+@item Apr 02, 2004: Mono C# Compiler gets CLS support; Basic Runtime Contribution from Mainsoft.
+
+ Marek Safar has been working for a few months on adding
+ support to the C# compiler to support the various checks required
+ by the Common Language Specification (CLS).
+
+ In the past the C# compiler was unable to flag any problems
+ related to the creation of cross-language libraries. Today
+ with this patch the compiler will properly flag errors in CLS
+ compliance. Tests for all of the errors have also been
+ included on CVS.
+
+ <a href="http://www.mainsoft.com">Mainsoft</a> has contributed
+ an implementation of their Basic runtime to the project. The
+ runtime they wrote is written in Java and we are translating
+ this into C# code. The code will reach CVS within the next
+ few weeks.

+@item Mar 15th, 2004: Async IO lands on Mono.
+
+ Gonzalo has completed the implementation of Async I/O for Mono
+ using the kernel aio_* interfaces. If your operating system supports
+ the aio_ POSIX interface, the FileStream methods that
+ expose asynchronous methods will use this facility instead of
+ emulating it with threads as we have done in the past.
+
+ We had this request come to us from various people in the
+ past, and we are now looking for your help to test and debug
+ this.
+
+@item Mar 11th, 2004: Mono JIT ported to SPARC.
