* Version.cs (CompareTo, Equals): Make sure the versions for

[mono-project.git] / mcs / class / corlib / System / ChangeLog

2005-02-12  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs (CompareTo, Equals): Make sure the versions for
        generics handle `null'. The non-generics versions now just call
        the regular versions, to reduce code duplication.

        * Boolean.cs (CompareTo): make this really work for generics 

        * Type.cs (GetProperty): Passing new Type [0] is different than
        null. null means `I don't care how many types this has,' while new
        Type [0] means `this must have 0 types.'

2005-02-11 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * corlib.dll.sources: added WindowsConsoleDriver.cs

        * Type.cs: Fix ClassInterface attribute.

Tue Feb 8 19:26:47 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: remove the finalizer from Delegate: this
        is handled internally by the runtime now.

2005-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: provide the Type name when throwing an exception.

2005-02-05 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: lock on the static Hashtable instead of 'this'. Fixes
        bug #72238.

Fri Feb 4 15:46:04 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: provide specialized versions of some methods.

Thu Feb 3 15:15:25 CET 2005 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: provide a managed memcpy and memset method
        for use both in corlib and from the JIT. Implement
        some methods with the managed helpers and remove some icalls.

2005-01-31  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Exception.cs: Added Data property for NET_2_0 (required for new
        unit tests).

        * Console.cs: added more 2.0 methods and implemented some of them.


2005-01-30  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs : (FindSign) IndexOf() is better than creating substring.

2005-01-27  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * BadImageFormatException.cs: Protect the fusion (GAC) log from being
        disclosed unless code has ControlPolicy and ControlEvidence.

2005-01-27  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Exception.cs: Compute stack trace on demand.

2005-01-26  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Removed hack for static class (NET_2_0). Added 
        proper security for FailFast (documented in FDBK20543). Added new
        method IsRunningOnWindows to replace (Platform == 128) as the logic is
        gonna change in the future (Unix is id #4 in NET_2_0).

2005-01-24  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Added CAS security (both declarative and imperative)
        as a test. This shouldn't affect execution unless --security is 
        specified.

2005-01-19  Rafael Teixeira  <rafaelteixeirabr@hotmail.com>
        * Type.cs: Corrected implementation for the Type.FilterNameIgnoreCase
        and Type.FilterName delegates They weren't dealing with the optional '*'
        at the end of the filter mask

2005-01-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Array.cs: Fix a typo in the previous patch.
        
        * Array.cs: Fix some test failures in the generic methods.

        * Array.cs: Implement AsReadOnly.

2005-01-13  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Guid.cs: Fix endian issues (use Mono.Security.BitConverterLE).  Fixes
        #71242

2005-01-11  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Removed Activate and ActivateNewProcess methods. They
        have been removed from 2.0.

2005-01-11  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Boolean.cs Char.cs Single.cs Double.cs: Implement IComparable<T> in
        NET 2.0.

2005-01-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * ApplicationIdentity.cs: Throw ArgumentNullException if name is null.
        Add default culture (neutral) to the name when none is specified.
        * AppDomain.cs: Changed IsDefaultAppDomain (2.0). Is seems that we 
        can't trust Id ?

2005-01-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Reverted last patch for utc as it broke all certificate
        handling and another unit test in DateTime.

2005-01-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Return immediately if useutc is set to true, there
        is no need to do the extra computation (which also happened to
        create a new DateTime using the `use_localtime' constructor, which
        lead to the erroneous date returns when using 'u' or `U'
        formats).   

        Fixes another bug in the regression test suite.

2005-01-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com> 

        * AppDomain.cs: Fix the DefaultDomain property to return the root 
        domain (as it seems that the root's Id isn't always 0).
        * BitConverter.cs: The "special support" for ToString(new byte[0]) is
        only for NET_2_0 - previously this was an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

2005-01-08  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: The - sign inside the "negative" section in
        a multi-format string means `show the sign' only if it is the
        first token, not `copy verbatim'.  In the other sections it means
        `copy-verbatim'.

        This makes things like:  (-34).ToString ("#;-#") show up as "-34"
        instead of "--34".

        The bad news is that this code needs to be rewritten to handle all
        the formatting cases, see bug #71112 for details.

        * Convert.cs (Convert.ToType): Throw an InvalidCastException if
        the conversion is invalid, not ArgumentException, this fixes
        another regression in our test suite.

2005-01-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Add ApplicationIdentity property for 2.0;
        * AppDomainManager.cs: Remove HostRefusedSet support (it does not 
        exists anymore).

2005-01-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * DateTime.cs: Create MaxValue and MinValue using a different constructor to avoid static 
        initialization problems.

2005-01-02  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs: NumberStyles.AllowExponent was supported by the
        Int32.Parse function. From Akira <mei@work.email.ne.jp>. Fixes bug
        70469.

2005-01-01  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Base64FormattingOptions.cs : it was not in System namespace.

2004-12-21  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : If no progress on value string, don't regard as
          matched. This fixes bug #70707.

2004-12-20  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-12-06  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * Exception.cs: Prevent stringifying the type name on the
        ctor. this gets called a few times on every execution to create a
        nullref exception.

2004-12-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Decimal constant support has been merged into GMCS,
        removed the FIXME.

2004-12-06  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-11-29  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * GC.cs : Collect(generation) actually does not throw an exception
          even if generation > MaxGeneration (MS document bug).

2004-11-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Exception.cs: Implement _Exception under NET_2_0.

2004-11-23  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Decimal.cs [BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB]: Use old code for compilers
        without decimal constant support.

2004-11-23  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Decimal.cs: Updated to use compiler decimal constant support.

2004-11-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MonoType.cs: Revert last change since it breaks remoting.

2004-11-18  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MonoType.cs (UnderlyingSystemType): Make this return this as in
        MS.NET. Fixes #56245.

2004-11-17  Carlos Alberto Cortez <carlos@unixmexico.org>

        real. Fixes bug #69055.

2004-10-28  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Rather than == String.Empty, use .Length == 0. It
        is a bit faster (avoids a method call, and the code is less complex).

2004-10-24  Fawad Halim  <fawad@fawad.net>
        * Environment.cs: If an Environment variable value isn't found, leave the trailing % of the reference for further matches.
        Add text between end of current lookup window and next % match if we just got a match, or add all text to the end if there are no further % matches.
        This fixes bug #64995.

2004-10-19  Lluis Sanchez  <lluis@novell.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: Field _identity is not serializable.
        This fixes bug #68567.

2004-10-17  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>

2004-10-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version to 28.

