完整的 C# 5.0 编译器与异步编程支持，C# 交互式 shell，用于 4.5 配置文件支持，新的微软打开源堆栈、 运行时优化、 改进的 Mac OS X 和 iOS 的支持，以及更多。
A complete C# 5.0 compiler with asynchronous programming support, a C# interactive shell, support for the 4.5 profile, new Microsoft open source stacks, runtime optimizations, improved Mac OS X and iOS support, and much more.
This release updates the Task Parallel Library. SQLiteConnection can now set the threading mode. There is an improved debugger protocol. Basic support has been added for MSBuild 4.0. NuGet now runs on Mono. Phalanger 3.0 now runs with Mono. Support for some Azure libraries. Support for bundling profilers in a static binary. The profiler can now log its data to any file descriptor. SGen now has native support for object systems that implement ToggleRefs. Mobile Profile now contains System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles. PerformanceCounters for JIT statistics. Android CPU count. HashSet<T> can now be serialized.
SIMD constructors have been optimized. The polling code is no longer present and instead a cross-platform solution to the problem is being used, which provides support for Thread.Interrupt() and does not consume CPU cycles. The old JIT has been removed, and only the new linear IR based JIT is available. Support for Real Time Signals was added to Mono.Posix. Mono's ASP.NET stack can now run precompiled ASP.NET Web sites generated with Visual Studio or using the aspnet_compiler.
This release has a better code generation engine,
called Linear IL. Generic sharing is now turned on
in all cases. Support for monitoring the runtime
internals is now available through a new
PerformanceCounters implementation. This release
introduces the Attach functionality, SIMD support,
a more efficient regex interpreter, a new
interactive shell for C#, plus many other
improvements and bugfixes.
This release has compilers for C# 3.0 and VB.NET
8. It includes new bindings for GTK, Cairo, and
SQLite, as well as several new
Microsoft-compatible APIs, including ADO.NET 2,
ASP.NET 2, and Windows.Forms 2, allowing Winforms
applications to run on Linux and other Unix
systems. Mono 2.0 adds a debugger and the Gendarme
"lint" tool for C#.
