I guess the non-reply means "no thanks" on both of those offers?

The Mono 3.6 Releases Notes page was created about a week ago:

    http://www.mono-project.com/Release_Notes_Mono_3.6

Xamarin.iOS-7.2.6 which was released about a week ago states "Mono
runtime/BCL updated to 3.6":

    http://developer.xamarin.com/releases/ios/xamarin.ios_7/xamarin.ios_7.2/

As of yesterday the Mono Project downloads page is showing Mono 3.6 links:

    http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

Damien notes ...

    They did not tag the HEAD of the branch, but an older commit!  But we
    already had a set of RPMs based on that, so no rebuild was necessary.
    I have updated MonoTizen's gh-pages to point to the matching binaries:
    2d7113a..9f8394f  gh-pages -> gh-pages

So can we consider Mono 3.6 to be released?    Will there be a release
announcement today?

I will update the http://monotizen.com page to include links to the Tizen
RPMs, and make my own announcement.


Cheers,
Bob Summerwill