2004-10-08  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Throw an exception when converting null to a
        valuetype. Fixes #67780.

2004-10-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Performance fix. ParseExact() implementation should
          avoid s = s.Substring(1).

2004-10-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : When it it not exact parse, 'Z' is allowed as a suffix
          of m/s/t/z. This fixes bug 66723.

2004-09-30  Geoff Norton  <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Convert.cs: ConvertToBase* was not endian aware.  Implemented EndianSwap

        are returned with proper endianess.

2004-09-23  Martin Garton  <martin@wrasse.demon.co.uk>

        * Base64FormattingOptions.cs: New enum

2004-09-06 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Array.cs (Clear): make this an icall.

        insensitive enironment variables hashtable once we create it.

2004-09-04  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

2004-08-19  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

          allows 12, that should not be accepted (13 is rejected) and
          interpreted as 0. This fixes bug 63376.

2004-08-17  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Fixed Clone so we can use it on versions with only
        major/minor or major/minor/build.

2004-08-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs (MonoType.getFullName): Added `bool full_name'
        argument specifying whether or not to include the type arguments.
        (MonoType.FullName): Don't include the type arguments.

        * AppDomain.cs: Added a new icall, getDomainByID, to get the an 
        AppDomain using it's Id. Completed SetAppDomainPolicy.
        * Environment.cs: Bumped mono_corlib_version to 23.

2004-08-02  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs, TimeSpan.cs, Guid.cs, Version.cs: Implement IComparable<T>.

2004-07-29  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs : GacPath on windows is based on mscorlib.dll, and
          now its location is changed.

2004-07-21  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs: Return the MS.NET 2.0 beta1 runtime version for the
          NET_2_0 profile.
        
2004-07-18  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Ben Maurer implemented all the new generic methods
        here :-)

2004-07-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Implement IComparable<Decimal>.

2004-07-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Byte.cs, Int16.cs, Int32.cs, Int64.cs, SByte.cs, String.cs,

2004-07-13  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * ActivationContext.cs: New class in Fx 2.0. Required for 
        System.Security.Policy.
        * ApplicationIdentity.cs: New class in Fx 2.0. Required for 
        System.Security.Policy.

        System.Security.Policy.

2004-07-12  Geoff Norton <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Patch for bug #61112.  Our DateTime wasn't roundtripping over timezone
          boundaries properly.  This patch checkes ToLocalTime() to see if we're tripping over a boundary
          and will add/subtract the hour if needed

2004-07-07  Geoff Norton <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Monotype.cs: Patch for bug #58844.  Dont throw exceptions right away;
          pass through all the possibly BindingInfo's and keep a bool value as to the type
          of exception we might need to throw;

2004-07-07  Geoff Norton <gnorton@customerdna.com>

        * Patch to fix bug #58973

2004-07-02  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * PlatformID.cs: New 2.0 values.
        
2004-06-25  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@ximian.com>
        
        * Environment.cs: GetFolderPath has new behavior. r=miguel

2004-06-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException if the year is
        bigger than 9999. Fix bug #41845.
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Applied correction from Jon Skeet on
        the "R"eversible format for negative numbers.

2004-06-21  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Make sure to use invariant culture when parsing
        floats stringified with the invariant culture. Patch by Rodrigo
        B. de Oliveira.
        
2004-06-19  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs : Literal string should be kept in the
          output.

2004-06-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Concatenating whitespace removal was not working fine.
          Modified FormatException message (1 cent kindness).

2004-06-18  Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@ximian.com>
        
        * Action.cs, ArraySegment.cs, Comparison.cs, Converter.cs, Predicate.cs:
        new generics classes
        * IComparable.cs: add the new <T> version.
        * EventHandler.cs: new <T> version.
        
2004-06-18  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: The icall can cope with embedded \0 now.

2004-06-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - Added new common pattern "yyyy/M/dZ"
          - empty string should not be compared in _ParseEnum()
          - Use culture independent string comparison in _ParseString()
          - Whitespace removal should be checked after '..' token check (some
            pattern such like es-ES LongDatePattern contains spaces in '..').
          - formats null check should be done (to throw ArgumentNullException)
            in ParseExact().
          - When specified one character format, dates are incorrectly regarded
            as to use invariant culture.

2004-06-18  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * ArgIterator.cs: changed layout to Auto
        * DateTime.cs: changed layout to Auto

2004-06-18  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * DateTime.cs: CRLF to LF

2004-06-17  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed regression in System.Data caused by the recent 
        changes. Adapted (and moved) the code to correct the scale from 
        SqlMoney. Removed unused (and unusable) IsOne and fixed IsZero (where
        scale has no importance).

2004-06-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: In CreateInstance(), use Public|Instance if access binding
          attributes are omitted.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : GetDateTimeFormats(char, IFormatProvider) should also
          check if the format character is valid.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : AddDays(double) rounds the input.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Incorrect maxvalue comparison in ToUniversalTime().
          Fixed ToLocalTime() as well, but it does check range for MinValue.

2004-06-17  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Added overflow check in ToUniversalTime() and
          ToLocalTime(). Fixed bug #60253.

2004-06-16  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Implemented "R" format using Jon Skeet
        source code (with permission). Fix (biggest) part of bug #60110.
        http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/floatingpoint.html

2004-06-15  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed scale after Round (a different scale is correct 
        from a math point of view but affect the string representation of the
        value). Note: other operations also have scale problems!
        * DecimalFormatter.cs: Fixed FormatGeneral to match Fx 1.1 output.
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Fixed ToString which doesn't use banker's
        rounding (which is the rounding provided by Math.Round). This fix bug
        #60111. The code (new Round methods) should be moved elsewhere (as it
        may also be required elsewhere) post Mono 1.0.

2004-06-15  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: added TODO for serialization
        * ExecutionEngineException.cs: added missing serialization ctor
        * InvalidProgramException.cs: added missing serialization ctor
        * MulticastNotSupportedException.cs: added missing serialization ctor
        * ObsoleteAttribute.cs: fixed serialization compatibility with MS.NET
        * Random.cs: fixed serialization compatibility with MS.NET

2004-06-15  Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: removed unused (and non-existing) icall type_is_instance.

2004-06-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: use internalGetHome instead of getting "HOME" as
        that variable may not be defined.

2004-06-14  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Fixed timespan with large values for hours or minutes
        (overflow is only checked for days but can also occurs in hours and
        minutes which uses Int32 when multiplying). The new results match MS
        implementation.

2004-06-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs : Recognize '%' and '\u2030' and replace
          them with matching NumberFormatInfo properties.

