The official release will be at the end of this week. The version
currently out there from the Novell preview pages is what will be
released all barring something catastrophic happening
Just as a heads-up: I'm seeing strange build problems on x86-64:
it is
not even possible to rebuild the mono package for rawhide and F13. I'm
debugging the problem with dgilmore, mmcgrath and nirik and it looks
like that the build machines with RHEL6 can't successfully build mono
anymore since mcs.exe just gets stuck waiting for a futex.
I've not seen anything reported on BZ over this. If it's mcs that's
borking, it'll be the 1.1 stuff which is causing the issue. Can a simple
winform/gtksharp test case targeting 2.0 not be generated and built
using gmcs to see if the problem is mcs or something else?
I'll keep you updated.
Please do.

But this will only be important once we updated to mono 2.8, correct?
Correct. I think that'll be a Christmas present though ;-)
