+
+ Ajay was the first to notice <a
+ href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-July/000641.html">
+ Mono's first birthday</a>.
+
+ In a year, we have achieved plenty:
+ <ul>
+ * 94 contributors with CVS access (84 non-Ximian developers).
+ * A complete CLI implementation:
+ <ul>
+ <li> A fast and performing x86 JIT engine (inlining, constant propagation).
+ <li> An interpreter for other systems (PPC, Sparc, StrongArm).
+ </ul>
+ * A self-hosting C# compiler, which can compile its class libraries.
+ * 37,140 file changes in CVS.
+ * 92,000 lines of C code.
+ * 437,000 lines of C# code (compiler, classes, tests)
+ * A working core for ASP.NET and ADO.NET.
+ * Major subsystems are functional: RegularExpressions,
+ System.XML, XML.Schema, System.Data, System.Web.
+ * The Gtk# project, which is maturing rapidly.
+ </ul>
+
+ Thanks to everyone who has made Mono possible with their
+ feedback, regression tests, their comments, their help on the mailing
+ list, code contributions, complete classes, bug reporting, the
+ countless hours of bug hunting. This project would not have
+ been possible with every contribution.
+
+ It has been a great year for everyone involved in the
+ project. I think we have built a new and exciting community.
+
+ Now we have a solid foundation to build on, so this next year
+ looks even more exciting: not only because we will see more
+ Mono applications, but we will begin using Mono as an
+ `library' to be linked with applications that want to get
+ scripting-like features; Gtk# is our ticket to create nice
+ GNOME applications; And we will be developing CORBA bindings
+ to integrate with other object systems.
+
+ Also, for those interested in optimizations and tuning, this
+ year we will get to play with more advanced optimizations and
+ all kinds of interesting research ideas for improving Mono
+ code generation.
+
+ A special thanks to the Mono developers at Ximian for managing
+ to survive their manager and a special thanks to our
+ regression test marshal Nick Drochak, who has been hunting
+ down, and fixing code in our class libraries and keeping us on
+ track for so long.
+
+@item Jul 8th, 2002
+
+ Radek today fixed the last bugs to get Mono to self host on
+ Linux/PowerPC.
+
+ Alp Toker has released version 0.5 of <a
+ href="http://www.atoker.com/phonic/">Phonic</a>, a media
+ player for .NET. Phonic makes extensive use of Mono-developed
+ technologies such as Gtk# and csvorbis (Ogg player ported by
+ Mark). Hopefully we will be seeing many more exciting
+ applications like these in the near future.
+
+ Dietmar has been moving a lot of the architecture specific
+ code in the JIT engine to our internal representation. This
+ means that porting the JIT is simpler now, as there is less
+ architecture-specific code to maintain. The inliner, constant
+ folder and constant propagation are also done at the
+ architecture independent layer.
+
+ Gonzalo is now running the sample ASP.NET applications on
+ Linux with the Mono runtime. It still needs polishing though,
+ and help with the various ASP.NET controls would be
+ appreciated. The ASP.NET community seems more poor than the
+ PHP community, we need to have a few open source controls to
+ do things dynamic rendering (libart+gdk-pixbuf again can do
+ most of the work), charts and components like the kind of
+ thing you see in the PHP universe: to bring nice GPL code to
+ the masses of Windows developers, lure them into the world of
+ Linux.
+
+ Dick has also got us the new Process implementation that
+ implements the Win32 semantics. Now only redirection is
+ missing.

+
+ Martin Baulig fixed the remaining bugs that prevented MCS to
+ compile our corlib. The compilation was tricky because of the way
+ MCS bootstraps the compile (internally mcs uses the types that are
+ being defined at that point to perform compares).
+
+ Martin and Paolo have been working hard on fixing the
+ remaining issues. Currently 102 test pass and 15 fail with
+ our resulting corlib.
+
+ Jesus' SoapFormatter classes are now in CVS.
+
+ I have been redoing the type lookup system for MCS. The
+ interesting bit is that I did most of this work on an airplane
+ using MCS itself. Which is a good test that the compiler is
+ now a good development tool.
+
+ Duncan, Mike and Rachel have been hard at work with Gtk#, now
+ there are bindings for the GtkHTML widget (the one used by
+ Evolution's composer). And Rachel also got the beginning of GNOME
+ bindings, that should simplify application development.

+ http runtime support and started work on thread pools. This
+ is part of the ASP.NET support.
+
+ <b>Docs:</b> John Barnette, John Sohn and Adam Treat have been
+ hacking on MonoDoc.

+ working on the <a href="ado-net">ADO.NET</a> support, and got
+ the first signs of life this week (we can connect, insert
+ rows; do transactions: commit/rollback; SQL errors and
+ exceptions work). Check <a
+ href="mailing-lists.html">mono-patches</a> for all the
+ goodies.
+
+ <b>Optimizations:</b> A number of optimizations in the runtime
+ made the compiler twice as fast this week:
+
+ Early this week Patrik started the string
+ rewrite in the runtime. Today Dietmar finished the
+ constructors and deployed the new layout.
+
+ Paolo got the JIT engine to generate profiles, which were in
+ turn used to find hot spots in Reflection, which he improved.
+
+ Daniel Lewis (of Regex fame) noticed the performance issues
+ with our current array layout, and contributed a new array
+ representation.
+
+ At the same time Dietmar started the the JIT inline code and
+ implemented constant propagation. These two optimizations
+ together are very powerful.
+
+ <b>Bug fixing:</b> And of course everyone has been helping out
+ with the bug fixing (Duncan, Gonzalo, Jonathan, Miguel, Nick,
+ Ravi, Sergey)
