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."

    They're slow because they're still adding all of the bugs that VS.Net has already.

    You would that instead of perpetually being behind Microsoft in the current state of the libraries, that we would develop a completely new set of libraries. That way we aren't always playing catch up to what will ultimately be a windows only set of libraries.

    The Mono project is developing its own set of libraries. Read Question #1 of the Mono FAQ. This is why I support the Mono project. It's not just following in the footsteps of Microsoft. It's taking a good idea and pushing it beyond where Microsoft may or may not choose to take it.

    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.
