Latest Mono release brings .NET on Linux closer
The Mono project has issued a new release aimed at taking the software out of the development environment and onto production systems. Release 1.1.10 contains tweaks such as auto-configuration and the ability to work with virtual hosts.
Mono is designed to allow .NET code to run on non-Windows systems such as Unix and Linux. Despite the system's 1.0 release last year, it has been hampered by significant limitations that have prevented it from being used in production environments.
One problem was with mod_mono, the Apache module for providing ASP.NET support. "Historically [mod_mono has] been difficult to configure, and it required system administrators to manually register all the directories that contained an ASP.NET application. This was troublesome for many and also stopped mod_mono from being adopted for multi-user systems," said project developers in release notes.
