----------------------------------------------------------- From: spark Message 1 in Discussion The Open source .Net implementation has finally been released as version 1.0. The project was code named Mono as many of you already know. Mono ships with a C# compiler, a full CLR implementation, a large part of teh base class libraries that are avilable as teh commercial .Net framework on Windows, Webservices, ASP.Net, ADO.Net (a whole pile of providers), somethings that are not available for Windows (portable GTK# libraries to replace Windows forms) and more. There is also a IDE under development by a different group that is called MonoDevelop. MonoDevelop presently supports Xwindow systems on various Unixes and Mac OS. It has support for some esoteric languages for Nemerle is addition to C#. The IDE however is not near the official release version. (http://www.monodevelop.com/) Here is a snippet from Miguel De Icaza's blog (Miggy is the lead developer of the Mono project) : We vastly underestimated the Slashdot effect. There were 85k hits in the first hour since we went live, and then the machine collapsed under the weight and has remained in that state despite repeated attempts to get some data out of it. None of the betas really had this problem, we got some mild load, but today the load on the machine was insane. I made a few posts today: New Windows.Forms plan, the new cvs rules in the post 1.0 world and finally a thank you note to developers. Mike Kestner has posted an update on Gtk# in the release. http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/activity-log.php You can download Mono from http://www.go-mono.com/ (whenever the server comes up) regards, Roshan (yet another .Net hacker) James ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/cochindotnet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