2004-06-14  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs : Use IFormatProvider.GetFormat() instead of literal '-'.
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs :
          Use NumberFormatInfo.NegativeSign. This change saves many XSLT test
          failures.
          Format Permille pattern (It is undocumented but actually available,
          and used in xsl:format-number).

2004-06-14  Raja R Harinath  <rharinath@novell.com>

        * Console.cs (Console.Write, Console.WriteLine): Disable __arglist
        version with BOOTSTRAP_WITH_OLDLIB.
        * String.cs (STring.Concat): Likewise.

2004-06-13  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs :
          - Don't format more than 15 fraction digits. Don't report to Pedro
            directly (removing the error message with his concent).
          - When format string starts with '.', it means integral part format 
            is not specified. Ignore '.' characters after the first
            appearance. Fixed bug #59890.
          - 0.0 is formatted only before the third ';' appearance.

2004-06-11  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Added a AddRoundedMilliseconds which use the "old Mono"
        rounding logic which worked for FromOADate (while the newer didn't).
        * TimeSpan.cs: Now throw an OverflowException when the timespan is
        over MaxValue or under MinValue.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs (Write, WriteLine): Implemented the varargs versions.

2004-06-11  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (Concat): Implemented the varargs version.

2004-06-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Hacked the Parse method to allow the runtime C code to
        decode it properly (i.e. matching MS results). Fixed the Round method
        for negative decimal numbers (moved code from Math.cs).
        * Math.cs: Now use Decimal class for Round(Decimal,int). Required to
        fix a bug when rounding a negative decimal.

2004-06-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: set the _principal to null when changing the policy.
        * Console.cs: remove ClsCompliant attribute from a method marked as
        internal and added comment.

2004-06-10  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Delegate.cs: marked protected fields private to match public
        API of MS.NET, marked DynamicInvokeImpl and GetMethodImpl
        protected to fix public API
        * Enum.cs: marked ctor protected to match public API of MS.NET
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: marked DynamicInvokeImpl protected to
        match public API of MS.NET

2004-06-10  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : Added more common patterns.

2004-06-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed banker rounding by calling Math.Round. This won't
        be a performance winner (the actual Math code has a note to wait a
        better Decimal implementation) but it returns the correct results
        (without adding new code in corlib or the runtime). Fix #37744.

2004-06-09  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - A bunch of fixes (patch by Steven Brown). Fraction seconds are 
            now represented as double. Strict token check for 'Z'.
          - Pattern validity check in GetDateTimeFormats(char).
          - Fixed pattern "yyyy/M/d HH:mm:ss".

2004-06-09  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed remainder (and optimized some cases not to call 
        unmanaged code). Simplified divide. Removed workaround for bug #59793.
        Fixed GetHashCode to return different result for X and -X.

2004-06-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - Now re-checked all common format patterns. They should be tried
            with both current culture and invariant culture. Since '/' covers
            '-', removed extraneous patterns. Added more common patterns
            such as "yyyy-MM-dd" and X509Certificate pattern (it is valid
            only after NET_1_1). Commented out 1 character format patterns.
          - The format patterns we should try should not be obtained by
            GetAllDateTimePatterns(). Just use 'd', 'D', 't', 'T', ... (one
            character patterns), to handle UTC correctly. Examined patterns
            are changed, to 1) common patterns with specified (or current)
            culture, 2) common patterns with invariant, 3) The above "one
            character patterns" with specified (or current) culture.
          - When trying to parse some kind of patterns such as RFC1123, 
            always use invariant DateTimeFormatInfo so that they can avoid
            parsing with culture-dependent calendar.
          - Check "GMT" only when doing Parse(). Don't it when ParseExact().
          - Removed extraneous '-' case. It is not special one.
          - When ParseExact(), allow only '/' for '/' pattern character.
          - When Parse(), allow any non-letter & non-number characters.
          - When pattern is not fully parsed, reject that format.
          - Added "exact" parameter to some ParseExact().
          - RFC1123 pattern is (again) now parsed in local time. I regressed
            some problems in previous fix.

2004-06-08  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed cast to integer types to truncate (not round) the
        value.

2004-06-07  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Exception.cs (Source): This can return null.

2004-06-07  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Fixed FromFileTime for negative values. Fixed 
        constructor to limit range of milliseconds from 0,999. Fixed
        ToType method to work for object, string and DateTime.

2004-06-07  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Fixed OLE Automation date conversions: timezone 
        insensitive, wrong exception in FromOADate, handling of Min/Max 
        values, negative doubles where integer part is negative but 
        decimals are positive! Charming format ;-)

2004-06-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Fixed Join in case separator parameter is null.
        * TimeSpan.cs: Cache format errors during parsing and throw 
        FormatException only if there was no overflow.

2004-06-06  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: fixed issue where an empty array was 
        returned when GetCustomAttributes was invoked with null
        attribute type and there was only one result

2004-06-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * Int16.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * Int32.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * Int64.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * SByte.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * UInt16.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * UInt32.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").
        * UInt64.cs: Fixed ToString(String.Empty) to default ("G").

2004-06-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Fixed the convertion of negative integers (byte, short, 
        int and long) into string in a specific base (2, 8, 10 or 16).

2004-06-04  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Math.cs: Fixed IEEERemainder to return -0 (0x8000000000000000) when
        the dividend is negative and the result is 0 (remainder).

2004-06-03  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: Fix the NullReferenceException in Combine(Delegate[]).

2004-06-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Fixed overflow issues when delaing with big (days) time
        spans. Fixed parsing when only days are presents in the string (which
        should be illegal according to the documentation but is supported).

2004-06-01  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Fixed exceptions in FromXXX methods as they are 
        somewhat different from the documentation.

2004-06-01  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Type.cs: added missing attributes on InvokeMember

2004-06-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Flag concat with four arguments internal. 

2004-05-31  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fixed legal case where value is null.
        * Byte.cs: Fixed ToString when format is an empty string (use "G").
        * Guid.cs: Renamed private fields (and changed some to signed) to 
        match MS implementation and allow serialization to work. Fix 
        bug #59113.

2004-05-30  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: adjust milliseconds for fraction specifier ('f').

2004-05-30  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: Remove *again* the version of WriteLine with four
        arguments;  That should *not* be added.  

        Flag it as internal as people migrate their code.

2004-05-29  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Fixed ToSByte(string,IFormatProvider) to throw 
        ArgumentNullException (only case, all other returns 0). Fixed exception
        reporting for hex prefix only strings. Fixed ChangeTo where null could
        be misinterpreted between null and Empty.

