Releases, news, etc.

Now that Miguel has posted the mono release schedule I can post a bit more MD based info.

We will be releasing for both beta 1 and beta 2 (our releases 0.3 and 0.4 releases). Packages for 0.3 may be released at some point between beta 1 and beta 2, however beta 1 will not include packages on the 4th.

Our 0.3 release will have real GAC support and the beginnings of our new build system. For this release I am going to try and get as much in as is possible, and then we will include a menuitem for generating makefiles. For 0.4 we will have fixed all the wonderful bugs filed on the 0.3 menuitem and replace the build system default with the new stuff. However the old build system will still be accessible for any projects that dont work with the new build system.

0.next (the one tied to the mono 1.0 release, as yet unnumbered) will most likely still include the legacy build system, just to support strange *strange* configurations, but hopefully it can be removed after that.

In other news, found this interesting project on slashdot that uses MD. Very cool... very very cool.

Back to hacking
