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. + +* Other News From Behind de Curtain. + + 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.
