+@item Jul 27th, 2003: Daily Snapshots
+
+       We're now building daily snapshots of Mono.  They come in
+       three distinct flavors:
+
+       <ul>
+               * mono snapshot tarballs - These are 'release-style' tarballs and
+                 contain everything necessary to setup a new
+                 installation from scratch.  This includes the Mono
+                 runtime and all the assemblies we distribute.
+
+               * monocharge tarballs - These tarballs contain only
+                 the assemblies built on that day.
+
+               * monolite tarballs - These tarballs contain a copy of
+                 'corlib.dll', 'mcs.exe' and 'System.dll'. They can be used to
+                 re-bootstrap an out-of-sync installation.
+       </ul>
+
+       The daily builds are availble here: <a href="http://go-mono.com/daily">http://go-mono.com/daily</a>

+If you find that the builds are broken, please notify me.
+@item Jul 19th, 2003: Recent developments
+
+       Since Mono has matured, we have limited the news on the site
+       to major accomplishments that are finished, but this week, it
+       is worth devoting some time to talk about some of the
+       work-in-progress projects that are progressing.
+
+       Jackson has added support to the IL assembler for generics as
+       well as to the PEAPI library, and it has assembled its first
+       generic program.  Support for handling images with generics
+       has been on our file format reader for a while, but the JIT
+       engine is still incomplete. 
+
+       On the XSLT world, Atsushi and Ben continue to make big
+       improvements.  Ben recently got the prototype managed XSLT
+       implementation to run its first stylesheet.  Although
+       currently Mono uses libxslt to implement the System.Xml.Xsl
+       namespace, to have a fully .NET compliant implementation we
+       will need a managed version, and this is the beginning of it.
+
+       Lluis recently posted an update on the <a
+       href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-devel-list/2003-July/001550.html">state
+       of WSDL</a> in Mono.  Now that the web services runtime is
+       ready, the WSDL compiler becomes more important as a
+       development tool.
+
+       Atsushi continues his work on the DTD validating reader in
+       System.Xml, as well as improving our XML Schema support.
