MonoDoc in Win32
I am about to unplug and dive deep into the preparations for the upcoming Plano .NET User Group meeting (March 2, 2005). That means getting my eBay Mac ready (yes, Geoff, that one >:-S ).
However, I have one last update on the recent developments on Mono releases for Win32 and some of the work that has been going on with Gecko# and the Mozilla Gecko Rendering Engine (GRE).
I now have a new installer for the GRE and a new Mono 1.1.4 installer at Novell Forge that contains an experimental version of MonoDoc. Both the documentation as well as the MonoDoc internals are mostly derived from MonoDoc 1.0.5. Miguel de Icaza had pointed out that 1.0.6 is available but I did not get around to using that version this weekend.
Even if you decide to go without the GRE/Gecko# portion of MonoDoc you can still benefit from the Web version of the documentation that is now configured to run from your local machine.
I also created a quick and dirty tarball that has all of my Mono 1.1.4 Win32 monodoc directory contents so I could just copy it and run it on my SuSe 9.2 x86_64 machine to test for compatibility. The MonoDoc Gecko# Win32 browser.exe Linux screen shot that I am providing below came from that test.

Daniel Morgan will soon be blogging again on his blog's new home. I so look forward to this, since Daniel's work was one of the original inspirations for me to look into Mono!
I got a letter from Paquito that made me sob a little. At the same time it gave me a lot of hope for what the future could hold for us if we are so fortunate to have him comeback from Iraq.
