- update 3.12.0
* Major performance and memory consumption improvements on SGen.
* Improve the heuristic of the ThreadPool to maximize efficiency and minimize the number of Threads.
* New cert-sync tool automatically syncs Mono’s certificate store against the OS certificate store on Linux
* X86 code now generate pushless code. This is faster on modern CPUs.
* Multiple fixes in the profiler to make statistical sampling reliable and functional without kernel assisted sampling.
* Mono users no longer need to run mozroots to get SSL working.
* Switched to adaptative hill climbing for sizing the pool.
* The supervisor thread now goes into deep sleep when no new jobs are submitted for a while. This should save power on targets running on batteries.
* Reorganized how major heap blocks are manipulated for increased efficiency of the major collection.
* Reduced memory consumption by better sizing of allocation buckets.
* Switched to a simpler heuristics for major heap sizing that is more stable and avoid unexpected spikes.
* Removed the parallel collector, it was an experimental feature that did not provide an effective speedup. It will be brought back in the future with a functioning design.
* Removed the fixed heap configuration, it was an experimental feature that did not deliver enough of a performance improvement.
* Avoid asserts on shutdown when the appdomain unload callbacks are called on the debugger thread during shutdown. Fixes bxc#24342.
* Fix the calculation of the epilog size for EH info. Fixes bxc#24577.
* Fix a class initialization race which happens if a class initializer initializes a got slot before it finishes running. Fixes bxc#23242.
* Fix OP_LOCALLOC on arm so it correctly adjusts sp with the param area size even if the size is large. Fixes bxc#24221.
* Disable the extension of i8/i16 arguments to i32 on arm64, since the ios calling convention passes them differently than i32. Fixes bxc#22800.
* Use NULLIFY_INS () to nullify instructions and use MONO_INST_NEW to create phi node instructions to avoid asserts in the spill pass. Fixes bxc#24006.
* Rewrite the way direct calls are made between llvm methods. Previously all calls were made to plt entries and the plt entry symbols were aliased to point to the corresponding method if the method was directly callable using the .set assembler directive. This doesn’t seem to work with newer LLVM/CLANG versions, so do this completely on the LLVM side using Value::replaceAllUsesWith (). Fixes bxc#23976.
* Make process handles non-shared. Fixes bxc#23423.
* Fix the return of vtypes containing a single fp member from pinvoke methods on OS X/x86. Fixes bxc#23813.
* Fix an SRE assert. Fixes bxc#19039.
* Implement 5dbf97e66057f8626c53fcea30f1988d6627e5a2 for calls made from NEWOBJ too. Fixes bxc#23557.

* Add an option to make debugger invokes virtual. Part of the fix for #23385.
* Allow renaming of threadpool threads. Fixes bxc#23206.
* Fix the unregistration of our exception handler on Windows. Fixes bxc#23221.
* Make calls from gshared to gsharedvt sharable methods indirect since otherwise at runtime we might find an instantiation and we cannot patch the call, leading to performance problems. Fixes bxc#23021.
* Allow the SIZEOF opcode in gsharedvt code if it doesn’t reference a gsharedvt type. Fixes bxc#22711.
* Fix mono_marshal_free_ccw (). Fixes bxc#22414.
* Fixes DbEnumerator current property to clone read data. Fixes bxc#24452

* Implement MonoGenericClass:GetCustomAttributes () for created types. Fixes bxc#23769.
* Improved Json deserialization of floating-point numbers. When DataContractJsonSerializer was created from type object, deserialization of floating.point numbers was not possible. Fixes 21583.
* Test Json deserialization of a floating-point number as object. Covers bxc#21583.
* Rss20ItemFormatter.ReadFrom now sets Id when guid is PermaLink. Fixes bxc#23262.

* Added optional serialization based on ShouldSerialize{V}. SerializationCodeGenerator and XmlSerializationWriterInterpreter will no longer serialize an attribute named {V} if its object has a method named ShouldSerialize{V}() that returns false. {V}Specified now is also checked to be true before serializating the attribute even if it is a property that is not settable. Fixes bxc#1852.
* GMT DateTimeOffset is now properly parsed. Fixes bxc#22851. GMT date formats set useutc to true, so now useutc is checked to init DateTimeOffset with a zero offset.
* Improved CalendricalCalculations fixed_from_dmy methods. Fixes bxc#21930. In some cases fixed_from_dmy is used with the month parameter greater than the number of months of that year. Year is now incremented until month parameter is valid.
* Enumerate all subdirectories including the first one. Fixes bxc#22857
* Encode ContentDisposition name. Fixes bxc#18422
* When needed serialized objects are now implicitly converted. Fixes bxc#20403.
* Fix ClientWebSocket.ReceiveAsync() with small buffer; bxc#22704.

* Make SendAsync state free to handle recursive calls. Fixes bxc#22724
* Actually fix #22179 to allow concurrent requests.