2004-05-28  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Fixed integer parsing for special cases (0x, 0X for base
        16), non-base 10 negative numbers ... see new unit tests. Fixed the 
        case when we parse Int64.MinValue (positive doesn't fit a signed long).

2004-05-28  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Increment version number.
        
2004-05-28  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AppDomain.cs (Load): Try loading from assemblyRef.CodeBase if exists.
        Fixes #59189.

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : I reverted my fix by accident :(

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - In ToString(), Don't use culture-dependent daynames to format
            Universal/RFC1123 date/time. Also, use FullDateTimePattern for 'U'.
          - Fixed GetDateTimeFormats () that generated incorrect 'U' value 
            (since the format string is the same as 'F').

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : don't adjust utc value in ToString(). It must output
          the same time value, just adding 'Z' for UTC.

2004-05-28  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : in 'Z' case, remove the 'Z' char from input before
          proceeding.

2004-05-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: InitAppDomainSetup is not needed now.

2004-05-27  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Byte.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.
        * Convert.cs: Convert with a base parameter cannot parse negative 
        string numbers, even "-0".
        * UInt16.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.
        * UInt32.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.
        * UInt64.cs: Fixed parsing for "-0" which is valid for unsigned types.

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : 
          - Added "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss 'GMT'" and "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss 'GMT'"
            to common formats (yes, I know it is nothing more than hack)
          - Fixed some GetDateTimeFormats() that just returned patterns.
          - For InvariantCulture, now try both supported formats and our
            predefined formats.
          - It was accepting incorrectly extraneous characters. That caused
            some UTC/non-UTC bug.
          - RFC1123 string should return universal time. Uncomment again (the
            problem should went away because of the extra characters fix above.

            With some of the changes above, fixed bug #47720.

2004-05-27  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : quick revert 'Z' support for certificate verifications.

2004-05-26  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Removed duplicate condition if LastIndexOf.

2004-05-26  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs :
          - Added "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss" to "compatible patterns".
            (Fixed bug #58938.)
          - As a quick remedy to accept more patterns, Parse() now also tries
            InvariantInfo patterns (this is because we have no more than one
            pattern for each pattern component.)
          - In _DoParse(), 'Z' should not be read as timezone specifier. Some
            culture uses 'Z' as AM/PM designer, and it should be recognized as
            part of the UTCpattern (if it actually UTC pattern for the culture
            contains 'Z').

2004-05-26  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: Fixed issue with AllowMultiple, as MS
        seems to allow multiple attributes with AllowMultiple at
        runtime.

2004-05-26  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Byte.cs: Throw an OverflowException for negative numbers.
        * Convert.cs: Accept 0x and 0X as prefix when parsing base16 strings.
        * Environment.cs: Bumped mono_corlib_version to 20 (rng interface).

2004-05-25  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fixed possible integer overflow.
        * BitConverter.cs: Fixed a possible integer overflow in ToString.
        * Guid.cs: Added an internal method to create a random Guid without
        using CryptoConfig (which is heavy on first use). This is only used
        in S.R.E.ModuleBuilder to speedup MCS compilation.
        * String.cs: Fixed reported exception for PadLeft|Right. Fixed 
        possible integer overflow in methods that takes index and count
        as parameters.

2004-05-25  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * String.cs: Add new Strcpy icalls which take a char array as 
        parameter.

2004-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : added more invariant format patterns. This should
          really fix bug #57656.

2004-05-25 14:14 CET Patrik Torstensson <totte@hiddenpeaks.com>

        * BitConverter.cs (ToBoolean): Return true or false instead
        of unsafe returing byte as bool. Fixes bug #58874.

2004-05-25  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs : In ToString(string, IFormatProvider), use "G" if
          string format argument is null.

2004-05-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Rename of data fields to match those in Microsoft.NET.
          Patch by PAF@design.ru.

2004-05-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: allow double quotes in the formats. Don't set
        next_not_digit to true in presence of single or double quotes. Patch by
        Martin Probst.

2004-05-24  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs (InitAppDomainSetup): This one returns void.

2004-05-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fixed exception when we try to Clear outside bounds.
        * Boolean.cs: Fixed Equals for True!=True (see bugzilla #58874).
        * BitConverter.cs: Fixed negative index and integer overflow in
        To... methods.
        * Buffer.cs: Fixed integer overflow in BlockCopy.

2004-05-22  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Clear can now work on multidimentional arrays.
        * IntPtr.cs: We now only accept 32bits values in the long constructor
        unless we're on a 64 bits machine.
        * UIntPtr.cs: We now only accept 32bits unsigned values in the ulong 
        constructor unless we're on a 64 bits machine.

2004-05-22  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: The file was mostly in DOS endings already, for the
        sake of consistency, converted it all to DOS endings.
        (ToType): When value is null, immediately return null and don't
        ever throw a NullReferenceException. When conversionType is null,
        throw an InvalidCastException. Give a better error message when
        attempting to convert to a DBNull as well.

2004-05-21  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fixed To... methods that needs to trunk the integer part
        of Decimal (and not use the banker's rounding like Convert.To...).
        * Single.cs: Fixed CompareTo and Equals (copied fix from Double) wrt
        to NaN compares (see new unit tests).

2004-05-20  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Added checks for integer overflow for From|ToBase64Char.
        Also fixed the case where wide (16 bits) characters were converted to 
        bytes.

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * ThreadStaticAttribute.cs
        * ContextStaticAttribute.cs
        * FlagsAttribute.cs
        * ObsoleteAttribute.cs : now that Inherited is false by
        default on AttributeUsageAttribute (as it should be) we
        need to explicitly set Inherited to false for those
        attributes should it be be false.

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * AttributeUsageAttribute.cs: Inherited property should be
        true by defaultrs.cs: respect Inherited property, and

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: respect Inherited property, and
        AllowMultiple property of a CustomAttribute. This fixes
        a major issue we had with respect to custom attributes.

2004-05-19  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoType.cs: throw ArgumentNullException when type parameter in
        GetCustomAttributes(Type, bool) is null

2004-05-18  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Buffer.cs: Added checks for null source and destination. Fix failing
        CryptoStream unit test.
        * Guid.cs: Fixed thread-safety issue. Simplified implementation to use
        pseudo-random numbers to generate GUIDs (as per section 3.4 of the 
        spec). This removes the TODO to get the computer MAC address and
        the chances to get a duplicate GUID (across different machines).

