|
+Hello everyone!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ We have made a new release of Mono available. Despite the fact
|
|
|
+that we just did Mono 0.18, this release is packed with new features.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Availability.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Mono 0.19 is available in package format from:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ http://www.go-mono.com/download.html
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ We released packages for SuSE 8.0, Mandrake 8.2, Debian and various
|
|
|
+Red Hat releases. It is also available from Red Carpet on the Mono
|
|
|
+channel.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Source code for Mono, MCS, the Mono Debugger, XSP is available as
|
|
|
+well from that web page.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* New in this release
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Remoting news:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Lluis has implemented and documented the Binary formatter
|
|
|
+ Woohoo! He has done a lot of work as well to support
|
|
|
+ remoting.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Patrik has also been working heavily on fixing a
|
|
|
+ number of remoting related bugs and missing features.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Ajay also implemented 1-d array serialization in System.Xml
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * New database provider: IBM DB2
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Christopher Bockner has contributed a DB2 data
|
|
|
+ provider for System.Data. We have a very complete
|
|
|
+ range of data providers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * System.Web.Mobile
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Gaurav has started work on this assembly, this will
|
|
|
+ allow us to run the unmodified reference ASP.NET
|
|
|
+ applications that were designed to support Mobile
|
|
|
+ browsing.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * System.Data and System.XML:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ More implementation work on XmlDataDocument from Ville
|
|
|
+ and plenty of fixes from Atsushi.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * MacOS patches:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Paolo integrated John Duncan's and Benjamin Reed
|
|
|
+ patches to make Mono run on MacOS X out of the box.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * IsolatedStorage
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The initial implementation of it was done by Jonathan
|
|
|
+ Pryor and included in this release.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Compilers:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ More work on the Mono Visual Basic compiler (it is now
|
|
|
+ included in the packages).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Plenty of bug fixes from Jackson, Miguel to the C#
|
|
|
+ compiler.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Patches from Francesco and Daniel to the VB.NET
|
|
|
+ support runtime.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Debugger support
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Plenty of updates to run the new Mono Debugger from Martin.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Main missing bits:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Some of everyone's favorite patches or code chunks have not yet
|
|
|
+been integrated, hopefully Mono 0.20 will have them:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Zoltan's patch to run IKVM is not yet on this release
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Some parts of Patrik's remoting code did not make it to the
|
|
|
+ release either.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Reggie's MySQL native provider is also missing.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Enjoy!
|
|
|
+Miguel.
