[Mono-list] unicode support with glib2.0

[Dietmar Maurer]

Hi everyone,

I have just committed some patches which adds full unicode support to
the class lib and the mono runtime. All System.Text classes are now
fully functional. To achieve this we switched over to glib-1.3.12, so
you have to install the newest glib if you want to compile mono:

ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3/glib-1.3.12.tar.gz

You also need pkgconfig:

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig

Unfortunately we do not have binary packages of glib-1.3.12 (and
pkgconfig, libiconv) for Windows, so we are still looking for a
volunteer who build such packages. Anyone interested?
