------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Hello everyone!
-
-    The Mono Team introduces the best Mono release so far we have
-done.  Thanks to everyone who contributed fixes, code, ideas, and bug
-reports.  
-
-    Mono 0.20 has been released, it is available at the usual location:
-
-	http://www.go-mono.com/download.html
-
-    This is a truly heroic release of Mono.  Major architectural
-chunks that were missing, or were miss-implemented have been fixed in
-this release, and we are very proud of it.  Please see the list of
-features, because there is no short way of introducing just how good
-this release is.  A big thanks goes to Piers for setting up a
-Tinderbox that monitors problems with the Mono CVS repository.
-
-    We released packages for SuSE 8.0, Mandrake 8.2, 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.  The sources are:
-
-     MCS package (Class Libraries, C# and VB.NET compiler and managed tools):
-
-	http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mcs-0.20.tar.gz
-
-     Mono package (Runtime engine, JIT compiler):
-
-	http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.20.tar.gz
-
-     XSP package (XSP test web server for ASP.NET webforms):

-    This release is brought to you by: Alvaro del Castillo, Alan Tam,
-Alp Toker, Alejandro Sánchez, Alexandre Pigolkin, Atsushi Enomoto,
-Brian Ritchie, Christopher Bockner, Daniel Lopez, Daniel Morgan,
-Dennis Hayes, Dick Porter, Dietmar Maurer, Duncan Mak, Gaurav Vaish,

-Johannes Roith, John Sohn, Jonathan Pryor, "Lee Mallabone, "Lluis
-Sanchez, "Marco Ridoni, Mark Crichton, Martin Baulig, Martin Willemoes
-Hansen, Miguel de Icaza, Mike Kestner, Nick Drochak, Paolo Molaro,
-Patrik Torstensson, Pedro Martinez, Per Arneng, Peter Williams, Petr
-Danecek, Piers Haken, Radek Doulik, Rafael Teixeira, Rodrigo Moya,
-Sebastien Pouliot, Tim Coleman, Ville Palo, and Zoltan Varga.
-
-   They commited 1810 changes to CVS patches in the past 33 days.
-
-* New in this release
-
-      * Zoltan and IKVM
-
-	Zoltan's patches to run Jeroen's IKVM (the Java VM that
-	translates JVM bytecodes into .NET bytecodes) are in.  
-
-      * Remoting.
-
-	The remoting team's patches that were held off on the previous
-	release are here.  Lluis and Patrik have done a fantastic job
-	in getting remoting to work.  Many low-level runtime engine
-	changes, and plenty of work on the class-library stuff.
-	
-	Lluis has posted a couple of sample applications to the
-	mailing list, you can try those out.
-
-	The new release includes a working BinaryFormatter and
-	BinaryFormatterSink.  It means that together with TcpChannel
-	it is possible to make remote calls with any type of
-	parameters and return values, including value types,
-	MarshalByRefObject types (that are properly
-	marshalled/unmarshalled), delegates, enums, etc.
-
-	RemotingConfiguration is partially implemented. It cannot read
-	from config files, but manual configuration using the api is
-	fully working.
-
-	Implemented full support for client activated types and for
-	well known objects (both singleton and single call).
-
-	Lease manager fully working (it manages the lifetime of server
-	objects).
-
-	Implemented interception of the new operator, so it is
-	possible to create a remote object using "new", if the type is
-	properly registered in RemotingConfiguration.
-
-	In Lluis' words: `Basically, 0.20 will have almost all needed
-	for a distributed application with Remoting'
-
-      * New threading semantics, IO-layer
-
-	Dick Porter in a couple of weeks has heroically redone much of
-	the threading support to match the .NET behavior (details are
-	on the .NET threading book as posted on the Mono site).
-
-	He also did a lot of bug fixes in the IO/threading space.  The
-	threading implementation now contains a new and faster Monitor
-	implementation, as well as a correct Pulse()/Wait()
-	implementation. 
-
-	GC thread finalization has been re-enabled.  This means that
-	finalizers will be ran on a separate thread, as done in the
-	Microsoft.NET Framework.  This might expose some bugs on
-	existing finalizer code.
-
-      * Moved to NUnit2
-
-	Nick and Gonzalo helped us move to the new NUnit2 platform for 
-	all of our tests.   A big applause goes to them.