2004-05-17  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Only catch expected exceptions, if we get other exceptions
          than OverflowExceptions then something went wrong internally

2004-05-17  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Char.cs: Fix long standing bug with ToLower/ToUpper not being
          culture - sensitive

2004-05-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Buffer.cs: Optimize BlockCopy.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-05-14  Atsushi Enomoto <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * __ComObject.cs : This class is not regarded as CLSCompliant by csc.
          See also bug #58478.

2004-05-14  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: don't throw an exception if dynamic_base has not
        been set. Just return null as MS. Fixes bug #58120.

2004-05-14  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Boolean.cs, Byte.cs, Char.cs, DBNull.cs, DateTime.cs,
          Decimal.cs, Double.cs, Enum.cs, Int16.cs, Int32.cs,
          Int64.cs, IntegerFormatter.cs, SByte.cs, Single.cs,
          String.cs, UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs: Removed
          useless [CLSCompliant (false)]


2004-05-13  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * __ComObject.cs: To please corcompare (no implementation).

2004-05-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-05-13  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environement.cs: Removed two security attributes for CurrentDirectory
        that weren't documented (and anyway we don't support them).

2004-05-11  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Char.cs: Fix exceptions

2004-05-11  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

2004-05-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: GetGacPath return value is resolved at runtime on
        windows.

2004-05-07  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>
 
        * Convert.cs: ToBase64CharArray method was depending on a bug in 
        S.S.C.ToBase64Transform class to work. Added an internal method to 
        provide the same functionality (multiple block processing).

2004-05-06  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Make $HOME the personal directory.

2004-05-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>
 
        * Convert.cs: ToBase64String method was depending on a bug in 
        S.S.C.ToBase64Transform class to work. Added an internal method to

2004-05-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>
 
        * Environment.cs: Completed OSVersion property.
        * Version.cs: Added internal CreateFromString() to "try" to build the
        best version number form the specified string.
 
2004-05-01  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Redid a lot of stuff in TimeSpan from scratch.
          Fixes several potential bugs and makes things way faster.

2004-05-01  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: Formatting changes

2004-04-29 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Activator.cs: change _flags to a const.
        * IntegerFormatter.cs: make tables readonly.

        * Type.cs: NET_2_0 now instead of 1_2. 
        
2004-04-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: implemented GetLogicalDrives.

2004-04-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Applied patch from Atsushi Enomoto that allows Synchronized
        writers to have a `dont close' flag, this fixes 52094

2004-04-29  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs, MonoType.cs: Property.GetGetMethod() does not
        return the method if it is private (it did until now because of a
        bug). Make sure it works as it worked before the fix.
        * Type.cs: Implemented FilterAttribute delegate.

2004-04-28  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Prevent the use of the explicit static constuctor

2004-04-27  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Made functions internal (needed by other patches)

2004-04-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: TODO cleaning.
        * Delegate.cs: GetObjectData should be virtual.
        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Method factorization. I don't want to fix bugs in
          30 methods almost identical.
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: Implemented GetObjectData.
        
2004-04-26  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Things going bump in the night.

2004-04-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (toBase64Transform): Make private.

2004-04-25  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Convert.cs:
        * Decimal.cs:
        * DecimalFormatter.cs:
        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Call invariant Char functions
        * Guid.cs: Call invariant Char and String functions
        * String.cs: Call invariant Char functions

2004-04-25  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * String.cs: Refactored the Invariant ToXXX into its own internal methods
          so they are directly callable within corlib (can prevent early
          construction of CultureInfo, InvariantCulture and related classes)

2004-04-24  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * String.cs: Managed impl. of Invariant parts of ToLower, ToUpper
        * Char.cs: Managed impl. of Invariant parts of ToLower, ToUpper

2004-04-24  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * String.cs: Check for null values

2004-04-23  Peter Bartok <pbartok@novell.com>

        * Environment.cs: GetLogicalDrives now returns "/" instead of null. Gonzalo
          will do a better fix in the future, but this way apps can at least use it.

2004-04-23  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Better support for GetFolderPath (same results as MS 
          on Windows).

2004-04-22  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: Removed TODOs for finished methods.
        * AppDomainSetup.cs: When setting a relative path to ApplicationBase, it
          must be relative to the current directory, not the temp directory.
          Implemented DynamicBase.
        * Convert.cs: No need to create a ToBase64Transform instance at every call
          to ToBase64CharArray.
        * DateTime.cs: Implemented missing methods FromFileTimeUtc and 
          ToFileTimeUtc.
        * Decimal.cs: Implemented FromOACurrency and ToOACurrency.
        * Delegate.cs: Removed class TODO.
        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Use Char.IsLetter and Char.IsDigit instead of ad-hoc
          methods.
        * Type.cs: Removed TODOs for things already implemented.
        
2004-04-21  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs: Implemented culture-dependent ToLower and ToUpper methods.

          to be done for all classes.
        * Environment.cs: Removed TODO.
        * Exception.cs: Changed ToString to use StringBuilder.
        * MonoDummy.cs: Made class internal.
        * UnitySerializationHolder.cs: Added support for modules.

2004-04-16  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

        * DecimalFormatter.cs: Don't append a decimal point after the
          end of a number. ((decimal)1).ToString("P0") should be "100 %", not
          "100. %"

2004-04-09  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * OutOfMemoryException.cs: Removed the call to Locale.GetText from
          this.

2004-04-10  Gert Driesen (drieseng@users.sourceforge.net)

        * MonoDummy.cs: added MonoTODO to make sure we remove this class
          when its no longer needed

2004-04-09  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

        * Convert.cs: Allow + signs in strings for ToInt32, and
          - if it is base 10.

2004-04-08  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Nullable.cs : usingdecl should also be conditional.

2004-04-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Nullable.cs: New file.

2004-04-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs (Type.GetGenericArguments): Make this abstract.

2004-04-07  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Increase corlib version number.
        
2004-04-07  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs:
        (ExpandEnvironmentVariables): on windows, env. vars. are case
        insensitive.

2004-04-06  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Added static to [ThreadStatic] _principal field. 
        Removed [ThreadStatic] for _principalPolicy (not required).

2004-04-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Guid.cs: Flag as Sequential.

2004-04-02  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: More sanity checks in Replace().  Fixes bug 55822.

2004-04-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: Implement ExpandEnvironmentVariables static method.
        Now call the runtime to get the username (fix #56144).

2004-04-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: AssemblyQualifiedName now displays culture, version...
        Fixes bug #56341.

