Mono 3.4.0 is a culmination of 825 commits since the last release. This is the work of 55 contributors since Mid-January 2014 and includes a number of feature, stability, and performance improvements. 92 bugs were fixed in this release.

Revamped HttpWebRequest/ServicePoint stack

  • Should properly reuse connections.
  • Uses the specified Idle times.
  • NTLM support has been improved.
  • SSL/TLS operations on via async APIs are now implemented using async patterns internally to greatly alleviate Thread Pool abuse.

Network stack

  • Now allows developers to control which cipher suites to use with TLS/SSL.

ARM

  • Emit shorter floating point operations when possible
  • Hard float support: Mono now should work on Linux distributions which uses a hard float (armhf) ABI, like the Raspberry PI.

Notes: Homogeneous floating point aggregates are not yet supported on armhf.

Documentation

  • Updated documentation stubs to the 4.5 .NET API.

mono-api-html

  • Now supports regular expressions when specifying members to ignore (e.g. mono-api-html -i 'INSCopying$').

Breaking changes

  • mkbundle on Mac OS X now must always link against the Objective-C Runtime (-lobjc, however, it is recommended to link against the Foundation framework as well (-framework Foundation).
