[Mono-osx] [ANN] mcocoa 0.7 and mobjc 0.8

[Martin Smith]

Hello Jesse,

Thanks for all your great work on these libraries... we use them and
love them.  They've saved us a ton of time.

Out of curiosity, have you tried (or do you know if anyone has tried)
to use your libraries with objective-c 2.0 garbage collection enabled?
I've done some thinking about what it would take to get it to work,
and it seems theoretically possible.

Thanks!
Martin

Together these libraries allow you to write Cocoa applications using Mono. Unlike most other libraries mobjc properly handles exceptions arising in both managed and native code.