-
-     * Cross Appdomain invocations work now.
-
-        ASP.NET and NUnit2 both used cross appdomain invocations, we
-        have fixed a number of problems, and they are now functional.
-
-	The AppDomain fixes and the Remoting fixes have allowed us to
-	remove a number of hacks in the ASP.NET implementation that
-        were previously there.
-
-	Implemented CrossAppDomainChannel, for calls between domains.
-
-     * C# Compiler and Debugging.
-
-	When generating debugging information in the compiler (with
-        -debug, -g or -debug+) the compiler will embed the debugging
-        information into the resulting executable instead of
-        generating a separate file.  Very nice.
-
-	Generating debugging information has also improved vastly
-        performance-wise, and now it is possible to always use
-        debugging builds for software development.
-
-	A number of bugs were fixed on the compiler as well and
-	by using the Mono profiler we have reduced the memory
-	consumption and accelerated the compiler.
-
-	Thanks to Jackson, Martin, Paolo and for helping here.
-
-      * VB.NET Compiler.
-
-	Plenty of new features are included in the compiler in our
-        path to conformance.  See <FIXME:get-url-for-posting> for
-        details on the status of the compiler, and the pieces missing.
-
-      * ILasm and Mono.PEToolkit.
-
-	Work on the IL assembler has resumed, but it is not yet ready
-        for production use.  The Mono IL Assembler uses the
-        Mono.PEToolkit library done by Sergey and Jackson to
-        manipulate CIL image files.
-
-      * Cryptographic work.
-
-	Sebastien has provided a cert2spc and secutil tools for
-	certificate management.  This is the first release that ships
-	an assembly for System.Security
-
-	Also a new internal assembly used only on Windows allows Mono
-	users to use the unmanaged crypto providers.
-
-      * System.XML
-
-	Atsushi has continued to improve the work on our XML
-        implementation: fixing bugs and more closely matching the
-        Microsoft implementation.
-
-      * More PowerPC/Alpha support.
-
-	Taylor Christopher has contributed more code generation macros
-	for PPC and Laramie Leavitt for Alpha.
-
-      * System.XML.Xsl
-
-	Gonzalo continued the implementation of our XSLT transformation
-        API (custom .NET functions are still missing though).  It no
-        longer uses temporary files to apply transformations.  Thanks
-        to an idea from Zdravko Tashev.  Xslt Web controls work as
-        part of this fix.
-
-      * ASP.NET
-
-	Gonzalo has cleaned up a lot the code base, and now our test
-	server supports a --root and --virtual command line options
-	for better control. 
-
-	Also, now we generate a much nicer error page on errors.  We
-	are looking for volunteers to improve the default look of this
-	page.
-
-	Authentication is now supported
-
-      * Mobile Controls.
-
-	Gaurav Vaish continues on his quest to complete the
-	implementation of the Mobile controls.  These controls are
-	required to run a stock IBuySpy application.
-
-      * Class Libraries:
-
-	New Mono.Posix class library that contains classes for working
-	on a Posix systems.  Things like Unix domain sockets are here.
-
-      * System.Windows.Forms
-
-	Alexandre Pigolkine continues to contribute more code to our
-	Windows.Forms implementation.  Currently it only runs on
-	Windows (or in Linux without GC enabled, due to the
-	pthread/Wine threading library mismatch.  This is being
-	actively addressed as part of the Wine work due to the
-	movement to the new thread implementation available in RH 8.1).
-
-      * Database providers
-
-	Christopher Bockner has updated his DB2 database provider (now
-	with prepared statement functionality) and Tim Coleman has
-	continued work on the Oracle database provider (welcome back
-	Tim!)
-
-      * Database code.
-
-	Dan Morgan continues to develop core components in System.Data
-	(and now we welcome Alan Tam to the System.Data core hackers)
-
-	The SQL# tool now supports MySQLNet, Npgsql, DB2Client, and
-	Oracle clients.
-
-      * Runtime
-
-	mono --profile now performs memory allocation profiling too.
-
-      * Runtime fixes.
-
-	We now support multi-module with external file reference
-	assemblies.  
-
-	The above in English means that we can now run Eiffel.NET code
-	in Mono.
-
-      * Monograph:
-
-	More statistics supported now.
-
-      * System.Web.Mail
-
-	Per has contributed the code for this namespace.
