+Hello!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Version 0.16 of Mono has been released! This is mostly a bug
|
|
|
+ fix release, a lot of work has been going on to make existing
|
|
|
+ features more robust and less buggy. Also, contributions are
|
|
|
+ too varied, so it is hard to classify them in groups.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Stats
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 795 commits to mono and mcs since August 23rd.

|
+* News
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The changes that got in this releases are mostly
|
|
|
+ bugfixes. Miguel, Martin and Ravi attacked lots of bugs in the
|
|
|
+ compiler, Dick fixed a bunch of bugs related to processes and
|
|
|
+ threads. Mark Crichton resumed his work on the SPARC port and
|
|
|
+ made lots of progress there. Juli Mallett has been working on
|
|
|
+ making sure Mono also builds on BSD systems. As usual, Dietmar
|
|
|
+ and Paolo supplied their continuous stream of fixes to the
|
|
|
+ runtime.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Dietmar has completed the work on the runtime side for
|
|
|
+ remoting support and we ship now with a sample channel, the
|
|
|
+ System.Runtime.Remoting.Sample. This can be used as a
|
|
|
+ reference implementation for anyone interested in implementing
|
|
|
+ other channels (like a CORBA channel).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Duncan got preliminary XSLT support done by using
|
|
|
+ libxslt.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Gonzalo (with some help from Patrik) has been working hard
|
|
|
+ making our ASP.NET implementation work on both Mono and MS by
|
|
|
+ migrating the existing xsp code to the class library. Gaurav
|
|
|
+ started working on the classes in System.Design.dll and Chris
|
|
|
+ Toshok checked in Mono.Directory.LDAP, which will be the
|
|
|
+ foundation to implement the System.DirectoryServices assembly.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Various fixes from Kral, Jason, Piers and Gonzalo were
|
|
|
+ committed to System.Xml; Martin Algiers reports that the
|
|
|
+ upcoming NAnt release will be fully compatible with Mono.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Miguel imported Sergey Chaban's Mono.PEToolkit and ilasm code
|
|
|
+ to CVS. Nick, as always, continues to refine our testing
|
|
|
+ framework by improving our tests. Andrew Birkett continues to
|
|
|
+ improve the implementation of our security/cryptographic
|
|
|
+ classes. Jonathan Pryor contributed type-reflector the our
|
|
|
+ list of tools.

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ While the above is pretty impressive on its own, various other
|
|
|
+ non-released portions of Mono have been undergoing: Adam Treat
|
|
|
+ has been leading the effort to document our class libraries
|
|
|
+ and produce the tools required for it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Martin Baulig has been working on the Mono Debugger which is
|
|
|
+ not being released yet. This debugger allows both native
|
|
|
+ Linux application as well as CIL applications to be debugged
|
|
|
+ at the same time (and in fact, you can use this to debug the
|
|
|
+ JIT engine). The debugger is written in C# with some C glue
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ In the meant A new JIT engine is under development, focused on
|
|
|
+ adding more of the high-end optimizations which will be
|
|
|
+ integrated on an ahead-of-time-compiler. Dietmar and Paolo
|
|
|
+ have been working on this.
