Novell has released Mono 1.1.17, an open source implementation of Microsoft's .NET framework that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows. Changes in this release include:
The Mono Basic compiler and the Basic runtime have been removed from the Mono distribution. A new compiler that is compatible with Visual Basic 2005 and a matching runtime are now part of a separate distribution. On this particular release, we are offering the basic runtime, but the compiler is not able to run completely on Mono yet.
Windows.Forms: Printing is now supported.
This release is able to compile and build IronPython 1.0 RC2.
COM: Basic COM support has been integrated.