-
-* Bugs 
-
-	Plenty of bugs were closed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Hello!
-
-	Version 0.17 of Mono has been released.
-
-	There are plenty of new features, bug fixes, new classes, 
-	performance improvements, optimizations and much more
-	available in this release.
-
-* Stats
-
-	2605 cvs commits to the Mono repository since October 1st, an
-	average of 37 commits per day including weekends.  
-
-	212 commits to the Mono module.
-	1438 commits to the MCS module.
-
-* Mono Improvements:
-
-	Work has begun to make the runtime run a finalizer thread and
-	invoke all the finalizers from this thread.  This is the same
-	behavior as Java and the Microsoft runtime, but it is disabled
-	on this build.
-
-	Integrated the s390 work from Neale Ferguson.
-
-	Beginning of the work for pre-compiling code (Ahead of time
-	compilation) for Mono (based on the early work of Zoltan).
-
-	New option `--noboundscheck' for benchmark purposes, it
-	disables array bound checks.
-	
-	Uses mmap instead of SysV shared memory for the Windows API
-	emulation layer.
-
-	Plenty of bug fixes, improvements and integration with the
-	upper layer class libraries.
-
-	New exception handling code uses the GCC native support for
-	stack-walking if available and gives big performance boost
-	(15% on mcs bootstrap).
-
-	A lot of the work in the new release of Mono is required for
-	the Mono Debugger (which will be released separately).  The
-	Mono debugger is interesting, because it can debug both
-	managed and unmanaged applications, but it only supports the
-	JITer for debugging.
-
-	Dick, Dietmar, Gonzalo, Martin and Paolo were in charge of
-	most of these changes.
-
-* Compiler improvements:
-
-	Many bug fixes as usual, better C# compliancy.
-
-	Performance improvements.  The new release of the Mono C#
-	compiler is 37% faster than the previous version (self-compile
-	is down to 8 seconds).  On my P4 1.8Ghz machine, the Mono C#
-	compiler compiles (342,000 lines per minute).
-
-	Thanks to go Ravi and Martin for helping out with the bug
-	fixing hunt.
-
-* Cryptography and Security classes
-
-	Sebastien Pouliot and Andrew Birkett were extremely busy
-	during the past two months working on the cryptography
-	classes, many of the crypto providers are now working
-
-	Jackson on the other hand helped us with the security
-	classes, he said about those:
-
-	`Writing security classes is the most exciting thing I have
-	ever done, I can not wait to write more of them'.
-
-* ASP.NET:
-
-	We have now moved the code from the XSP server (which was our
-	test bed for ASP.NET) into the right classes inside
-	System.Web, and now any web server that was built by using the
-	System.Web hosting interfaces can be used with Mono.
-
-	The sample XSP server still exists, but it is now just a
-	simple implementation of the WorkerRequest and ApplicationHost
-	classes and can be used to test drive ASP.NET.  A big thanks
-	goes to Gonzalo who worked on this night and day (mostly
-	night).
-
-	Gaurav keeps helping us with the Web.Design classes, and
-	improving the existing web controls. 
-
-* ADO.NET:
-
-	New providers are available in this release.  The relentless
-	System.Data team (Brian, Dan, Rodrigo, Tim and Ville) are
-	hacking non-stop on the databse code.  Improving existing
-	providers, and new providers.  
-
-	The new providers on this release:
-
-		* Oracle
-		* MS SQL 
-		* ODBC
-		* Sybase
-		* Sqlite (for embedded use).
-
-	Many regression tests have been added as well (Ville has been
-	doing a great job here).
-
-	Brian also created a DB provider multiplexor (The ProviderFactory)
-
-	Stuart Caborn contributed Writing XML from a DataSet.
-	Luis Fernandez contributed constraint handling code.
-
-	Also there is new a Gtk# GUI tool from Dan that can be used to
-	try out various providers.
-
-* System.XML:
-
-	Atsushi has taken the lead in fixing and plugging the missing
-	parts of the System.XML namespace, many fixes, many
-	improvements.
-
-* CodeDom and the C# provider.
-
-	Jackson Harper has been helping us with the various interface
-	classes from the CodeDOM to the C# compiler, in this release
-	a new assembly joins us: Cscompmgd.  It is a simple assembly,
-	and hence Microsoft decided not to waste an entire "System"
-	"dot" on it.  
