MonoTouch 1.4 Released and Mono / C # 4.0 News

Today there were two great news from the world of the open source project Mono. First, the MonoTouch framework has been updated , which allows you to develop applications for the iPhone in C # and the implementation of .NET / Mono. Innovations significant:

* significantly increased application launch speed;
* one third reduced the size of compiled applications;
* debug improvements;
* improved Objective C API binding on MonoTouch API;
* AudioToolbox - a new low-level API for working with audio;
* other minor and not very changes and bugfixes.

The second news concerns the implementation of the C # compiler in Mono. Marek Safar - a developer from the Mono team said in a blog that the C # compiler in Mono now fully supports all the features of C # 4.0, which is good news since the release of Microsoft's .NET 4.0 platform will take place in a few months and the operational implementation of the functions in a free open source project will only increase the popularity of the new platform. Once again, those who predicted Mono’s lag behind .NET were wrong.
