+ Todd Berman is a steady contributor to Mono. He has worked

+ maintain MonoDevelop an IDE for the Mono environment. His help has

+ rendezvous-like functionality in your applications.

+@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.