-
-* Testing
-
-	Nick Drochak has integrated the new NUnit 2.0 system.
-
-* Monograph:
-
-	Monograph now has a --stats option to get statistics on
-	assembly code.

-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.
-
-* 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.   Dietmar and Paolo
-	have been working on this.

-
-Hello!
-
-	A new version of Mono (0.12), is out.
-
-	Mono is an open source implementation of the Microsoft.NET
-	Framework, and ships with a C# compiler, a runtime engine
-	(with a JIT on x86 cpus) and a set of class libraries.
-
-	Mono is know to work on a number of platforms:
-	x86/Linux, x86/Windows, x86/FreeBSD; sparc/solaris;
-	linuxppc/linux; strongarm/linux.
-
-	There have been many changes since the last release of Mono in
-	late April, thanks to Duncan for assembling the list of new
-	features, any omissions are my fault.
-
-Changes since 0.11:
-
-	It is hard to keep track of the changes, as there are 1632
-	patches that were posted to the mailing list.  One third of
-	the total number of patches since we opened mono-patches
-	list.  I am sure I missed some stuff and probably missed some
-	contributors.  I apologize in advance.
-
-	Runtime:
-
-		Paolo: New Reflection.Emit generation code generates
-		code that can be executed in Windows.  Now binaries
-		generated by Mono/MCS will run on Windows.
-
-		Paolo got Activator.CreateInstance to work.
-
-		Sergey's CPU-optimization for CPBLK.
-
-		Many many bug fixes to the runtime from Dick, Dan
-		Lewis, Dietmar, Gonzalo, Martin, Paolo, Radek and Sergey,
-
-	Compiler:
-
-		Many bug fixes: The compiler can now compile Gtk#,
-		Vorbis#, System.Data assembly and System.Xml assembly
-		which previously did not work (Dietmar, Miguel, Paolo,
-		Piers, Ravi, Miguel).  Thanks to all the bug
-		reporters.
-
-	Class Libraries:
-
-		Mike started work on System.Xml.XPath
-
-		Christian, Dennis, Daniel and friends got more stubs
-		for System.Windows.Forms in.
-
-		Ajay revamped System.Xml.Schema.  And Jason and Duncan
-		updated System.Xml
-
-		Daniel also checked in a working CodeDOM
-		implementation and a C# provider.
-
-		Many bug fixes by everyone.  Thanks to Daniel, Duncan,
-		Jonathan, Lawrence, Martin Mike, Nick and Piers.  I am
-		missing a lot of contributors that should be listed.
-
-	ASP.NET support
-
-		A lot of work from Gonzalo allows some small and
-		modest ASP.NET applications to run (you still need the
-		unreleased XSP code though).
-
-	System.Data:
-
-		Integrated the MySQL provider from Brad Merryl.
-
-		Lots of work by Dan, Rodrigo, Tim.
-
-	Microsoft.VisualBasic runtime support
-
-		Rafael and Chris have been working on the VisualBasic
-		runtime support DLLs
-
-Hello everyone!
-
-	Mono 0.11 is out!
-
-	This new version has new features:
-
-	* Massive:
-
-		* Ultrich Kunitz implemented the whole calendar set of
-		  classes.  Yes, thats right.  The whole thing, with a
-		  complete test suite.  Thanks Ultrich!
-
-	* JIT/runtime features:
-
-		* Martin's debugging framework is included (see web
-		  site for details on how to use it). (Martin)
-
-		* Transparent Proxy has been implemented for the
-		  runtime (lets you run/debug/hack on remoting for Mono) (Dietmar)
-
-		* Inline and constant folding/propagation support
-		  in the JIT engine (Dietmar)
-
-		* Profiling support for the JIT engine (--profile).
-
-	* Cool runtime hacks, that made our compiler twice as fast:
-
-		* New string rewrite: faster, speedier, leaner, cooler!
-
-		  Paolo had been talking about a new string rewrite,
-		  and super hacker Patrik Torstensson started the
-		  implementation, Dietmar then switched the object
-		  layout and the Mono team helped iron out a few of
-		  the details.
-
-		* New array reprensetation: Dan Lewis contributed a new
-		  faster and smaller array implementation.
-
-		* Improved Reflection.Emit: Paolo improved our
-		  reflection emit code.
