Re: [Mono-list] HTML or XAML?

[Randy J. Ray]

  I was just reading this article at ZDNet called Microsoft patents 'HTML
applications', the title says it all, really.
I particularly enjoyed reading this paragraph:

According the application, the patent (no. 6,662,341) covers writing a 
standard HTML file that runs in its own window outside of the browser. This 
means, according to the filing, that the author of an HTML application file 
won't face the security constraints imposed by a browser. This relaxed 
security allows an HTML author to do things such as: read from a user's local 
computer; write to a user's local computer and perform scripting of frames 
between domains.

...because, after all, the MS platform is renowned for its security.

My first concern was that the path to bytefx.snk used \ rather than / for a 
separator. But assuming that mcs handles this in a platform-independant 
fashion, there is no bytefx.snk in the dist area, either as part of the tar-
file or generated during the build process.

Re: [Mono-list] Patch to browser/browser.cs in monodoc

[Randy J. Ray]

This requires CVS Gtk#
Yeah, I guess the question this really brings up is whether a new release 
such as monodoc-0.6, which was grouped with the rest of the mono 0.26 packages 
on the download page, should at least mention this.

When I downloaded the 0.26 and related packages, the only Gtk# *release* 
package was 0.10. There was nothing to indicate that I needed the CVS head, 
aside from the general failure to build.