2004-03-29  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: If we fail to open stdin/stdout/stderr, create
        readers with a NullStream.  This can happen if our caller does not
        setup stdin/stoud/stderr file handles.  #56158 exposed this, but
        it will happen elsewhere.

2004-03-29  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: In ToSingle(double), removed checks for Single.MaxValue
        and Single.MinValue. MS.NET don't do it. This fixes bug #56005.
        * Guid.cs: Added support for guid strings in the "N" and "P" formats in
          the constructor. This fixes bug #54019.

2004-03-23  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Made the class thread safe. Had to move some
          internal variables to structures that are moved around methods.
          Factorized some common formatting code into FormatNumberInternal.
          
2004-03-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Allow any character for DateSeparator when parsing,
        except TimeSeparator, a digit or a letter.  Fixes bug 54047.  Also
        deleted the previous fix for 54721, because this covers it too.
        
2004-03-23  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Check the date string for too many digits when
        parsing.  Fixes bugs 53023 and 53025.

2004-03-22  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Use the provider when converting strings to other
        types.

        * DateTime.cs: Add MM-dd-yyyy to the list of standard date parsing
        formats.  Fixes bug 54721.

2004-03-22  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

2004-03-21  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Set precision from number format info
        when it is not specified. This fixes bug #54983.

2004-03-15  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Random.cs: Corrected random value when Next is called with a 
        negative value. Testing indictae that our results aren't exactly the 
        same as MS, we have a +/- 1 (probably rounding errors due to 
        different implementation).

2004-03-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: updated corlib version.

2004-03-15  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

          SByte.cs, Single.cs, UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs: Renamed internal
          field "value" to "m_value", so it is interoperable with MS.NET when 
          serializing and deserializing data. Based on the patch from Daniel
          Keep.

2004-03-10  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: FromBase64 now ignore some characters (tab, LF, CR and
        spaces) which fixed #54939. Changed the way that the length is 
        validated (multiple of 4) because the ignored characters must not be
        included in the count.

2004-03-10  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Char.cs: New managed implementation. Modified patch by Andreas Nahr.
        
2004-02-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Concat() fixed crash when one of the arguments is an object
          whose ToString() method returns null.
        * TypeLoadException.cs: Added some serialization fiels, needed for
          compatibility with MS.NET.

2004-02-23 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * String.cs (Equals): Speed up this method by avoiding Array
         Bounds Checks and by comparing by 32 bit words rather than 16 bit chars.

        This gives between 0x (for 1 char) and >2x (for large strings)
        factor of improvement.

        A big thanks to Miguel, who suggested the integer compares.

2004-02-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: use the binder in GetPropertyImpl.

2004-02-22  Andreas Nahr <ClassDevelopment@A-SoftTech.com>

        * Math.cs: MonoStyled, replaced space with tabs,
          speedup of some methods by avoiding method calls

2004-02-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs : optimized IsSeparator(), IsWhiteSpace() and IsDigit().
          (Moved from InternalCall to Managed code).

2004-02-17  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs (GetConstructors): Renamed the interncall to
        GetConstructors_internal(), made it internal and added a `Type
        reflected_type' argument to it.
        (GetEvents, GetFields): Likewise.
        (GetMethodsByName): Added `Type reflected_type' argument.
        (GetPropertiesByName): Likewise.

2004-02-16  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormater.cs: Allow precision to be up to the number
        of decimals without rounding.
        
2004-02-14  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Delegate.cs (Equals): Do not compare method_ptr, since it might
        point to a trampoline.

2004-02-12  Jackson Harper  <jackson@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: If relative paths are used they should be
        rooted in the temp directory.
        
2004-02-11  Marek Safar  <marek.safar@seznam.cz>

        * Type.cs (FilterNameIgnoreCase_impl): Added extra check for speedup.

2004-02-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AppDomain.cs (Load): Check that assemblyRef.Name is not empty, to
        avoid an assert in the runtime.

2004-02-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Always let a Convert.ChangeType call
        succeed if the source object is already of the destination type.

        Patch by Ian MacLean (ianm@activestate.com).

2004-02-05  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: Implemented SetPrincipalPolicy and SetThreadPrincipal.

2004-02-02  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2004-02-02  Sebastien Pouliot  <sebastien@ximian.ca>

        * DateTime.cs: Corrected support for "Z" in the mask (Parse). This
        fix bug #53461.

2004-01-27  Sebastien Pouliot  <spouliot@videotron.ca>

        * Exception.cs: Changed ToString to remove the \n when no stack trace
        is present (which fixed a unit test for SecurityException). Changed
        all \n to Environment.NewLine.

2004-01-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * ContextBoundObject.cs: Removed TODO.

2004-01-22  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: fixed bug #52075. Days (int) don't rely on TotalDays
        (double), which might round up.

2004-01-19  Jackson Harper <jackson@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Use the default decimal digits count
        if they are not specified. This fixes bug #52927.
        
2004-01-19  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump version number.

2004-01-19  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: Added internal call for IsInstanceOfType. The old implementation
        uses IsAssignableFrom(o.GetType()), which is not always valid for 
        transparent proxies (because GetType will not return the type of the remote
        object if its assembly is not present).

2004-01-18  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

  * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Skip the decimal point if we have an 
    integer mantassa. So: 1E+15, rather than 1.E+15.

2004-01-18  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

        * Array.cs (GetValue/SetValue): Throw NullRef exception like .NET 1.1, 
        even though docs say it should be an ArgumentNull. Two test cases now
  pass. See also nickd's commit of 2003-12-24.

2004-01-16  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Environment.cs: increased corlib version.

2004-01-14  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: Removed attribute cache. Attribute instances can't
        be reused because they could be modified. This fixes bug #52655.

2004-01-12  Patrik Torstensson

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version number due to new StringBuilder
        
        * String.cs: New internal method to support the new StringBuilder that
        uses the string as a buffer (until ToString is called)

2004-01-12  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version number for real this time.
        
        * AppDomain.cs (LoadAssembly): Pass the assembly name as a string to
        the runtime, so it can take into account the Culture etc.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version number.
        
2004-01-12  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: GetMethods renamed to GetMethodsByName. It takes a
        new parameter with the method name and a boolean for ignoring case.
        Removed some string comparisons no longer needed.

2004-01-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: GetProperties renamed to GetPropetiesByName. It takes a
        new parameter with the property name and a boolean for ignoring case.
        Fixes bug #52753.

2004-01-11  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

        * DateTime.cs: Correct processing of formats with multiple '-'s, fixing
        bug 52274.

