He has worked + everywhere: from the Class Libraries, to the early implementation of + the GAC and most recently has lead the effort to develop, port and + maintain MonoDevelop an IDE for the Mono environment. His help has + been key to the development of Mono. + +@item May 4th, 2004: Mono Beta 1 available + + + + + + +
+ Mono Beta 1 has been released. See our Release + Notes, or go directly to the download page. +
+ +@item May 2nd, 2004: mDnsResponder.Net; Global Assembly Cache. + + Brady Anderson has released the first version of his multicast + DNS responder written in C# for the Mono and .NET + platforms. This is the foundation for implementing + rendezvous-like functionality in your applications. + + The tree has started to stabilize after all the changes last + week to integrate the Global Assembly Cache work that Jackson, + Sebastien, Todd and all the volunteers helped us deploy. + +@item Apr 22nd, 2004: XSP 0.12 released. + + A new release of XSP is available. It fixes a bug that made Web Services + unusable from client proxies. You can download it from here. + +@item Apr 21st, 2004: XSP 0.11 and mod_mono 0.8 released. + + Gonzalo has made new releases of XSP and mod_mono (The ASP.NET + hosting service for Mono). + + Check the XSP/mod_mono + Release Notes to see what is new and to obtain the source + packages. + +@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 blog + + 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. + + Mainsoft 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 31st, 2004: Gtk# 0.18, MonoDoc 0.13, MonoDevelop 0.2 released + + New versions of Gtk# and MonoDoc have been released. + + Gtk# is available from Gtk# home page and MonoDoc 0.13 + is available from our download + page. + + Gtk# now features [ConnectBefore] attribute for hooking up + signals; An automake/autoconf setup; the System.Drawing + dependency has been dropped and many more docs. + + And MonoDevelop 0.2 + has been released. + +@item Mar 18th, 2004: Mono 0.31 has been released + + We have released version 0.31 of Mono. All the new features + and improvements are described in our Mono 0.31 Release Notes. + + You can download Mono 0.31 packages using Red Carpet, or pick + the individual packages from our download page. + +@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. + + Zoltan Varga announced today that the SPARC port of the Mono + JIT engine has been completed. Congratulations to Zoltan for + this amazing development. + +@item Feb 26th, 2004: Agenda: Mono Meeting in Boston. + + The agenda for the Mono Meeting is now available: Mono Meeting + Agenda + +@item Feb 24th, 2004: Mono Meeting in Boston. + + On March 5th-6th (Friday and Saturday) there will be an + open-house meeting for people interested in Mono to get + together with the Mono developers at the Novell offices in + in Cambridge Massachusetts (directions). + + The whole Novell Mono team will be here (Atsushi Enomoto, Dick + Porter, Duncan Mak, Erik Dasque, Gonzalo Paniagua, Jackson + Harper, Jordi Mas, Lluis Sanches, Manjula, Martin Baulig, + Miguel de Icaza, Mike Kestner, Paolo Molaro, Peter Bartok, + Sebastien Pouliot, Sachin Kumar) and hopefully Joe Shaw, Nat + Friedman, Peter Williams and Ravi Pratap will be joining us as + well.
