mallumax writes "A new veriosn of Mono(2.8) has been released: Mono has now integrated SourceGear's webservice enhancements, and there has been a lot of improvement in XML, serialization and web services. Other features are new thread locking and ahead-of-time compiler optimisations. Check out the Mono website for more details." Congratulations are in order for the Mono team as well -- SourceGear was their first customer.

RTFP. It's veriosn 2.8 which is the same as version 0.28, I presume.

Interesting that you figure 2.8 == .28! You must work on the federal budget?

The open source communities have largely embraced java even though sun still imposes some restrictions through licensing. This has had a large negative effect on the spread of some java technologies (like JAI or java3D not being available on macOS).

And .Mono will be much more open, yes! And it will we as widespread as, like, GNUStep, and the next version will be more stable and feature-wise than Java 1.4.2 (because it's a second generation and Java just fourth). And it will be more portable than J2me and more scalable than J2ee. And will bring peace and love to mankind.
And when .Net and .Mono will meet .Net will say "I am your father...It is pointless to resist, my son". And .Mono will answer "I will not fight you, Father. I've got to save you.".