2004-01-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * AppDomain.cs: Keep track of type resolve and assembly resolve 
        events in progress to prevent infinite recursion.

2004-01-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Console.cs: Test for UTF-8 being present anywhere on the
        string, also do ToUpper instead of ToLower, which will work even
        around the ICU bug with different locales (#52065), and addresses #52101

2004-01-05  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump version.

2003-12-24 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        * Type.cs (IsNotPublic): One would normally assume that
        IsNotPublic == !IsPublic, but this is not the case (note to MS,
        make better names ;-). Fixes #52547, `Type.IsNotPublic not 
        correct for Nested types'

2003-12-24  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@ieee.org>

        * Array.cs (CreateInstance): Throw NullRef exception like .NET 1.1, 
        even though docs say it should be an ArgumentNull. Sent email to MS
        about this "bug".

2003-12-23  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Exception.cs: Several changes to make it compatible with MS.NET (needed
        for remoting interoperability): set a default value for hresult, added 
        initialization of class_name, serialization field RemoteStackTrace must
        be RemoteStackTraceString, added ser. field ExceptionMethod.

        * IndexOutOfRangeException.cs: Added serialization constructor.

2003-12-22  Bernie Solomon  <bernard@ugsolutions.com>

        * Int32 (Parse):
          Int64 (Parse): Fix overflow checking for AllowHexSpecifier

2003-12-20  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MonoType.cs (GetMethodImpl): Only call FindMostDerivedMatch if the
        user supplied no parameter info, but not when the user supplied an
        empty parameter list. This fixes IKVM.

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2003-12-19  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Added Compare shortcut for length==0.

2003-12-17  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Bump corlib version.

2003-12-17  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        empty string.  Fixes bug 52283.

2003-12-16  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs (HasShutdownStarted): Implement.

2003-12-15  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs (HasShutdownStarted): Make this static under NET 1.1.
        
        * Environment.cs: Bump version number.

2003-12-15  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DateTime.cs: don't bail out with that year out of range error on
        stuff like "MM/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss".

2003-12-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Environment.cs: Make it a const instead.
        
        * Environment.cs: Make version field static.

2003-12-10  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Type.cs: Make DefaultBindingFlags protected.

        to make it easier to diagnose problems resulting from a mismatch 
        between the two.

2003-12-08  Patrik Torstensson   <p@rxc.se>

        * Type.cs (GetMethod): Check type arguments within array
        * MonoType.cs (GetMethodImpl): Handle methods with a new slot
        (same signature but different classes (derived level)

2003-12-07  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Type.cs (MakeArrayType): Add argument checking.

2003-12-06  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Don't use CompareInfo for non-culture-sensitive
        IndexOf and LastIndexOf methods.

2003-12-06  Ravindra  <rkumar@novell.com>

        * DateTime.cs: Made Parse(string, IFormatProvider) method to
        use second argument. Fixed bug #51464.

2003-12-04  Martin Baulig  <martin@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs (Type.MakeArrayType): New public method.

2003-12-04  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        (BlockCopy): make the exception thrown helpful.

2003-12-03  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Calling Replace on an empty string returns itself.

2003-12-03  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * MonoType.cs: Get rid of get_type_info, use a separate icall for
        each property instead.

2003-12-02  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        last change.

2003-09-10  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * DoubleFormatter.cs: A few optimizations. Now, only one object
        is created to convert all double numbers.

        * SingleFormatter.cs: A few optimizations. Now, only one object
        is created to convert all float numbers.

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Split the "number type parameters" from
        the "numver value and format parameters". The first ones are in the
        constructor and the others are in a method.

2003-09-09  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * String.cs: fixed bug #47802.

2003-08-21 Ben Maurer  <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>

        using a StringBuilder.

2003-08-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: patch by lb@lb.ods.org that fixes bug #47707.

        here.

2003-07-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * TypeLoadException.cs: removed unused fields. TypeName returns "" if

        * IntPtr.cs (GetObjectData): Mark it as an interface
        implementation, instead of a public method.

          the flags is unnamed, ToString() returns the integer value.

2003-07-22  Jerome Laban <jlaban@wanadoo.fr>

        * Guid.cs: Fixed ToString (), was producing incorrect string.

2003-07-20  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        tests.

2003-07-13  Zoltan Varga  <vargaz@freemail.hu>

        * Type.cs (IsAssignableFrom): Implement this as an icall since the
        runtime already includes the neccessary logic.

2003-07-06  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: remove the "file://" prefix from ApplicationBase

2003-06-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Random.cs: Changed behavior of Random to match MS.NET. When Next is
          called with maxvalue==0 or minvalue==maxvalue, MS.NET internally generates
          a new random number (although it is not needed), while mono did not. 
          As a result, the sequence of random numbers could be different for the
          same seed.

Thu Jun 26 16:06:35 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: use dec_len2 as default precision.

2003-06-26  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

2003-06-26  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: Object must have the Serializable attribute.
        * DateTime.cs: Fixed _DoParse() so it correctly applies the utc offset
          to the resulting date. Also fixed _ToString so now correctly formates the
          UTC offset.

Wed Jun 18 19:22:22 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs: fix race in cache (bug#41841).

Wed Jun 18 18:52:11 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: if the precision is not specified, use
        the default precision for the data type.

Wed Jun 18 18:11:30 CEST 2003 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException in Copy if needed

2003-06-11  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: don't throw nullref when the return type for a property
        is specified and the property doesn't have a get accessor.

2003-06-10  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (CreateInstance): Fixed a typo. It should throw
        ArgumentNullException instead of ArgumentException.

2003-06-09  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Revert the last revert. I fixed it.
        (Sort): Put a try-catch block around qsort, and wrap whatever
        Exception we get into a InvalidOperationException.

2003-06-08 Jackson Harper <jackson@latitudegeo.com>

        * Array.cs: Revert last patch, it broke some other functionality.
                
2003-06-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Throw more exceptions. This fixes the errors we see
        from the Rotor testsuite.

        (CreateInstance): Throw ArgumentNullException when the input are
        null. Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException when bounds + length is
        greater than Int32.MaxValue.
        (LastIndexOf): Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException if index is outside
        the valid range of indices of array.
        (Sort): Throw InvalidOperationException when comparer is null and
        none of the elements in keys implements IComparable.

2003-06-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (CreateInstance): Throw a TypeLoadException if the
        Length of the input array 'lengths' is greater than 255 so that we
        won't see the g_assert that is in mono_array_class_get in class.c.

        This fixes bug #44304.

