This article provides a basic knowledge of Eclipse Mono Integration and Nant, which are the most active C# and .NET toolkits available for Eclipse. You will also learn how both Emonic and Nant can help build .NET applications in Eclipse and how to migrate and existing C# project into Eclipse.

Chicken 3.2.0 (Default branch)
Chicken is a Scheme compiler that translates most of R5RS Scheme into relatively portable C. It supports fully general tail-call recursion, first-class continuations, and has a very flexible and efficient interface to C and C++. Chicken implements several extensions to the Scheme language: lightweight threads, pattern matching macros, dynamic loading of compiled code, and various object-oriented paradigms, such as TinyCLOS, Meroon, Prometheus, and others. The library system includes hundreds of convenient modules for practical use.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
Two new units, srfi-69 and data-structures, have been factored out from unit extras. Lexicographic version comparison in chicken-setup has been eliminated, so egg version dependencies are handled properly. file-copy and file-remove have been added to unit utils.
pdfposter 0.3 (Default branch)
pdfposter allows you to scale and tile PDF
images/pages to print on multiple pages. It works
much like ‘poster’ does for Postscript files, but
working with PDF, since sometimes poster does not
like files converted from PDF.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
This release adds an option –scale for scaling by factor. It adds an option –version for show a program’s version number. A man page and README have been added.

OpenBSD 4.3 Released
Theo de Raadt has lifted the veil off OpenBSD 4.3. “We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.3. This is our 23nd release on CD-ROM (and 24rd via FTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD’s record of more than ten years with only two remote holes in the default install.” Boasting as always, but when it’s justified, arrogance is a virtue.
New SymphonyOne distro plays a different tune
After several years of development, SymphonyOS this month released SymphonyOne 2008.1, the first stable version of its distribution. When SymphonyOS first emerged three years ago, it offered a Linux desktop experience unlike any ever seen before by structuring the computer desktop to function more like a real-life desk instead of just another system folder. Featuring the Mezzo desktop environment, Symphony simplifies the desktop concept for users. This release brings a new level of stability to the design, making it a viable alternative to KDE, GNOME, or Fluxbox.
