Hello, I am still working on a patch for the Mono runtime: the goal is to have it integrated by Novell but it must meet certain criteria to do so.
Meanwhile, I have prepared a patched version of the recently released 2.4.3. If you need an interim solution, you can find the disk images at http://build.monobjc.net/releases/2.4.3_M/MonoFramework-2.4.3_M-universal.dmg Regards, Laurent Etiemble. 2009/12/2 Laurent Etiemble <laurent.etiem...@monobjc.net>: > Hello, > > Sorry for the late update, but I had some busy nights trying to find > another work-around for the Snow Leopard crash.
