dnAnalytics is is a numerical library for the .NET Framework. The library is written in C# and is available as a fully managed library, but also provides an interface to native BLAS and LAPACK libraries. The native interface is compatible with ATLAS/ CLAPACK, Intel's MKL, and AMD's ACML. The library is compatible with Mono and has been tested on Windows, and various Linux distributions. The current release includes matrix, vector and complex number classes, and support for basic linear algebra routines (such as LU, Cholesky, QR, Levinson, and SVD). We will be adding optimization, calculus, random number, statistical, option pricing, genetic programming, and neural network components in the future.

Their Native Libaray Interace (NLI) provides a managed interface to native numerical libraries. Currently, it wraps all of the BLAS routines and the most commonly used LAPACK routines from ATLAS, CLAPACK, Intel's Math Kernal Library, AMD's ACML. More LAPACK routines and additionaly libraries will be wrapped in the future.

Mono 1.1.15, an update to our beta has been released and is available in our downloads page.

This release fixes the most important issues reported in the beta, specially related to Windows.Forms.

At LinuxWorld 2006 in Boston, Mono won the award for "Best Application Development Platform or Tool".

Congratulations Mono Developers!

A new version of MonoDevelop has been released

New features in this release include:

• Visual Designer for GTK#. The Stetic GUI designer is now integrated into MonoDevelop.
• Refactoring operations.
• Source code printing.

See the above url for screenshots and the full feature list.

Tomas Calibera at Charles University in Prague has updated his Mono performance tracking to include a new set of tests. All of the runtime tests in mono/tests are now ran on a daily basis and compared against the last day build to identify early performance problems.

Visit the new tests here.

Tomas' team has been tracking Mono's performance since 2004.

Our beta process towards the release of Mono 1.2 has started. The release packages are available in our downloads page.

Read the release notes.

The current Mono contains all the features that will be part of the final Mono 1.2, this process initiates a faster release schedule to quickly fix bugs in Mono.

We encourage users of this release to file bugs in our bug tracking system
