@item Mar 15th, 2004: Async IO lands on Mono.

	Gonzalo has completed the implementation of Async I/O for Mono
	using the kernel aio_* interfaces.  If your operating system supports
	the aio_ POSIX interface, the FileStream methods that
	expose asynchronous methods will use this facility instead of
	emulating it with threads as we have done in the past.

	We had this request come to us from various people in the
	past, and we are now looking for your help to test and debug
	this.

@item Mar 11th, 2004: Mono JIT ported to SPARC.
