Runtime and C# will now correctly list all generic interfaces implemented by a given method. This release includes a portability layer in Mono that will address problems without requiring changes to your code. There have been over 100 bugs fixed in Windows.Forms and System.Drawing. The mcs and gmcs code bases have now been unified, which will help reduce maintenance cost of the two compilers.
The Mono Basic compiler and the Basic runtime have been removed from the Mono distribution. Printing is now supported in Windows.Forms. Basic COM support has been integrated. The FileSystem will now use inotify directly on systems that support it without having to go through an external library.
IronPython 1.0 Beta 8 works with this release out of the box. Windows.Forms and System.Drawing were greatly improved. New default optimizations boost performance for compute intensive applications. A long-standing bug with debugging line numbers was fixed. Preview code is available for the new Compacting GC. The runtime was hardened for verification, AppDomain unloading, and type loading failures. Significant progress was made on ASP.NET 2.0. Some Starter Kits are now functional, and large improvements were made to its test suite.
This is the first beta towards the release of Mono 1.2. It supports OS X on Intel boxes. A basic implementation of System.Transactions has been added. Sending the QUIT signal to a running Mono process will produce a stack trace of each thread. Large file uploads are now supported in ASP.NET.
