+ mono-arm-cpuinfo-v5.patch
+ mono-arm-cpuinfo-v7.patch
+ mono-arm-vfp.patch
- Update to 3.6.0
+ Runtime performance counters have been integrated into the profiler allowing the performance counter information to be surfaced to profiling tools and in particular Xamarin’s upcoming profiler.
+ The profiler now produces backtraces for statistical mode. The profiler’s tracing mode now works on ARM.
+ The debugger now support line and column ranges. pdb2mdb supports it. Note: the rest of our toolchain still needs to be updated.
+ The debugger now supports changing the current line in the top frame.
+ Lots of bugfixes and performance improvements on the profiler.
+ The debugger now support reading simple properties without calling their getter, this is done by having a lightweight IL interpreter for small pieces of code. This allows more properties to be inspected while the process is completely stopped and without having to temporarily resume execution of the target to execute the property code.
+ Added buffered response mode to improve network efficiency on high latency links such as USB.
+ The GC bridge got a lot of performance work. There are now two new modes that can significantly improve some workloads.
+ Multiple http stack improvements: some leaks in the stack have been fixed, as well as solving some long-standing bugs involving asynchronous operations and proxies. We have introduced a more comprehensive test harness to ensure that those bugs do not surface again.
+ System.IO.Compression is now implemented
+ System.Security.Claims is now implemented. It resides in the System assembly (existed before in the Identity stack, but now we track the new home from the .NET 4.5 API).
+ Reworked locking to drop a hot lock in method lookup.
+ Use fine grained locking instead of a big hot lock.
+ Better hashing of some runtime internal items to avoid some corner-case slowdowns with generics.
+ The profiler is now able to produces backtraces in statistical mode.
+ Added periodical flushing that should help interactive users. This means that the profiling will send data over the profiling even if the application is not currently sending data (this is there to support the upcoming new profiler UI).
+ It now collects and reports performance counter information. See mprof-report’s man page.
+ Fixed the handling of the volatile. CIL prefix.
+ We now distribute IKVM’s ikdasm tool. This is a reliable disassembler that does not have the limitation of monodis of requiring a complete set of assemblies that are compatible to disassemble. This will disassemble even files that do not have their dependencies available.
+ Optimized EqualityComparer for more types.
+ Our msbuild implementation can now build Project K and Roslyn
+ Optimized EqualityComparer for more types.
+ [mcs] Flow analysis of nested binary expressions inside anonymous methods was missing on left/right reset.
+ [mcs] Fix betterness logic for default vs params parameters.
