Problem description

mono-core
  • atomic fixes from Michael Matz for for s390 and s390x ( bnc #237611 and bxc #80892 )
  • System.Web Source fix #2 (bnc #225179)
  • * HttpRequest.cs: call MapPath on the HttpWorkerRequest so that if FilePath is changed we get the new physical path, not the one of the original request. Fixes bug bxc #80152.
  • Update to 1.2.2 (Fate #301111)
    • Serious bug fix in compiler (anonymous methods)
    • Additional 2.0 APIs implemented for Windows.Forms
    • Removal of many incorrect MonoTODOs and implemented many methods that were throwing not implemented exceptions
  • Changes in 1.2.1
    • Thread.Interrupt is implemented
    • Generics support in Web Services
    • Web Services update for 2.0 api
    • ASP.Net 2.0 updates
    • Several Winforms blockers fixed
    • ADO.Net 2.0 updates
    • Support for more type converters
    • Process launching supports supports open special files in addition to launch programs (ie: xdg-open, gnome-open, or kfmclient)
    • System.Drawing UTF8 to UCS2 conversion fixed
    • 2.0 api updates to X.509 related classes
  • Changes in 1.2
    • Serialization Callbacks
    • Machine-level settings now available in registry
    • Winforms completion
  • Thread safety fixes for rug/zmd (bnc #221277)
  • System.Web Source fix (bnc #225179)
mod_mono
  • Version updates:
    • Update to 1.2.1 (Fate #301111)
      • handle the new configurable umask directive
    • Update 1.1.18
      • fix for autohosting and virtual hosts
    • Update to 1.1.17
      • Added support for X.509 client certificates
    • Update to 1.1.16.1
      • src/mod_mono.c: when using autoapplications, pass all the options that don't have an explicit alias to XXGLOBAL, which is the internal name used for the mod-mono-server instance that will create new applications on demand. Using XXGLOBAL as an identifier is forbidden now.
      • src/mod_mono.c: allow setting MonoDebug when using automatic applications. Before this fix, no mod-mono-server would be started. Fixes bug #78672.
  • fix build with httpd-2.2.3, adding mod_mono-1.1.13.5-configure.dif which fixes usage of CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. Without this patch, the flags were not used during the configure tests at all, and configure would fail to detect the Apache version. It claimed to find Apache 1.3 because the test program didn't compile on 32 bit platforms any more. (It still worked on 64 bit platforms.) Patch from mod_mono 1.1.18.
