Jb in a nutshell

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.

From http://www.mono-project.com/Contributing:

If you have looked at Microsoft’s implementation of .NET or their shared source code, you will not be able to contribute to Mono.

Today, I had an amazing experience.

Today, I’ve patched our implementation of System.Object::ToString (). Do you realize that every time you’ll use ToString in Mono you’ll be executing a line I actually wrote? That’s simply amazing. I felt like I was literally modifying the blueprints of the known universe.

Sadly, you’ll most probably never notice it.

That’s life for ya`.

I moved back to Lyon.
