+@item Jan 3rd, 2003: Glade#, Code Coverage, Apache, MBas, Debugger. - - + Rachel has made Glade# use attributes so binding C# widgets to + the designed widgets is now easier than ever. Alp has + improved this to use implicit names as well. + + Martin's Mono debugger now has support for multi-thread + debugging. Special feature: breakpoints can be defined in a + per-thread basis now. + + Daniel López has checked in his Apache module to integrate + Mono and Mono's ASP.NET support as an Apache module. Gonzalo + has folded his new Mono hosting classes into this module (they + are now shared between XSP and mod_mono). You can get the + mod_apache from CVS (module name: mod_mono). + + Mono Basic improvements: Marco has added support for more + statements on the grammar. + + Zoltan has posted + his Code Coverage analysis tool for Mono. + +@item Dec 10th, 2002: Gtk# 0.6 released; Mono 0.17 packages for Windows and Debian. + + Mike Kestner announced + Gtk# 0.6. This new release includes many new features and + bug fixes, and is the perfect companion to the Mono 0.17 release. + + Johannes has contributed a Windows-ready package of Mono 0.17, + and its available from our download page. + + Alp Toker has Debian packages + +@item Dec 9th, 2002: Mono 0.17 has been released + + Mono 0.17 has been released. Check out the release notes for a more detailed + list. You can get it here. + + Many new features as well as plenty of bug fixes. Many new + System.Data providers and a more mature System.Web (ASP.NET) + which can now be hosted in any web server. A simple test web server to host + asp.net has been released as well. + + This version also integrates Neale's s390 port. + + This release also includes a new exception handling system + that uses the gcc exception information that vastly improves + our internalcall speed (15% faster mcs compilation times). + +@item Dec 8th, 2002: VB.NET, Oracle Provider. + + Marco has got the Mono Basic compiler up to speed (support for + classes, modules, expressions, object creation, method + invocation, local variables, and some statements). The + compiler is based on the work from Rafael Teixeira on MCS. + + Screenshots: in + Windows doing Windows.Forms and in Linux doing VB with Gtk# (courtesy of Alp). + + Daniel Morgan has checked in his Oracle provider to the CVS + repository as well. + +@item Nov 27th, 2002: Press release, tutorials, Windows Forms, ADO.NET, Magazine. + + The + Penguin Takes Flight: an article written by Erick + Schonfeld appears on the December issue of Business 2.0 magazine. + + OpenLink and Ximian made joint + announcement on the plans of OpenLink to ship their Virtuoso + server on Unix using Mono. + + Martin Willemoes's GNOME.NET + tutorial is now available from the main Mono site. This + tutorial is a collaborative effort to teach developers how to + use Mono to create Mono applications using Gtk# + + Dennis Hayes has posted and update + on the work to get Windows.Forms working on Mono.

Also, + compilation speed has increased recently by performing a + number of simple optimizations in the compiler. + +@item Nov 19th, 2002: Crypto update; Books; Gtk# Datagrid; .NET ONE Slides + + Sebastien has got DSA and RSA signatures working + as well as RSA encryption. + We now distribute Chew Keong TAN's BigInteger classes. + + Brian has contributed a System.Data multiplexor in Mono, it + can be found in the Mono.Data assembly. The details of this + new technology are here. + It works in Mono and the .NET Framework. + + Larry O'Brien has announced the candidate book for + Thinking in C#. The book is Mono-friendly. + + Another book that covers mono (available in German only) is + here. + + Dan Morgan has implemented a DataGrid widget for Gtk#, you can + see Windows screenshots for it here and here. + + Slides from the Mono developers for the .NET ONE conference are available now: + + + A couple of other presentations from Miguel's trip to Europe + are available here + in Open Office file format. + +@item Nov 8th, 2002: Mono s390, Database work, new JIT updates. + + Neale Ferguson has contributed RPM + packages of Mono for the Linux/s390. + + Tim Coleman posted an update + on the improvements in the System.Data + + The new JIT engine can run 72 out of our 154 tests for the + virtual machine, and it also got exception support this week. + +@item Nov 1st, 2002: TDS, Crypto, Gtk#, Winforms, bug fixes. + + Tim's SqlClient is now + capable of communicating with the Microsoft SQL server + using the TDS protocol. A screenshot showing a sample client + running with Gtk# on + Windows is shown here + + Sebastien has made all symetric ciphers functional on all + supported modes; All the classes in Security.Cryptography are + present and the X590 certificates are now in too. Jackson has + been working on the Security classes. + + Many bug fixes all over the place: class libraries (Dick, + Piers, Ville, Zoltan, Gonzalo, Dan, Atsushi, Nick, Phillip), + compiler, runtime engine. A big thank goes for everyone who + has been providing bug reports for us to track down. + + Gaurav has been working on multiple WebControls. Gonzalo migrated + the ASP.NET engine to use POST for interaction. + + In the Gtk# land saw the integration of gda, gnome-db and GStreamer + bindings. + + Windows.Forms classes now build on Linux and Windows, check + out the status pages for areas of collaboration. + +@item Oct 24th, 2002: S390 support, XSP/ASP.NET, Win32 contributors, TDS. + + Today Neal Ferguson's support for the IBM S390 was checked + into CVS. + + The XSP processor has been fully integrated into the + System.Web assembly, and Gonzalo has finished the hosting + interfaces in Mono. This means that it is possible to embed + ASP.NET with the same APIs used in Windows, and is possible to + easily embed it with Apache for example. The XSP module has + now become a shell for testing the System.Web classes. + + We are looking for contributors that know Win32 to contribute + to the Windows.Forms implementation. If you want to help + write some controls using the Win32 API, get in touch with our new mono-winforms-list@ximian.com + list mailing list. + + Tim's TDS System.Data set of classes can now talk to SQL + servers using the TDS protocol (version 4.2) with + connection pooling. Currently it can connect, run + transactions, update/insert/delete, and read some types. A + data adapter is also coming soon. + +@item Oct 21th, 2002: Crypto, Winforms list, Database, GConf, Debugger. + + Sebastien Poliot has made a lot of progress, he reports that + DES and TripleDES have been fixed; Rijndael and CFB modes + still have problems in some configurations and some areas that + are not supported by the .NET framework. + + Last week we created a new mailing + list to discuss the Mono Winforms implementation. + + Tim has started a full C# implementation of the TDS protocol + and the providers, and Brian continues his work on his ODBC + binding. + + Rachel Hestilow has also checked in a binding for GConf. This + binding is + unique in that it uses some features in the CLI to support + complex data types, and allows the user to keep only one + representation of the types instead of two (the master types + is defined in CLI-land). Also Property Editors (shot) + simplify the creation of user interfaces that bind their + configuration to backend keys, following the GNOME + Human Interface Guidelines. + + Martin is now on vacation, but before leaving he produced a + number of documents detailing the state of the debugger. The + major missing feature is full support for debugging unmanaged + applications (it requires dwarf-2 handlers for types). We + will do some polishing of the user interface (new + shot) to expose the existing and rich functionality to the + users and try to release a preview of the debugger at the same + time as Mono 0.17. @item Oct 14th, 2002: Crypto, Database work, Debugger, Documentation.
