Mono is back! Mono 6.14.0 released!

The first major version of Mono has been released after more than five years of no release. The WineHQ project has taken over the development of the .NET Framework version of Mono back on August 2024 after a fork has been made back in February 2024 under the project’s GitLab instance. This major version is under 6.14.0 and is available to download now.

The release changelogs states that Mono finally has native support for macOS with ARM64 processors, which makes your developer experience when using such machines improved. In addition to that, there have been several improvements regarding System.Windows.Forms for Mono GUI applications to fix resource leaks, to re-implement clipboard and drag-and-drop functionalities, and to improve stability on X11.

This release has also improved support for generated COM interfaces for apps that use them. Mono should no longer hang when the process is being exited in some common cases. In addition to that, Mono should no longer experience many bugs and many build warnings.

For Gregorian users, Mono finally has support for the Gregorian language, which means that you can now use Mono in your native language to improve your user experience.
