fiffilinus writes “The year 2003 starts with a feature-loaded new version of SharpDevelop, the open-source IDE for.NET.” For starters, the forms designer[1] has been reworked and now supports events and custom controls. New kids on the block are the Ctrl+W (Code AutoInsert[2]) and Ctrl+Q (XML Quick Doc[3]) features (in general, we recommend that you take the Feature Tour[4]!). There are also news on the help front: we are proud to announce to be able to integrate the.NET Framework SDK help and DirectX 9 (if installed) help into the Help Scout. In an attempt to kick-start Mono porting[5], the SharpDevelop core has been split out into a separate assembly.

In other news, the SharpDevelop team brings you the book “Dissecting a C# Application: Inside SharpDevelopâ€[6]. This books helps you and us: you learn about SharpDevelop – we get financial support for our project.

6) Mono Porting of SharpDevelop

Now that #develop is nearing version 1.0, we decided that it is time to start a formal discussion of the effort to port #develop over to Linux. To this end, we set up a mailing list with the support of the friendly people at the Mono project. If you are interested in actively working on the port, feel free to join the list:

http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/sd-mono-p ort

The starting point is that we first of all need to port the core and get it running under Linux. When you look at the sources of #develop 0.94, you will see that we took steps towards a full modularization of the project to facilitate the porting effort (and make things more maintainable). So if you are interested in an IDE working across platforms, sign up!
