Tue Aug 26 14:00:00 2008 ajorgensenAATTnovell.com
- Update to 2.0 (preview 2)

* Runtime: Performance

* The performance of operations on decimals has significally improved.

* The performance of locking (Monitor.Enter/Monitor.Exit) is significally improved.

* The memory usage of the runtime is reduced, especially when using generics.

* Many race conditions and threading problems were fixed, improving reliability.

* Math.Min/Math.Max and some forms of Interlocked.CompareExhange (CAS) are now implemented using fast inline code on x86/amd64.

* There is now a MONO_DEBUG=dont-free-domains option that improves the performance of ASP.NET-based applications.

* Runtime: Features

* Some progress has been made on the Winx64 port [Bill Holmes, Jonathan Chambers]

* The runtime is now built using the dolt libtool replacement (http://dolt.freedesktop.org/) this speeds up runtime compilations by about 30%.

* The runtime build process is now less verbose on some platforms, similar to the way the linux kernel is built. To turn it off, use the --enable-quiet-build=no argument to configure, or pass the V=1 argument to make.

* There is now a --debug=casts command line option to the runtime which turns on the reporting of better InvalidCastException message details.

* The mono_method_get_unmanaged_thunk () function has been implemented for developers embedding Mono which simplifies calling managed methods from unmanaged code.

* C# Compiler

* The compiler now support expression trees (turning expressions into an AST at compile time when the type of a parameter is a System.Query.Expression). This completes the C# 3.0 support.

* Over 60 reported bugs in the compiler were fixed and many of the internals have been cleaned up. Extensive refactoring and hardening of the C# 2.0 and 3.0 support are now better integrated.

* A major rewrite of the anonymous method/lambda support in the internals of the compiler now optimizes the resulting code, and fixes several bugs in this area.

* The compiler is now dual licensed under the MIT X11 and the GNU GPL version 2 (only).

* The compiler now supports #pragma checksum for use with ASP.NET debugging and #line hidden, as well as flagging more compiler-generated code properly (to avoid the debugger single-stepping into those bits).

* LINQ

* LINQ and LINQ to XML are now complete, support for expression trees is now available as well as the backend to support expression tree compilation.

* LINQ to Dataset has also been implemented.

* Performance Counters Implementation

* Mono now has a performance counters implementation that can be used to monitor various statistics of Mono processes. To access this API you use the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter classes.

* Big Arrays

* Mono now supports 64-bit indexed arrays on 64-bit systems. Although this is permitted by the ECMA standard, this today is a unique feature of Mono as .NET on Windows does not support 64-bit array indexes. This code was developed by Luis Ortiz at Interactive Supercomputing and integrated by Rodrigo Kumpera.

* This feature is useful for developers that needs to manipulate very large data sets with C# arrays.

* To use this feature, you must configure Mono with --enable-big-arrays.
