We have just released Mono 1.2.6. Some of the highlights
for this release include:
- Native Windows.Forms driver for MacOS X allows
Winforms-based applications to run without an X
server.
- Support for the ASP.NET AJAX APIs and controls.
- Support for FastCGI deployments: ASP.NET can now
be deployed on a multitude of servers that implement
the FastCGI protocol (lighttpd for example) in
addition to Apache.
- Windows.Forms now supports the WebControl on
Windows and Linux using Mozilla.
- Runtime will now consume much less memory for
2.0-based applications due to various optimizations in
generics support as well as including many new
performance improvements and an updated verifier and
an implementation of CoreCLR security.
- C# compiler is quickly approaching full 3.0
support, most of the basics work right now (except
support for System.Query.Expression AST generation).
- Mono 1.2.6 can now be used as an SDK for creating
Silverlight 1.1 applications on all platforms. This
allows developers to create applications that target
Silverlight without requiring a Windows installation.
