+ <p>A new tool <tt>gui-compare</tt> can be used to compare API
+ changes between different assemblies or descriptions of
+ APIs. You can use this to track API changes in your libraries
+ to ensure no regressions have occurred accidentally.

+ <p>gui-compare comes with various presets that allow
+ developers to explore the APIs that Mono ship against the

+
+<h3>C# Compiler</h3>
+
+ <p>C# 3.0 is now the default mode of operation for the C#
+ compiler. It is no longer necessary to specify the
+ -langversion:linq command line option.
+
+ <p>Due to this new default, the System.Core.dll assembly is
+ now referenced and this might cause some type ambiguities, in
+ particular with the "Action" type (System.Action from
+ System.Core vs Gtk.Action for example). The fix is to
+ either use fully qualified names for Gtk.Action, or to use
+ namespace aliases.
+
+ <p>There are a couple of known limitations: very complicated
+ LINQ statements still fail to compile, and Expression trees
+ are not completely supported in this release.
+
+ <p>The mcs/gmcs parsers have also been unified, which will
+ help reduce the maintenance burden on the compiler.