-
-	* ADO.NET
-
-		* Daniel Morgan, Rodrigo Moya have some pieces of the
-		  Sql classes ready to run.  he first signs of life
-		  this week (we can connect, insert rows; do transactions:
-		  commit/rollback; SQL errors and exceptions work).
-
-	* Http Runtime
-
-		* The HTTP runtime (to be used by our ASP.NET implementation)
-		  was contributed by Patrik Torstensson.  Patrik not only
-		  contributed a massive ammount of classes, but he immediately
-		  went on to implement ThreadPools and then helped out with the
-		  new String rewrite.
-
-	* XML improvements:
-
-		* Kral Ferch and Duncan Mak contributed more
-		  improvements to the XML implementation.
-
-		* Work on Xml Serialization from John Donagher.
-	
-	* Documentation:
-
-		* MonoDoc ships for the first time!
-		  (John Barnette, Adam Treat and John Sohn)
-
-		* New documentation stubs ready to be filled, and translated
-		  included (thanks to our doc team!)
-
-	* General fixes:
-
-		* Piers Haken fixed many of our attributes and many
-		  little problems that were exposed by his CorCompare tool
-
-		* Many Mono C# compiler bug fixes.
-
-	* Other improvements:
-
-		* NUnit works on Linux! (Patrik Torstensson)
-
-		* More NUnit tests (Nick Drochak)
-
-		* Windows.Forms progress: Dennis Hayes and Christian
-		  Meyer have been contributing stubs for the
-		  Windows.Forms work.
-
-		* Full Parse implementations and bug fixing by Gonzalo
-
-		* Dan Lewis contributed some missing classes for the
-		  Regexp implementation.
-
-		* Jonathan's trace classes
-
-* This Month's Mono is brought to you by:
-
-	Adam Treat, Chris Podugriel, Christian Meyer, Daniel Lewis,
-	Daniel Morgan, Dennis Hayes, Dick Porter, Dietmar Maurer,
-	Duncan Mak, Guarav Vaish, Gonzalo Paniagua, Jaime Anguiano,
-	Jason Diamond, Joe Shaw, John Barnette, John Donagher, John

-
-	I know that I missed some features, there is a lot of work
-	that happens in a month.  I apologize in advance for any
-	features I omited by accident.  
-
-	Special thanks go to Duncan for helping out with all those
-	little details in the project.  And also Nick who has been
-	keeping us in good shape by maintaining and helping new
-	contributors provide more test suites.
-
-* Reporting bugs
-
-	If you find a bug in Mono, please file a bug here:
-
-		http://bugzilla.ximian.com
-
-	That way we wont loose your bug report, and will be able to
-	follow up properly with it.  Also try to provide simple test
-	cases whenever possible and try as hard as possible to
-	identify the root of a problem (compiler, runtime, class
-	libraries).
-
-* Forum
-
-	The mono-list-request@ximian.com mailing list is open for
-	those of you who want to discuss the future of Mono.
-
-Hello everyone!  
-
-  	Mono "Self Hosting" 0.10 is out!  (Alex insisted I used the
-	<blink> tag for "Self Hosting", but was dissapointed when he
-	realized most mailers dont support this).
-
-	Too many things have happened since the the 0.9 release,
-	almost an entire month.  The big news is that we are shipping
-	a the self-hosting Mono C# compiler.  This has been tested on
-	Linux/x86 only.
-
-	Also, we delayed the release for one reason or other, but it
-	turns out that as a extra bonus, Paolo fixed the last
-	outstanding bug in the JIT engine, so the compiler now runs in
-	the JIT engine instead of the interpreter.
-
-	The mono-0.10 release includes the libraries required to run
-	the compiler as well as assorted .NET programs [1].
-
-* What is new
-
-	There is so much stuff in this release that is hard to keep
-	track of it.  
-
-	Jason, Kral and Duncan have done an amazing job with
-	System.Xml, up to the point that it is even being used by
-	gtk-sharp's code generator (and it all comes with great test
-	suites to verify that it works!).  Ajay's XmlSchema code is
-	also shipped.
-
-	Martin worked on our debugging infrastructure (the JIT can
-	load dwarf files, and our class libraries now generate dwarf
-	debugging info;  we are in the process of adding this to the
-	compiler, the patch did not make it to this release though).
-
-	For the first time the System.Web assembly has built without
-	all the excludes, so you can get your hands on Gaurav and
-	Lee's massive code base.
