- <b>Mono Talks:</b>
+@item Jan 3rd, 2003: Glade#, Code Coverage, Apache, MBas, Debugger.
+
+ Rachel has made Glade# use attributes so binding C# widgets to
+ the designed widgets is now easier than ever. Alp has
+ improved this to use implicit names as well.
+
+ Martin's Mono debugger now has support for multi-thread
+ debugging. Special feature: breakpoints can be defined in a
+ per-thread basis now.
+
+ Daniel López has checked in his Apache module to integrate
+ Mono and Mono's ASP.NET support as an Apache module. Gonzalo
+ has folded his new Mono hosting classes into this module (they
+ are now shared between XSP and mod_mono). You can get the
+ mod_apache from CVS (module name: mod_mono).
+
+ Mono Basic improvements: Marco has added support for more
+ statements on the grammar.
+
+ Zoltan has <a href="http://www.nexus.hu/vargaz2/">posted</a>
+ his Code Coverage analysis tool for Mono.
+
+@item Dec 10th, 2002: Gtk# 0.6 released; Mono 0.17 packages for Windows and Debian.
+
+ Mike Kestner <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-December/003961.html">announced
+ Gtk# 0.6</a>. This new release includes many new features and
+ bug fixes, and is the perfect companion to the <a
+ href="archive/mono-0.17">Mono 0.17</a> release.
+
+ Johannes has contributed a Windows-ready package of Mono 0.17,
+ and its available from our <a
+ href="download.html">download</a> page.
+
+ Alp Toker has <a href="http://www.atoker.com/mono/">Debian packages</a>

+
+ Mono 0.17 has been released. Check out the <a
+ href="archive/mono-0.17">release notes</a> for a more detailed
+ list. You can get it <a href="download.html">here</a>.
+
+ Many new features as well as plenty of bug fixes. Many new
+ System.Data providers and a more mature System.Web (ASP.NET)
+ which can now be hosted in any web server. A simple <a
+ href="archive/xsp-0.2.tar.gz">test web server</a> to host
+ asp.net has been released as well.
+
+ This version also integrates Neale's s390 port.
+
+ This release also includes a new exception handling system
+ that uses the gcc exception information that vastly improves
+ our internalcall speed (15% faster mcs compilation times).
+
+@item Dec 8th, 2002: VB.NET, Oracle Provider.
+
+ Marco has got the Mono Basic compiler up to speed (support for
+ classes, modules, expressions, object creation, method
+ invocation, local variables, and some statements). The
+ compiler is based on the work from Rafael Teixeira on MCS.

+ Tim's SqlClient is <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-November/003161.html">now
+ capable</a> of communicating with the Microsoft SQL server
+ using the TDS protocol. A screenshot showing a sample client
+ running with <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk#</a> on
+ Windows is shown <a
+ href="images/SqlSharpGtkSceenshot3.png">here</a>
+
+ Sebastien has made all symetric ciphers functional on all
+ supported modes; All the classes in Security.Cryptography are
+ present and the X590 certificates are now in too. Jackson has
+ been working on the Security classes.
+
+ Many bug fixes all over the place: class libraries (Dick,
+ Piers, Ville, Zoltan, Gonzalo, Dan, Atsushi, Nick, Phillip),
+ compiler, runtime engine. A big thank goes for everyone who
+ has been providing bug reports for us to track down.
+
+ Gaurav has been working on multiple WebControls. Gonzalo migrated
+ the ASP.NET engine to use POST for interaction.
+
+ In the Gtk# land saw the integration of gda, gnome-db and GStreamer
+ bindings.
+
+ Windows.Forms classes now build on Linux and Windows, check
+ out the status pages for areas of collaboration.
+
+@item Oct 24th, 2002: S390 support, XSP/ASP.NET, Win32 contributors, TDS.
+
+ Today Neal Ferguson's support for the IBM S390 was checked
+ into CVS.
+
+ The XSP processor has been fully integrated into the
+ System.Web assembly, and Gonzalo has finished the hosting
+ interfaces in Mono. This means that it is possible to embed
+ ASP.NET with the same APIs used in Windows, and is possible to
+ easily embed it with Apache for example. The XSP module has
+ now become a shell for testing the System.Web classes.
