Mono Project is an Open Source implementation of the various ECMA and .NET framework technologies for Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows. The project includes a compiler, a class library, and a CLI runtime engine.
The Mono Basic compiler and the Basic runtime have been removed from the Mono distribution. Printing is now supported in Windows.Forms. Basic COM support has been integrated. The FileSystem will now use inotify directly on systems that support it without having to go through an external library.
