1.2 Gnunit 0.2 released

The first public source code release of gnunit (formerly known as nunit-gtk) is available here. Gnunit is a Gtk# frontend for running NUnit2 tests. If you are willing to start contributing to mono, one of the first things to do is writing tests for those classes that don't have one already or improve the exiting ones. Running tests with nunit-console is boring, so... You can Gnunit in action here.

1.3 Linux s390 Mono packages available

Neale Ferguson has contributed Mono packages for the Linux/s390. You can get them from the download page. We have to thanks Neale and other packagers their effort to make Mono easily available for everybody.

1.4 New mod_mono (0.5) released

Gonzalo announced a new version of mod_mono, the ASP.NET apache module. It works together with mod-mono-server, available in xsp. You can get it here and the XSP version you need is here.

1.5 Mono 0.28 has been released

A new version of Mono is out. This release marks the completion of the SourceGear project to add web services functionality to Mono and improve its reliability. Since the last release, 1,124 individual commits were done to our runtime and class libraries. 144 bugzilla bugs were closed. As you can expect, this release features bug fixes everywhere: memory leaks plugged, performance problems solved, performance improvements and more. A special area of robustness is the client-side web services component: it is extremely robust now, as one of the SourceGear acceptance criteria was a 24-hour continuous test of their client library that did millions of web service operations. You can get more detailed information in the release notes

1.6 Monodoc 0.7 has been released

MonoDoc 0.7 has been released. This release contains tons of improvements, and tons of new documentation. Monodoc now runs as a GUI client and also as a web service provider (you can see it live here. The C# spec is now part of the documentation. All errors generated by MCS are included with samples so you can find out what errors mean. Class library rendering can now group methods with the same name (and a nice page for overloads is also generated). It supports keyboard navigation, etc. Find out more in the release announcement.

1.7 Mono Kick Start book available in English

The Mono Kick Start book is now available in English. Originally available only in German. The book technical review was done by Dietmar Maurer JIT architect at the Mono team.

1.8 Monologue, the true Monoers RSS aggregator

One aggregator to find all the monoers blogs, one aggregator to link them... Some of the core Mono developers have started a new pet project called Monologue. Very similar to Jeff Waugh's Planet GNOME. Both are very good URL's to add to your favourites. Monologue code is in Mono CVS for your viewing pleasure under the monologue module.
