Subject: [Mono-devel-list] Mono 1.0 and the feature set.
Hello,
J�rg did make a very important point
that is worth discussing:
> Most things have been said
already.
> My main concern about 1.0 aren't new features. I think all
major bugs
> should be fixed or sorted out.
Absolutely.
We
are working to fix all the reported bugs and plugging the
functionality that
we had not implemented before. But we also need
your
help.
We need more and more apps to be tried on Mono, because every
new app
will probably expose one or more bugs on its foundation. For
instance,
Vault exposed tons of failures, missing features and
scalability
problems. IBuySpy and BlogX have uncovered various features
that we
did not know existed on ASP.NET, and .Text has exposed a couple
of
failures in Serialization.
But we need more tests, and we need your
help. We need people to try
out their web services, their database
applications and their webforms
applications on Mono and push the limits of
the runtime.
Dick for example has been on a quest to implement
CultureInfo, and we
are very happy that Mono now optionally can use the open
source
`international components for unicode' from IBM to implement all
of
this functionality.
I am very happy that this major component
that we had ignored for so
long now has been finally
implemented.
Miguel
