Mono Project at Novell: Mono's 2.0 grand release has finally arrived.

See our detailed release notes covering both the 2.0 launch and the changes since Mono 1.9.

Or you can go directly and download Mono 2.0 for your platform.

The release notes has a lot more detailed information. The following struck me as nice, cool, or important:

• C# 3.0 compiler implementation, with full support for LINQ
• Mono.Posix: a library to access Linux and Unix specific functionality from your managed application. With both a low-level interface as well as higher level interfaces

I was hoping to find more than two cool features from the release notes, but I couldn't. Had I been an active user of Mono 1.2, or Visual C#, I probably would find more appealing new features, like Mono.Cecil, Mono.Cairo, Mono.SQLite, or even the System.Drawing 2.0 API.

But life as it is, you don't always have time to learn all the interesting new things.
