+
+@item Apr 20, 2004: S390 port; Interpreted Updated; Identity classes; System.Drawing; Mono Debugger.
+
+ Neale who originally wrote the S390 interpreter support for
+ Mono has checked into CVS his port of the S390 JIT engine.
+ Now, if we could only have one of those in our living room.
+
+ Bernie has checked into CVS a new interpreter for the Mono
+ runtime. This new interpreter translates the CIL opcodes into
+ a new intermediate representation. The new IL representation
+ avoids doing costly lookups during interpretation which means that the
+ interpreter is a lot faster now.
+
+ Performance wise, the new interpreter is three times faster
+ than the old one when doing a compiler bootstrap.
+
+ Sebastien has recently completed the identity classes in the
+ Mono Runtime, you can see more details on his <a
+ href="http://pages.infinit.net/ctech/poupou.html">blog</a>
+
+ New progress on the GDI+ front: Jordi has completed the region
+ code; Ravindra the various brushes that we must support;
+ Sanjay the Icon and BMP loaders (with Mark) and Vladimir has
+ contributed various codecs and a new fresh implementation of
+ Image.LockBits.
+
+ Lluis and Atsushi in the meantime has been in charge of
+ completing various pending items from our class libraries:
+ basically an API audit of the things missing for the Mono 1.0
+ release, small but important things.
+
+ Martin has replaced the old command-line language in the
+ debugger with our home-grown "Command Line" language, a
+ TCL-like command line language that we built for it (its a
+ tiny .NETized Tcl-like language). The interaction process is
+ a lot smoother than it used to be and we are focusing on the
+ usability of the command line language to improve the
+ debugging experience.
+
+@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.
+
+ Mainsoft also contributed an extensive regression test suite
+ for the Basic runtime, a port of the NIST XML tests and their
+ own in-house developed XML tests.

+
+@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.
