+@item Sep 1st, 2003: Ice for Mono;  XmlSerializer generators; Monodoc progress.
+
+       <b>Ice:</b> Vladimir has checked into CVS (Module ginzu) an
+       implementation of <a href="http://www.zeroc.com">ZeroC's</a>
+       <a href="http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html">ICE</a> protocol.  It
+       is implemented using Remoting.  If you were looking for an
+       efficient binary protocol to use with Remoting, this is it.
+
+       ICE is simpler to use than CORBA, and was created by people
+       who were deeply involved in CORBA and wanted to fix its
+       problems (you can see a <a
+       href="http://www.zeroc.com/iceVsCorba.html">list of
+       differences</a>).
+
+       <b>XmlSerializer</b>: Lluis has checked in a new technology
+       for use in our XmlSerializer: the XmlSerializer code
+       generator.  Currently our XmlSerializer generates a
+       description of instructions for serializing data, these
+       instructions are later interpreted while using it: Reflection
+       is used to pull all the data.  The code generator is the first
+       step into turning the Serializer from an intepreter into a
+       compiler and improving the performance of it.
+
+       Currently was used internally to implement the WSDL
+       serializer, in the future it will just be part of the standard
+       serialization process.
+
+       <b>MonoDoc:</b> New providers!  Thanks to <a
+       href="http://www.jaggersoft.com/">Jon Jagger</a> for providing
+       us with his master XML files for the C# specification we now
+       have integrated the C# spec into Monodoc.  Another provider is
+       the Error provider: now we include all the C# compiler errors
+       in the help system.
+
+       Alp has contributed various user interface improvement, and
+       updated our list widget for key navigation; Ben made the
+       matches window more useful and Joshua has helped us clean up
+       the ECMA provider even more.

+@item Aug 14th, 2003: Mono 0.26 has been released
+
+       A new version of Mono is available, the new features include:

+       support, as well as a managed XSLT implementation.

+       Existing features have been improved vastly: better

+       compliance to the spec and more.
