The end of the `mono-debugger-mini-wrapper'
As of today, the Mono Debugger is now using the normal `mono' to execute managed code rather than using its own `mono-debugger-mini-wrapper'.
This means that you need a recent SVN version of Mono from either HEAD or the 1-1-13 branch: everything after r55889 is ok.
There are two big advantages of the new setup:
- Packaging
- Since we no longer need to worry about finding the "correct" wrapper, packaging and relocating the debugger is now much easier.
- Testing a different Mono
- You can now use a different Mono to debug your applications.
This can be very helpful if you're trying to find a runtime or JIT bug: you can use a stable version of Mono to run the debugger and debug an application using a newly compiled, unstable one.
The required mini changes are both in HEAD and in the 1-1-13 branch, so these two versions are explicitly compatible with each other - you can, for instance, use the 1.1.13 Mono to run the debugger and use Mono from HEAD in the target application.

Back in cold Germany ....
After two wonderful weeks of vacations in beautiful Guam, I'm finally back in cold Germany. Before I start looking at all these GMCS bugs in bugzilla, here are a few last pictures:
| This is Orote Point, the westernpoint point of the United States (including territories) | |
|
|
| See that little lagoon down there with this beautiful sand beach ? There's a deep and winding footpath climbing down that rock and then, after a short walk through the jungle .... |
|
| .... you get here - to one of the most beautiful beaches on the island |
| We spent the whole afternoon there - swimming, snorkeling, having fun ... | |
