Rotor 2.0 is Out ( Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure 2.0 )

Rotor 2.0 is out.

“The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is the ECMA standard that describes the core of the .NET Framework world. The Shared Source CLI is a compressed archive of the source code to a working implementation of the ECMA CLI and the ECMA C# language specification.

Features

The Shared Source CLI archive contains the following technologies in source code form:

  • An implementation of the runtime for the Common Language Infrastructure (ECMA-335).
  • Compilers that work with the Shared Source CLI for C# (ECMA-334) and JScript.
  • Development tools for working with the Shared Source CLI such as assembler/disassemblers (ilasm, ildasm), a debugger (cordbg), metadata introspection (metainfo), and other utilities.
  • The Platform Adaptation Layer (PAL) used to port the Shared Source CLI from Windows XP to other platforms.
  • Build environment tools (nmake, build, and others).
  • Test suites used to verify the implementation.
  • A rich set of sample code and tools for working with the Shared Source CLI.


New in this Release

  • Full support for Generics.
  • New C# 2.0 features like Anonymous Methods, Anonymous Delegates and Generics
  • BCL additions.
  • Lightweight Code Generation (LCG).
  • Stub-based dispatch.
  • Numerous bug fixes.“