-
-	Lots of new tests to the runtime, class libraries and compiler
-	are included.  As always, big thanks go to Nick for continued
-	guidance to new developers, and writing new tests.
-
-	Dan removed the System.PAL dependency, we now have moved to an
-	internalcall setup for all the System.IO calls, and dropped
-	the MonoWrapper shared library.
-
-	Porting wise: Sergey's StrongARM port is included now; Jeff's
-	SPARC port and Radek's PowerPC port have been updated to
-	reflect the new changes in the engine.
-
-	Runtime wise: Dietmar also got us asyncronous delegates
-	implemented.  Dick continues his work on our foundation
-	classes, and has resumed his work on the IO layer.  
-
-	Paolo is the hero behind self hosting on Linux.  Send your
-	congrats (and wine) to him.
-
-	And without the help from Mike, Duco, David, Piers, Nick,
-	Sergey, Mark, Jonathan, John, Adam and Dennis this release
-	would have not been possible.
-
-	This release is mostly ECMA compatible.  I did not expect this
-	to happen so soon.  I am very grateful to everyone who has
-	made this happen
-
-* The goods
-
-	The runtime sources and binaries to the compiler/libraries:
-
-		http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.10.tar.gz
-
-	The class and compiler sources:
-
-		http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mcs-0.10.tar.gz
-
-* Requirements:
-
-	You still need glib-2, and pkg-config.  If you plan on
-	compiling large applications, getting the Boehm GC is a plus
-	(we will integrate this in a future version, for now it is an
-	external requirement).
-
-	Boehm GC is available in packaged format for Debian and Red
-	Hat systems.
-
-* To compile on Linux
-
-	Do your regular chores with mono-0.10.tar.gz, you know the
-	drill.  In the end, after you reach the `make install' phase,
-	now you can do some cool stuff.
-
-	If you want to compile the compiler (just to try it out),
-	untar the sources to the compiler (mcs-0.10.tar.gz) and do
-	manually:
-	
-		cd mcs-0.10
-		(cd jay; make)
-		(cd mcs; make monomcs)
-
-	Now you will end up with a nice mcs4.exe in the mcs/mcs
-	directory, that is the compiler.  If you want to use that,
-	replace the mcs.exe we distribute with the mcs4.exe you got.
-
-* Gadgets
-
-	Man pages for mcs, mono and mint are included for your
-	enjoyment.  
-
-	Particularly of interest is `mint --profile' which is awesome
-	to profile your application, the output is very useful.
-
-	Also, if you want to impress your friends, you might want to
-	run the JIT with the `-d' flag, that shows you how the JITer
-	compiles the code (and shows the basic blocks and the forst of
-	trees as it goes).
-
-* Next steps
-
-	More classes are missing.  These are required so we can run
-	nant and nunit natively.  Once we achieve that, we will be
-	able to ship a complete environment that compiles on Linux.
-	
-	Currently our makefiles still use csc, as we still need
-	nunit/nant to work.
-
-[1] Of course, .NET programs that try to use classes we have not yet
-implemented, will be left wondering `why did this happen to me?'.  
-
-Hello!
-
-	I have just uploaded Mono 0.9 to the web server, you can get
-	the goodies here:
-
-		http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.9.tar.gz
-		http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mcs-0.9.tar.gz
-
-	mono-0.9.tar.gz contains the source code to the runtime (JIT
-	and interpreter) as well as a pre-compiled version of the
-	compiler (mcs.exe) and the class libraries.
-
-	To compile the compiler and the class libraries, you still
-	need Windows with the .NET SDK, as our runtime can not host
-	the compiler completely yet.
-
-* Improved Build System
-
-	You can check http://www.go-mono.com/download.html for the
-	new and fresh compilation instructions.  Same requirements as
-	the last version (pkg-config, glib 1.3.xx need to be
-	installed). 
-
-* What is new:
-
-	Compiler can compile about 75% of our regression test suite
-	on Linux.  Most of this work is on the class libraries and
-	Paolo has been the magician behind the work here.
-
-	JIT can run the compiler now (Dietmar)
-	
-	Mint works on Windows now (Dick).
-
-	Application Domains have been implemented (Dietmar)
-
-		* Two modes of operation are available, depending on
-		  your needs: share code, or maximize speed (does not
-		  share code).  This is described by the the
-		  LoaderOptimization enumeration in .NET.
