Jb in a nutshell

After having undergone a month of technical difficulties, this blog is back online. Sorry for the turbulences. More technical content to follow. Happy new year!

• cleol: Clean the end of lines of the files passed as arguments. Accept ruby wildcards (such as * or **/*). That will replace the windows style line endings by unix style line endings, but will also remove useless white-spaces.
• clprop: Clean the svn properties of the files passed as arguments. Accept ruby wildcards (such as * or **/*). That will remove the svn:executable properties, and set the svn:eol-style to native to the files.
• svnci: My own script that prompt me my favorite lightweight editor to edit my ChangeLog entries.
• monoport: I've detailed this one in this blog entry. I recently added to it the possibility to get a monoport entry printed to stdout. Typically, it allows me to apply patches directly from monoport:

  monoport -g:4512 | patch -p0
  

  Requires the cute library hpricot.

Yeah, time for a new release of Mono.Cecil.

New since 0.5:

• A lot of work to read obfuscated assemblies,
• Some precious optimizations,
• Improved the Mono.Cecil.Binary layer to read pure native PE binaries,
• Ability to annotate Cecil’s objects,
• Of course fixed a handful of bugs,
• Add a lot or helpers accessors to Cecil’s type, like IsPublic, IsVirtual, Is*,
• Preliminary support for debugging symbols (to be blogged about).

Where to download:

• Mono.Cecil 0.6 Sources (tar.gz)
• Mono.Cecil 0.6 Binary (tar.gz)
• Mono.Cecil 0.6 Sources (zip)
• Mono.Cecil 0.6 Binary (zip)

Thanks to all the folks that contributed patches to this release!

Beloved users, please upgrade.
