+
+Hey!
+
+   July 12 snapshots of class libraries, the compiler and the mono
+runtime are available.
+
+New on this release:
+
+    * Runtime (module: mono)
+
+	The beginning of a simple interpreter that Paolo started
+	workign on (can run really simple .NET programs).
+
+	Disassembler copes with more elements of the binary format and
+	more tokens are decoded.  Paolo is working now on moving some
+	of these to the metadata library. 
+
+	More tables are dumped.
+
+    * Class libraries (module: mcs/class)
+
+	Many new more classes are in from Joe, Vladimir, Jeff, Sean
+	and yours truly.
+
+	Sean fixed the build process, and it is now possible to
+	compile with a single command the assemblies.  We will be
+	revisiting this mechanism in the future to compile per-OS
+	assemblies (ie, Unix, Windows, MacOS, etc).
+
+     * Compiler (module mcs/mcs)
+
+	Not much done this week, just a few fixes here and there, and
+	more work to make it easy to compiler.
+
+     * Documentation (module: mono/doc)
+
+	All the changes to the web site are there for your browsing
+	pleasure.  We still need to integrate the status system in
+	there. 
+
+Miguel.

+
+Hey guys,
+
+   I promise I will not be doing these so often once we have the CVS
+server up.  In the meantime:
+
+	* MCS
+
+		Sean got the classes to compile in a single go.  You
+		will need CygWin (www.cygwin.org) to compile though
+		(GNU make and stuff is required).
+
+		System.Xml.XmlReader contribution from Jason
+		(WOOHHOO!!).  It also contains a nice test-suite for
+		his functions, and in his new code bit, his
+		implementation is faster than Microsoft's
+
+		We now ship `jay' as part of the distribution to allow
+		you to compile the compiler with the same `make'
+		command.  Small fixes to the parser as well were
+		introduced. 
+
+	* Mono 0.4
+
+		Paolo's interpreter supports call instructions and has
+		the test suite program that he posted about.
+
+
+		All documentation ships now in the mono-0.4.tar.gz 
+
+Notes:
+
+	As usual, MCS is targeted to be compiled on a Windows machine
+	(you will need Cygwin).
+
+	Mono is targeted to be compiled on a Unix machine or a Windows
+	machine running Cygwin.
+
+Miguel.
