Some of the new features touted for this release that updates Mono v0.31 include a faster interpreter, a global assembly cache, support for the StrongARM and HPPA platforms, generics support in the VM and C# compiler and an early alpha of System.Windows.Forms.

Another OSS project that is a clone of something Microsoft did, while the community bitches about Microsoft.

10 Bitch about something Microsoft did.
20 Clone it like hypocrites.
30 Goto 10.

Is there a single original thought in the entire OSS community? The power of volunteers the world over, and we make a clone of UNIX, then we make a clone of Windows on top of it. Nice.
