 ** Licensing
 
-	The class library will be licensed under the terms of the GNU
-	LGPL.  Some people have pointed out that the plain LGPL is
-	troublesome for embedded use of the Mono class libraries.  So
-	we are considering to use the GPL with a special exception
-	(like the <a
-	href="http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/classpath.html">GNU
-	Classpath</a> project did.
-
-	The exception to the GPL would be:
-
-	<i>The library is distributed under the terms of the GNU General
-   	Public License with the following exception:
-
-   	If you link this library against your own program, then you do not
-   	need to release the source code for that program. However, any
-   	changes that you make to the library itself, or to any native
-   	methods upon which the library relies, must be re-distributed in
-   	accordance with the terms of the GPL.</i>
-
-	If you are going to contribute, please keep in mind that we
-	might require you to agree that Ximian might adjust the
-	license to enable the use of the class libraries on embedded
-	systems or to develop proprietary applications using Mono.
-
-	We suggest that you assign the copyright of your work to the
-	GNOME Foundation or the Free Software Foundation to simplify
-	defending the code in case it is used inappropiately.

+** Dec 18, 2001

+	JIT: More work on our IO abstraction layer (Dick). 
+
+	JIT: exception handling for unmanaged code (Dietmar)
+
+	System.Reflection: Support for PropertyInfo and
+	PropertyBuilder as well as the various queries for MethodBase.
+
+	C#: Pre-processor; Rewrite of MemberLookup which fixed many of
+	the outstanding issues.  More bug fixing allows it to compile
+	more programs.
+
+** Dec 14, 2001
+
+	Dietmar has improved the register allocation and now Mono performs
+	two to three times as fast as it did yesterday.  Amazing.
+
+	The compiler keeps moving along, explicit interface
+	implementation is there.
+
+** Dec 11, 2001
+
+	The JIT engine can now run all the compiler regression tests as 
+	well as assorted other programs, many more opcodes added
+	recently.  Currently the JIT engine uses a very simplistic register
+	allocator (just enough to allow us to focus on feature completeness)
+	and that will be the next major task to improve performance and
+	reduce spills and reloads. 
+
+	On the C# compiler front: language features are now pretty
+	much complete.  The big missing tasks are unsafe code support,
+	visibility, explicit interface implementation plus static flow
+	analysis.  There are many small bugs that need to be addressed.
+
+	You can get your copy of the <a href="snapshots">latest Mono</a>
+
+	More work is also required on fixing the foundation class
+	libraries, it is easy to find spots now since Nick got the
+	`make test' going.

 	AnonCVS access to Mono is here (updated every hour).  Thanks
