+@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 31st, 2004: Gtk# 0.18, MonoDoc 0.13, MonoDevelop 0.2 released
+
+       New versions of Gtk# and MonoDoc have been released.
+
+       Gtk# is available from <a
+       href="http://gtk-sharp.sf.net">Gtk# home page</a> and MonoDoc 0.13
+       is available from our <a href="download.html">download</a>
+       page.
+
+       Gtk# now features [ConnectBefore] attribute for hooking up
+       signals; An automake/autoconf setup; the System.Drawing
+       dependency has been dropped and many more docs.
+
+       And <a href="http://www.monodevelop.com/">MonoDevelop 0.2</a>
+       has been released.
+
+@item Mar 18th, 2004: Mono 0.31 has been released
+
+       We have released version 0.31 of Mono.  All the new features
+       and improvements are described in our <a
+       href="archive/mono-0.31.html">Mono 0.31 Release Notes</a>. 
+
+       You can download Mono 0.31 packages using Red Carpet, or pick
+       the individual packages from our <a
+       href="download.html">download</a> page.

+@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.
+
+       Zoltan Varga announced today that the SPARC port of the Mono
+       JIT engine has been completed.  Congratulations to Zoltan for
+       this amazing development.
