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. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Happy new year!
