Highlights for this release include:
* More complete/stable generics support (now usable in WSA mode too).
       * Support for using generic types with either external type parameters
       (List of int) or internal ones (List of MyClass)
       * Support for consuming generic methods.
       * Generators and Iterators are now generic
       * Support for the new "Type of *" syntax for referencing
generic definitions.
       * Improved type inference on generic types (this is work in progress).
* Fixed bug with multiple symbols on the same line when debugging
boo-generated assemblies.
* Fixed checked/unchecked inconsistencies and added new
"-checked[+/-]" option to booc.
* String handling optimized and generates Gendarme/FXcop-compliant assemblies.
* Automatic stub are now created when not implementing abstract
orinterface methods from base class.
* Verify pipeline is now available on Mono too.
* Lots of other fixes and improvements
