+ Mono 0.19 has been released. Check out the <a
+ href="archive/mono-0.19">release notes</a> for an overview of
+ the changes. You can get it <a href="download.html">here</a>.
+ There are no major features in this release, mostly bug fixes
+ and performance improvements.
+
+ We have now a new section <a href="screenshots.html">with
+ screenshots</a> of various Mono applications. You can see
+ there the new released Debugger, as well as the work in
+ progress on the documentation browser.

+
+@item Jan, 19th: Mono Debugger released.
+
+ After six month of extensive development, Martin Baulig has
+ released the first version of the Mono debugger. The Mono
+ debugger is written in C# and can debug both managed and
+ unmanaged applications, support for multiple-threaded
+ applications and should be relatively easy to port to new
+ platforms.
+
+ Details of the release are available in <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2003-January/005192.html">post</a>.
+
+ The debugger contains both Gtk# and command line interfaces.
+ The debugging file format used in Dwarf (its already supported
+ by our class libraries and the Mono C# compiler; To debug C
+ applications, you need a recent GCC, or to pass the -gdwarf-2
+ flag to gcc).
+
+@item Jan, 17th: DB2 provider, MacOS X

+ 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).
