MonoDevelop 2.4 is out

The Mono project is an open source clone of. NET framework Microsoft. Its director, Miguel de Icaza has announced the arrival of his MonoDevelop Development Environment 2.4, consistent with Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Many new features make their entry. Note the arrival of a engine and a new navigation bar and search function autocompletion.

Listed tools, MonoTouch (for developing applications for iPhones) has better support. To be fair, talking about MonoDroid (for developing applications for Android),. Due to its late onset, the tool is still in beta.

The UI has also been reviewed in depth.

Finally, side language, support for Vala has greatly improved. Vala is a programming language compiled. Its syntax is based on that of C # but it requires no runtime environment. Vala is transformed into C code, itself compiled into native machine code.

What can "produce software that requires less memory and run faster. Furthermore, the transition from step C makes it possible to use C libraries with interfaces defined in the files Vapi" (from Wikipedia).

These are just a few innovations from among the long list of improvements to the IDE.
