 * Most *Permission and *PermissionAttribute classes are now
 implemented. Most MSDN library samples are now working correctly
 (unless they use non-implemented features). 
 
 * Added dependency on #62358 "MCS doesn't encode SecurityAttributes
 properly"

+** Status update **
+
+Mono 1.1.4 supports the --security option to enable the security manager.
+
+What's supported
+- Policy resolution - including RequestMinimum, RequestOptional and
+RequestRefuse.
+- Declarative/Imperative demands;
+- Declarative stack modifiers (Assert, Deny and PermitOnly);
+
+What's not (yet) supported
+- LinkDemand (jit time) and it's special cases (icalls, pinvoke, APTC);
+- InheritanceDemand (load time);
+- Imperative stack modifiers (Assert, Deny and PermitOnly);
+- RequestMinimum is only evaluated at policy resolution - not at
+assembly load time;
+- Stack propagation for Thread, Async ...;
+- Cross-AppDomain support;
+
+Note: Although the CAS infrastructure is in place, the class libraries
+have not yet been audited and properly tagged for CAS use, this work
+is just starting. Some of this work will not be visible until the
+audit is complete.