+
+ We are looking for contributors that know Win32 to contribute
+ to the Windows.Forms implementation. If you want to help
+ write some controls using the Win32 API, get in touch with our new <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list">mono-winforms-list@ximian.com
+ list</a> mailing list.
+
+ Tim's TDS System.Data set of classes can now talk to SQL
+ servers using the TDS protocol (version 4.2) with
+ connection pooling. Currently it can connect, run
+ transactions, update/insert/delete, and read some types. A
+ data adapter is also coming soon.
+
+@item Oct 21th, 2002: Crypto, Winforms list, Database, GConf, Debugger.
+
+ Sebastien Poliot has made a lot of progress, he reports that
+ DES and TripleDES have been fixed; Rijndael and CFB modes
+ still have problems in some configurations and some areas that
+ are not supported by the .NET framework.
+
+ Last week we created a new <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-winforms-list">mailing
+ list</a> to discuss the Mono Winforms implementation.
+
+ Tim has started a full C# implementation of the TDS protocol
+ and the providers, and Brian continues his work on his ODBC
+ binding.
+
+ Rachel Hestilow has also checked in a binding for GConf. This
+ binding <a
+ href="http://toxic.magnesium.net/~hestilow/gconfsharp/intro.html">is
+ unique</a> in that it uses some features in the CLI to support
+ complex data types, and allows the user to keep only one
+ representation of the types instead of two (the master types
+ is defined in CLI-land). Also Property Editors (<a
+ href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/shots/gconf-shot.png">shot</a>)
+ simplify the creation of user interfaces that bind their
+ configuration to backend keys, following the <a
+ href="http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/">GNOME
+ Human Interface Guidelines.</a>
+
+ Martin is now on vacation, but before leaving he produced a
+ number of documents detailing the state of the debugger. The
+ major missing feature is full support for debugging unmanaged
+ applications (it requires dwarf-2 handlers for types). We
+ will do some polishing of the user interface (<a
+ href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/shots/debugger-4.png">new
+ shot</a>) to expose the existing and rich functionality to the
+ users and try to release a preview of the debugger at the same
+ time as Mono 0.17.
+
+@item Oct 14th, 2002: Crypto, Database work, Debugger, Documentation.
+
+ Brian, Daniel and Rodrigo have been busy working on the ODBC
+ provider for Mono. Daniel posted some <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-October/002755.html">updates</a>.
+ Brian posted <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-October/002758.html">details
+ about the ODBC.NET</a> provider.
+
+ Also Sebastien Pouliot has been improving the various
+ cryptographic classes in Mono, something that we had not done
+ in quite some time. We are looking for a way to handle
+ big-nums. We need either a managed or unmanaged set of
+ classes for handling large numbers, and some volunteers to
+ expose this functionality to C# (Either as an internal
+ assembly, or as a set of P/Invoke, Internal call wrappers).
+
+ Martin has got our debugger to support adding breakpoints at
+ file/line combos. This was more complex than generic
+ breakpoints in routines, because these breakpoints are set on
+ routines that probably have not been JITed just yet. Martin's
+ focus now is on stabilizing our debugger and aim for a public
+ release of it.
+
+ We have also imported the ECMA documentation into a separate
+ module, and with the help from Scott Bronson we will have the
+ necessary XSLT tools to finish our native documentation
+ browser for Mono. This together with the work from Adam will
+ be the foundation for the <a href="classlib-doc.html">Mono
+ Documentation Tools</a>.
+
+@item Oct 9th, 2002: Various Mono updates.
+
+ Brian Ritchie, Daniel Morgan, Rodrigo Moya and Ville Palo have
+ been working on various database providers. The MySQL has
+ seen a lot of work, and a new ODBC provider is now on CVS and
+ more extensive regression tests have been checked in.
+
+ Dick Porter is our background hero and keeps fixing the
+ low-level bugs in the portability layer. Now the Mono handle
+ daemon should be a lot more robust and will no longer leave IPC
+ regions. Gonzalo Paniagua has initiated the migration of XSP
+ into the System.Web class libraries now that we have a
+ complete HttpRuntime implementation. This means that you are
+ able to embed the ASP.NET processor into any web server you
+ want. This also includes support for the system-wide
+ configuration file `machine.config'.
