Re: [Mono-devel-list] Embedding Mono in a Virtual World

You might be able to cook up something with serializable objects and
lightweight threads based on generators (yield) But this is just
food for though...

 Is it possible to save and load mono stacks?
 
 I'm currently looking at embeding mono in a virtual
 world application to run user scripts. I need to be
 able to save the state of a running script, send it to
 another machine and start the execution where it left
 off.
 
 Can it be done? If so how?
 
 Cheers,
 
 Jim.

Hello,  miguel.

I am preparing the 1.1.5 release;   Please let me know what features
 should be highlighted in this new release since our 1.1.4 release.

New Npgsql features:

- - Added support for implicit parameter stored procedure call. Parameters
are added in order they were added to NpgsqlCommand Parameters
collection. This is the same style of calling stored procedures with
SqlClient.

- - Added support for record return type functions. Thanks neri and Michel
for heads up and tests.

- - Added Varchar support. Thanks Peter and Gustav for heads up.

- - Npgsql doesn't depend on System.Drawing and System.Windows.Forms
(a.k.a SWF) when compiled with Mono. This dependency is only necessary
to add design time support for VS.NET and so only enabled when compiling
with csc. Thanks Eno and Rafael Teixeira for help.

- - Added support for updating output parameters when calling
ExecuteReader(). Thanks Mike Griffin (mike dot griffin at
mygenerationsoftware dot com) for heads up.

Many bug fixes.

Re: [Mono-devel-list] patents

2005-03-19 Thread Jeffrey Knight
  Only Miguel or a Novell official can speak about Mono and patents.  

I probably I misinterpreted this: why isn't anyone free to speak about
Mono and patents?
Mono is GPL'd -- why would a Novell official be in a better position
than anyone else?

 Hi,http://web.archive.org/web/20030609164123/http://mailserver.di.unipi.it/pipermail/dotnet-sscli/msg00218.html
 Can anyone shed any further light on this? I'm trying to get mono adopted
 into the official Fedora Extras but because of the above, it seems there is
 a lot of negative against it. TTFN Paul 
 
   
  
 
   
 
 1)  Only Miguel or a Novell official can speak about Mono and patents. 
 
 2)  All patents needed to produce a version of ECMA .NET are RAND
 (Reasonable and non-discriminatory). It seemed at one time Red Hat was
 concerned about how reasonable the terms might be. I think the agreement
 with HP combined with the non-discriminatory terms kills this argument.
 Therefore I think anyone can duplicate ECMA .NET without patent problems
 related to .NET 
 
 3)  I think patents not related to .NET could still be a problem. For
 instance my understanding is that MS has some patents related the SendAPI
 where when a file is sent over the network, the network and file system use
 the same kernel buffer. In the old days, I guess the file was copied to a
 user buffer first, consuming a lot of time. This is just an example, so it
 doesn't matter if I am wrong here. The point is that is MS held such a
 patent, it would not be required for ECMA .NET, so not covered by the RAND
 agreement. If Mono used the patented technique it would not be protected by
 the ECMA agreement.
 This is a basic problem with software patents; almost any program beyond
 hello w orld will violate somebody's patents. I do not think this level of
 patents is what bothers Red Hat. 
 
 4)  Not all of .NET is part of the ECMA standard. System.Windows.Forms,
 System.Data, and VB.NET are major pieces not included in the ECMA standard,
 MS has never given anyone permission to use these patents, but have said
 they are open to negations. 
 
 5)  I far as I know, MS has NO patents on .NET. they applied for a
 patent that covered the entire namespace two years ago, as far as I know,
 that patent is still pending. This does not include patents that are not
 part of .NET, but that coul dbe used to implement .NET (see #3) 
 
 6)  See point #1.

Re: [Mono-devel-list] Preparing the 1.1.5 release.

2005-03-19 Thread Jeffrey Knight
This shouldn't exactly be highlighted, but mono = 1.1.4 will not
build from the tarball on linuxppc on a G3.
Granted, this is quite obscure.  But it might be worth mentioning as a
known issue.
