Ravi rewrote
the Method selector for expressions to be conformant; Miguel
got i++ working. All in tonight's snapshot
** Sep 19, 2001
Paolo has written a section on Porting
Mono to othre architectures.
** Sep 18, 2001
Mono 0.7 has been
released (runtime engine, class libraries
and C# compiler). Check the Mono
0.7 announcement for details
** Sep 17, 2001
Mike Kestner's Gtk# (Gtk-sharp) was checked into the CVS
repository. Gtk# can run a simple hello world application.
The binding is nice, as it maps Gtk+ signals to delegates in
C#. You can see the Gtk# Hello World program here
Gtk-sharp should be available on the next snapshot set.
** Sep 10, 2001
Dietmar checked in his CIL tree/forest regeneration and most
importantly, the x86 instruction selector burg grammar.
** Sep 5, 2001
The MCS compiler can compile the sample Hello World
application and generate a Windows/CIL executable that runs!
This executable runs with the Mono Interpreter of course (see
August 28)
** Sep 4, 2001
Dietmar checked into CVS the `monoburg' architecture
independent instruction selector for the JIT engine.
** Aug 28, 2001
.NET Hello World is working under Mono! The latest snapshots
will let you run it.
Hello World consits of 1821 CIL instructions,
performs 66 subroutine calls and loads 12 classes from the corlib.dll
Good work Mono team!

New version of the Mono Runtime, Compiler and Classes has been
released. Check the 0.6 announcement.

A new Compilation
service has been made available by Derek to allow people
without access to the .NET SDK

Got Sean's new Class
Status web pages up. These are a lot better than mine, and
we are now keeping better track of contributors.

I keep getting questions about my opinion on Passport, even when
Mono has nothing to do with it. I finally wrote something.
