Well asp.net in Mono was pretty much rewritten from the ground up between 1.1.8 and 1.1.9, with a goal of supporting large user base sites, they also chose to rewrite a lot (if not all) of the controls from scratch. They spent a lot of time on it, and were very excited, and decided that since they wrote all these fun unit tests that hey, everything was hunky dory lets land this in the trunk and then ship off a new release and sing it's glories. But they neglected to really fully test all the controls and all the functionality, and users like Joe spent time (they shouldn't have had to spend) digging around and reporting silly errors that they had made. All they had to was say..."Hey we've worked really hard on this, to make it better for you! We're really excited, in fact we want you to test the crap out of this thing, we know inevitably there will be bugs, but here's a beta release of 1.1.9 please give it a go and lets us know what's wrong before we go gold." Instead Mono versioning is quickly resembling Linux kernel versions 1.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x I'm excited about Mono too guys, but we just need to slow down and get's some better testing done before we declare shite gold. < / rant>