-
-	Corlib no longer has references to mscorlib (Daniel Lewis)
-
-	Ports:
-		PowerPC has been updated (Radek Doulik)
-		New SPARC port (Jeffrey Stedfast)
-
-	Documentation system:
-		Adam Treat has been working on finishing the Doctools
-		to maintain the Mono class library documentation.  We
-		still need a GUI editor though.
-
-	Tracking progress:
-		Nick's new tools to track progress are included in
-		this release.
-
-	Many new more regression tests for the class library
-		(David Brandt, Mark Crichton, Nick Drochak, Bob Doan,
-		 Duco Fijma).
-
-	Lots of new code:
-		Gaurav Vaish (the hacking god behind System.Web),
-		Chris Podugriel (System.Data) and Mark Crichton (Crypto)
-
-	Runtime:
-		Socket layer is finished (Dick Porter)
-
-	Compiler has full support for unsafe code now (Miguel)
-		Still a few things missing: constant folding is not 
-		finished everywhere and access permissions are not
-		enforced yet.
-	
-	Many many many bug fixes everywhere from everyone on the team:
-
-		Paolo Molaro, Daniel Lewis, Daniel Stodden, Dietmar
-		Maurer, Jeff Stedfast, Nick Drochak, Duco Fijma, Ravi Pratap,
-		Dick Porter, Duncan Mak, Jeff Stedfast and Miguel de Icaza.
-
-	I am sorry if I left a major component out of the
-	announcement, this were some intense 11 days of work.
-
-* What is obviously missing
-
-	Currently our System.Reflection.Emit is lacking array and
-	pointer support, which is why many programs still do not
-	compile, but this should be taken care of next week.
-
-* How can you help
-
-	There are many ways to help the project, check the details
-	documentation in:
-
-		http://www.go-mono.com/contributing.html
-
-	You might also want to stop by our IRC channel on
-	irc.gnome.org, channel #mono if you are interested in
-	contributing.
-
-Have a happy weekend!
-Miguel.
-
-Hey guys!
-
-   Mono 0.7 has been released. 
-
-   It has been a long time since the last release of Mono (almost
-three weeks).  We have made an incredible ammount of work in the past
-three weeks.  
-
-* Highlights of this release:
-
-	* The monoburg: BURS-instruction selector implemented (for our
-	  portable JIT engine).
-
-	* JIT engine works for very simple programs (Fibonacci works
-	  for instance).  It is about 30% faster running than the
-	  equivalent code compiled with Kaffe.
-
-	  The interesting part is that this was accomplished with the
-	  a minimum register allocator, and very simple monoburg
-	  rules, so there is a *lot* of room to improve here.
-
-	* The Interpreter has madured a lot.  Value Types are fully
-	  supported now;  We dropped the FFI dependency, as we now
-	  have our own code generator.
-
-	* The runtime has been expanded and extended as to support
-	  real file I/O (including console I/O).  So Hello World works
-	  in there. 
-
-	* The compiler can generate code for most statements now; It
-	  also performs semantic analysis on most expressions.
-	  Creation of new objects is supported, access to parameters,
-	  fields and local variables works.  Method invocation works.
-	  Implicit type conversions, assignments and much more.
-
-	  Operator overloading is implemented, but broken on this
-	  release, hopefully this will be fixed soon.
-
-	  Delegates and Attributes are now declared and passed around,
-	  but no code generation for those exist yet.
-
-	* More classes (look for details).  Sergey and Paolo have been
-	  working on various classes in System.Reflection.Emit to get
-	  the compiler self-hosting.
-
-	* NUnit is now part of the distribution, so it should be
-	  trivial to write test cases (and if you want to help out,
-	  this is one way to do it, we really need more tests cases).
-
-    I am going to try to switch to Nick's JB for C# this week or next
-week.  But the excitement of having the compiler deal with real C#
-programs is too much to be contained, and I can not keep my hands of
-the code generation in the compiler.
-

-	  http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.7.tar.gz
-	  http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mcs-0.7.tar.gz
-
-* Details
-
-  Class Library Changes:
-
-  Many enumerations have been revamped to have the same value
-definitions as those in .NET as those cause problems.  They were also
-missing the [Flags] attributes, so we got that right too.
