Mono 项目致力于各个平台( Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix)上的开源版本的 .net 实现，从1.2.3开始，基础类库的实现已经比较完善，以后加入了更多的令人惊喜的特性。要达到普遍商业应用还有很长的路要走，我们祝福 Mono 这只可爱的小猴子一路走好。
Mono 1.2.6 相对于 1.2.5 的主要改进有以下几点：
Mono 1.2.6 相对于 1.2.5 的主要改进有以下几点：
- ·Native Windows.Forms driver for MacOS X allows Winforms-based applications to run without an X server.
- ·Support for the ASP.NET AJAX APIs and controls.
- ·Support for FastCGI deployments: ASP.NET can now be deployed on a multitude of servers that implement the FastCGI protocol (lighttpd for example) in addition to Apache.
- ·Windows.Forms now supports the WebControl on Windows and Linux using Mozilla.
- ·Runtime will now consume much less memory for 2.0-based applications due to various optimizations in generics support as well as including many new performance improvements and an updated verifier and an implementation of CoreCLR security.
- ·C# compiler is quickly approaching full 3.0 support, most of the basics work right now (except support for System.Query.Expression AST generation).
- ·The QA team ran 910 test cases during 11 test runs.
- ·Over 50 bugs were fixed / backported to the Mono 1.2.6 branch.
- ·Mono 1.2.6 can now be used as an SDK for creating Silverlight 1.1 applications on all platforms. This allows developers to create applications that target Silverlight without requiring a Windows installation.