* A pointer-type may be used as the type of a volatile field. Fixes bxc#23770
* Correctly identify constant switch section when value match is not section start. Fixes bxc#23475
* Check for true/false user operators on unwrapped nullable type. Fixes bxc#23199
* More tweaks to conditional tokenizer. Fixes bxc#23319
* Populate inherited constraints member cache from types not only base types. Fixes bxc#23017

- Rebased patches and submitted to upstream
- Removed ARM compatibility hacks https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/1211
+ mono-arm-cpuinfo-v5.patch
+ mono-arm-cpuinfo-v7.patch
+ mono-arm-vfp.patch
- Update to 3.6.0
+ Runtime performance counters have been integrated into the profiler allowing the performance counter information to be surfaced to profiling tools and in particular Xamarin’s upcoming profiler.
+ The profiler now produces backtraces for statistical mode. The profiler’s tracing mode now works on ARM.
+ The debugger now support line and column ranges. pdb2mdb supports it. Note: the rest of our toolchain still needs to be updated.
+ The debugger now supports changing the current line in the top frame.
+ Lots of bugfixes and performance improvements on the profiler.
+ The debugger now support reading simple properties without calling their getter, this is done by having a lightweight IL interpreter for small pieces of code. This allows more properties to be inspected while the process is completely stopped and without having to temporarily resume execution of the target to execute the property code.
+ Added buffered response mode to improve network efficiency on high latency links such as USB.
+ The GC bridge got a lot of performance work. There are now two new modes that can significantly improve some workloads.
+ Multiple http stack improvements: some leaks in the stack have been fixed, as well as solving some long-standing bugs involving asynchronous operations and proxies. We have introduced a more comprehensive test harness to ensure that those bugs do not surface again.
+ System.IO.Compression is now implemented
+ System.Security.Claims is now implemented. It resides in the System assembly (existed before in the Identity stack, but now we track the new home from the .NET 4.5 API).
+ Reworked locking to drop a hot lock in method lookup.
+ Use fine grained locking instead of a big hot lock.
+ Better hashing of some runtime internal items to avoid some corner-case slowdowns with generics.
+ The profiler is now able to produces backtraces in statistical mode.
+ Added periodical flushing that should help interactive users. This means that the profiling will send data over the profiling even if the application is not currently sending data (this is there to support the upcoming new profiler UI).
+ It now collects and reports performance counter information. See mprof-report’s man page.
+ Fixed the handling of the volatile. CIL prefix.
+ We now distribute IKVM’s ikdasm tool. This is a reliable disassembler that does not have the limitation of monodis of requiring a complete set of assemblies that are compatible to disassemble. This will disassemble even files that do not have their dependencies available.
+ Optimized EqualityComparer for more types.
+ Our msbuild implementation can now build Project K and Roslyn
+ Optimized EqualityComparer for more types.

+ [jit] Make ABCREM really remove bounds checks, not just when running with -v -v -v -v.
+ [llvm] Use i64*/i32* as the LLVM type of objrefs instead of i64/i32, the basicaa LLVM pass cannot see through the inttoptr casts we were emitting before loads.
+ [llvm] Make some types more precise to decrease the number of int<->ptr conversions generated.

- Update to 2.0 (preview 2)
* Runtime: Performance
* The performance of operations on decimals has significally improved.
* The performance of locking (Monitor.Enter/Monitor.Exit) is significally improved.
* The memory usage of the runtime is reduced, especially when using generics.
* Many race conditions and threading problems were fixed, improving reliability.
* Math.Min/Math.Max and some forms of Interlocked.CompareExhange (CAS) are now implemented using fast inline code on x86/amd64.
* There is now a MONO_DEBUG=dont-free-domains option that improves the performance of ASP.NET-based applications.
* Runtime: Features
* Some progress has been made on the Winx64 port [Bill Holmes, Jonathan Chambers]
* The runtime is now built using the dolt libtool replacement (http://dolt.freedesktop.org/) this speeds up runtime compilations by about 30%.
* The runtime build process is now less verbose on some platforms, similar to the way the linux kernel is built. To turn it off, use the --enable-quiet-build=no argument to configure, or pass the V=1 argument to make.
* There is now a --debug=casts command line option to the runtime which turns on the reporting of better InvalidCastException message details.
* The mono_method_get_unmanaged_thunk () function has been implemented for developers embedding Mono which simplifies calling managed methods from unmanaged code.
* C# Compiler
* The compiler now support expression trees (turning expressions into an AST at compile time when the type of a parameter is a System.Query.Expression). This completes the C# 3.0 support.
* Over 60 reported bugs in the compiler were fixed and many of the internals have been cleaned up. Extensive refactoring and hardening of the C# 2.0 and 3.0 support are now better integrated.
* A major rewrite of the anonymous method/lambda support in the internals of the compiler now optimizes the resulting code, and fixes several bugs in this area.
* The compiler is now dual licensed under the MIT X11 and the GNU GPL version 2 (only).
* The compiler now supports #pragma checksum for use with ASP.NET debugging and #line hidden, as well as flagging more compiler-generated code properly (to avoid the debugger single-stepping into those bits).
* LINQ
* LINQ and LINQ to XML are now complete, support for expression trees is now available as well as the backend to support expression tree compilation.
* LINQ to Dataset has also been implemented.
* Performance Counters Implementation
* Mono now has a performance counters implementation that can be used to monitor various statistics of Mono processes. To access this API you use the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter classes.
* Big Arrays
* Mono now supports 64-bit indexed arrays on 64-bit systems. Although this is permitted by the ECMA standard, this today is a unique feature of Mono as .NET on Windows does not support 64-bit array indexes. This code was developed by Luis Ortiz at Interactive Supercomputing and integrated by Rodrigo Kumpera.
* This feature is useful for developers that needs to manipulate very large data sets with C# arrays.
* To use this feature, you must configure Mono with --enable-big-arrays.