+
+ Martin Baulig has been busy with the Mono Debugger, you can see how
+ it looks <a
+ href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/debugger-1.png">here</a>
+ and <a
+ href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/debugger-2.png">here</a>.
+ Now local variables and breakpoints are supported, and we are
+ working on the UI elements to simplify their use (as seen on
+ the screenshot).
+
+ <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk#</a> has seen a lot of
+ activity specially as we start to build larger applications.
+ Vladimir Vukicevic, Kristian Rietveld, Rachel Hestilow, Mike
+ Kestner and Miguel de Icaza have been busy improving it.
+ mPhoto which is a Photo management application for Mono and
+ Gtk# is seen <a
+ href="http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/shots/mphoto-2.jpg">here</a>.
+
+ Chris Toshok the man behind LDAP in Evolution continues to
+ work on the Mono.LDAP# implementation.
+
+ Dietmar Maurer and Paolo Molaro are still busy working on our
+ new optimized JIT/ATC engine and are making great progress.
+ The code base has been designed to ease the implementation of
+ more advanced compiler optimizations, and optimizations can be
+ chosen individually so they can be tuned for a particular
+ processor, or use profile-based information to improve the
+ performance.
+
+@item Oct 1st, 2002: Mono 0.16 released; Debugger updates.
+
+ Mono 0.16 has been released. Source and RPMs are <a
+ href="download.html">available</a>. The release notes are <a
+ href="archive/mono-0.16">here</a>.
+
+ Martin's debugger can debug both managed and unmanaged code.
+ Recently Martin added support for locals, parameters, and

+@item Sep 17th, 2002: Mono Hackers Hall of Fame: Sergey Chaban
+
+ The <a href="hackers.html">Mono Hackers Hall Of Fame</a>
+ continues to show our appreciation to the excellent
+ contributors that made <b>mono::</b> a successful free
+ software project.
+
+ This time the Hall of Fame welcomes Sergey Chaban. Sergey has
+ been a long time contributor to the project, from the early
+ work on the class libraries that were critical to Mono's
+ origin: every time you use a Hashtable in Mono, it runs
+ Sergey's code, to the low-level optimizations on the JIT
+ engine and to his work on ILASM and the PEToolkit.
+
+
+@item Sep 16th, 2002: Documentation Tools, ILASM, Debugger, Mono LDAP, Winforms
+
+ Adam Treat has started moving the documentation universe again. We
+ have a new strategy to document our APIs (given that we have
+ chosen <a href="classlib-doc.html">not to document the code
+ inline</a>). This includes the use of a master reference file
+ that will hold the entry points to document. All master files
+ for our assemblies have been checked into CVS now.
+
+ Sergey Chaban's Mono.PEToolkit and ILASM tools have been
+ checked into CVS. Although ILASM is old and will soon be
+ updated, we wanted to get the build issues sorted out.
+
+ Martin Baulig's Mono Debugger is still on its early stages,
+ but you can run and run step by step your C# code and C code
+ (including the Mono runtime). Dwarf-2 is required to compile
+ your code. The regular step, step-into, and assembly-level
+ step and step-into are supported. And comes with a Gtk#
+ UI. The debugger is written mostly in C# with some C glue
+ code. Most of the work is on the engine, we will be working
+ on making a good UI in the future.
+
+ Chris Toshok of the Hungry Programmer's fame has checked in
+ Mono.Directory.LDAP, a C# wrapper for the LDAP libraries.
+ This is the substrate for implementing the
+ System.DirectoryServices assembly.
+
+ Andrew has also continued with some of the cryptographic
+ classes implementation.
+
+ After much public debate, we have chosen a new <a
+ href="winforms.html">strategy to implement winforms</a>.
+ Implementing a Gtk, Qt or Aqua based version of Winforms was
+ going to be almost as complex as implementing Wine itself. So
+ the new strategy is to only roll out a WineLib-based
+ implementation.
+
+@item Sep 4th, 2002: .NET One 2002 Program available
+
+ The <a
+ href="http://www.sigs-datacom.de/sd/kongresse/dotnet_2002/index.htm">.NET
