mono (2.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Mono 2.4 ships a lot of goodies:
    + SIMD support in Mono.
    + No expensive polls in the threading implementation any longer.
    + Speed-up garbarge collection on multi-core systems.
    + Optimized XPath (using 15% less memory).
    + Faster DateTime.TryParse implementation (by not using try/catch).
    + Support for precompiled ASP.NET pages.
  * Complete Announcement of Mono 2.4 (vs Mono 2.2):
    http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.4

  * Mono 2.2 also ships with lovely things:
    + The tree-based code generation engine in the JIT was replaced with the
      Linear IL engine, which allows better optimizations.
    + Generic sharing is now used in all cases (reduces memory usage).
    + Generic sharing is now supported on ARM.
    + Support of full Ahead of Time Compilation.
    + New PerformanceCounters implementation that allows to monitor the runtime
      internals. Including the GUI tool "mperfmon" to view them.
    + Interactive shell called "csharp" that allows to execute C#
      expressions inside a shell. There is also a GUI version available
      called "gsharp".
    + Live Inspection. You can attach using the csharp shell to a
      running process and run code inside to debug things.
    + The C# compiler will now optimize empty strings ("") away with
      String.Empty (which reduces memory usage).
    + The Regular Expressions engine has been rewritten being more efficient.
      At the same time compiled regex are also supported now.
    + ASP.NET supports now new routing handlers needed by ASP.NET MVC.
    + In the WinForms implementation were almost 200 bugs fixed (since Mono 2.0)
  * Complete Announcement of Mono 2.2 (vs Mono 2.0):
    http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_2.2
 
  * Mono 2.0 shipped with:
    + A console debugger (mdb) part of the mono-debugger package.
    + WinForms 2.0 API is complete.
    + WinForms's WebBrowser was implemented using Mozilla's Gecko HTML
      rendering engine.
    + WinForms now supports international keyboard input through XIM.
    + Performance of locking (used by threading) was significally improved.
    + New debug parameter "--debug=cast" which print outs the types in for
      InvalidCastException.
    + The C# compiler supports now expression trees (for LINQ) which completes
      the C# 3.0 support.
    + The C# compiler is now dual-licensed under MIT/X11 and GPLv2 (only).
    + LINQ and LINQ to XML are now complete.
    + Big Arrays for 64bit architectures are now support (but have to be
      compiled using the --enable-big-arrays configure switch)

mono (1.2.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Here we go, Mono 1.2 is now official stable and released!

  * Mono 1.2 brings a lot of new features in:
    - The C# 2.0 compiler is now stable, and the ECMA standard was updated, so
      it's safe to use C# 2.0 (gmcs) now. _But_ the 2.0 API is not complete, thus
      there are classes/methods still missing.
    - Mono is now officially supported on the following architectures:
      + 32bit: i386, powerpc, arm, s390, sparc.
      + 64bit: amd64, s390x, ia64.
      The debian packages are available for: i386, powerpc arm, amd64 and ia64.
      Packages for s390, s390x, sparc and kfreebsd-i386 are under review, when
      the ports are prooved to be stable enough, we will include them.
    - Complete System.Windows.Forms 1.1 API
      This version is not using wine! SWF runs natively on Linux (X11 driver)
      using an own implementation (libgdiplus).
    - File System Watching API now supports inotify.

mono (0.96-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * It has been quite a while since the last Mono release in Debian and
    we feel that it's time to announce few things changed in the
    meantime:

  - dependencies management and debhelper integration - the new
    mono-utils package contains scripts to create and manage dependencies
    between the .NET library packages.  They work in a similar way to the
    .shlibs system in Debian. For more details, see dh_makenetlibs(1),
    dh_netdeps(1) and monodoc's rules file as example.
    Another script available now is dh_installxsp which will install
    snippets of configuration files for XSP packages (HTML/ASP.NET server
    and Apache module).

  - the GAC - except of mscorlib.dll, all DLLs are moved into
    /usr/share/dotnet hierarchy and are now loaded using the GAC (Global
    Assembly Cache) method. This also makes sane versioning possible,
    similar to SONAME handling on native shared libraries.
 
  - see README.Debian for further details about changes and the current
    .NET Debian policy
