Mono 0.30 Released

Posted by michael on from the still-a-terrible-name dept.

Blair16 writes "From OSNews -- Mono 0.30 has been released. This release includes four components at once: the Runtime and Software Development Kit, the Documentation browser, and the ASP.NET server with its Apache module. Packages for various distributions are also available from our download page. This is mostly a fine-tuning release: bug fixing and performance improvements are the major benefits, but new classes and new features are also included. See the rest of the notes for details."

    The Mono Project is an open development initiative sponsored by Ximian that is working to develop an open source, Unix version of the Microsoft .NET development platform.

    They may develop independant libraries, but the core of it is just implementing Microsoft's .NET platform which is the core library. They will always be catching up in that initiative, and they might as well just develop a completely new base of libraries.

    Look in the FAQ. "Mono" means "monkey" in Spanish. Presumably, it's because of Miguel's heritage and the Ximian sponsorship.

    Because of the associations in English (mono-nucleosis, mono-poly, mono-aural) it was not such a great choice.