2003-06-05  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * UnitySerializataionHolder.cs: Cleanups according to class status page

        * Random.cs: New implementation based on Knuth ran3 to fix #43597.
        See http://www.library.cornell.edu/nr/bookcpdf/c7-1.pdf. Commited
        for Ben Maurer after review and testing.

2003-05-28  Ben Maurer <bmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
        
        * Array.cs: Added better argument checking to Array.Sort ()

2003-05-21  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

2003-05-17  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        * FloatingPointFormatter.cs: Fixed little format mismatches.

2003-05-16  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        return at least a directory name (not null).

        * Convert.cs: In ToType, if the destination type is unknown, try to
        cast the value to object (then, the calling method will downcast it
        to the type it wants).

2003-04-30  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs: fixed bug #41522.

        as MS.NET and show a message when something goes wrong with the
        parser of Custom Formats.

2003-04-22  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (ToString):

        * Object.cs ValueType.cs: Make the Object::GetHashCode() and 
        ValueType::Equals() icalls static non-virtual, so they can be called
        by the code in RuntimeHelpers.

2003-04-18  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs (operator ==): Do not crash if the second argument
        is null.  Bug fix submitted by Juan Cri.

2003-04-18  Eduardo Garcia Cebollero <kiwnix@yahoo.es>

        * Array.cs: Deleted the exception in Array.Initialize(), it looks
        like the method do nothing for C#, is still a MonoTODO until
        we find a compiler that uses that.

2003-04-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs (Delegate): Seems like a typo, we were checking the
        a field rather than the argument

2003-04-04  Dick Porter  <dick@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Make operator== and operator!= cope with null
        objects.  Didn't change operator<, operator<=, operator> or
        operator>= because its not meaningful to use those to compare
        against null, and throwing a NullReferenceException is probably
        the best thing to do there anyway.

        Fixes bug 40720.

2003-04-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs: fixed InvalidCastException.

        * MonoType.cs:
        (GetMethodImpl): support BindingFlags.IgnoreCase flag. Fixes bug #40322.

2003-03-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: fixed bug #40123.

2003-03-22  Pedro Martínez Juliá  <yoros@wanadoo.es>

        results than MS.NET. Added simple error recovering, now ToString
        will return a general format if there is any exception in the
        process of formatting. This make the library more robust while the
        formatters are refined.

        * Single.cs:
        * Double.cs: Temporarily reverted the Double and Single ToString()
        change, because it broke nunit.

        * Activator.cs: Since the documentation indicates the method
        either succeeds or throws one of the listed exceptions, we weren't
        expecting that CreateInstance might be returning null.

        For more information on the bug, see http://bugs.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=36109

2002-12-20 Lluis Sanchez Gual <lsg@ctv.es>

2002-11-29  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: undo latest changes. It breaks the build by

2002-07-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: some more intermediate results checking in
        in CreateInstance and CreateInstanceFrom and use GetConstructor and
        Invoke only with Type [] until the other overloaded versions work.

2002-07-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Activator.cs: reformatted. Implemented CreateInstance* methods
        that return ObjectHandle.

        * AppDomain.cs: implemented CreateInstance*AndUnwrap methods.

2002-07-03  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Decimal.cs (Divide): Short cut the case where the dividend is 0 (and
        the divisor is not) and avoid the icall, which seems to have a bug.

2002-07-03  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (CompareTo): Correctly handle the case where the instance
        is NaN. Also return 0 if the values are equal.

2002/07/03  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

2002-06-30  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (CompareTo): Just see which is bigger.  Don't use the
        subtraction trick, it doesn't work when the values have a diference of
        less than one.

        * Single.cs (CompareTo): same

2002-06-27  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * UIntPtr.cs (UIntPtr.Zero): Use an explicit `u' suffix in the
        constructor argument.  [FIXME: The implicit conversion to an
        unsigned integer doesn't work with mcs.]

2002-06-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * DecimalFormatter.cs: Removed MSTEST stuff, use `System',
        not `S = System'.  This file now compiles with mcs.

        * String.cs: Removed the already ifdef-outed __arglist Concat function
        to make it compile with mcs.

2002-06-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

2002-06-21  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Double.cs: Replace the private `enum State' with constants since this
        will avoid some bigger headaches in mcs.

Thu Jun 20 17:51:44 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * TimeSpan.cs: do not pollute the namespace with the
        System.Parser name.

2002-06-18  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * ArgumentException.cs: Use the message given in the constructor when
        accessing the Message property.  Thanks to Dietmar for the help with 
        "base".

2002-06-17  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: GetField is now a InternalCall

2002-06-13  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        sortable format(s), e.g. "2002-02-25"

2002/06/12  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Random.cs (Next): Fix math error.  Return a number within the range.

2002-06-12  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * String.cs (IndexOf): Return -1 if start index is equal to string
        length.

2002-06-10  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToDouble): Remove rounding in ToDouble (float).
        (ToType): Added null field in conversionTable to avoid
        IndexOutOfRangeException. Changed what exceptions we throw to match
        the spec.
        
2002-06-11  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Int64.cs (Parse): Added unique strings to the messages where we throw
        a FormatException. Needed these to debug, so just left them in since
        they might be useful later. Fixed Currency parsing where we weren't
        looking at CurrencyDecimalSeparator, etc.

2002-06-09  Lawrence Pit  <loz@cable.a2000.nl>

        * DateTime.cs: fixes to pass tests M0 to M6:
                if yy pattern then year values >= 30 are in 20th century
                rfc1123 pattern is always in GMT, therefor useutc must be false
        made GetNow() internal static so it can be called from TimeZone.
        * TimeZone.cs: removed dependency on year 2002 from initialization of 
        current timezone.

2002-06-09  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Rearranged what Exceptions we throw to

2002-06-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs (IsDefined): `value' may be of the enum's type itself, it
        doesn't necessarily need to be of the enum's underlying type.

2002/06/07  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * String.cs: Add [Serializable] to class
        * SByte.cs (Parse): Add [CLSCompliant(false)] to all the overloads

2002-06-04  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Recognize the group separator string, but still we
        don't check the format for the proper number of digits between
        separators. Also throw OverflowException when we get Pos or Neg
        Infinity from runtime.

2002-06-03  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToDouble): Fixed ToDouble (byte value).

        * Type.cs: fixed GetTypeCode.

2002-06-02  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToInt16): use Convert.ToInt16 (int) instead of a direct
        cast from an int so that we throw OverFlowException correctly.
        
        (ToInt64): Use a new 64bit version of ConvertToBase.
        
        (ConvertToBase): Add checks for overflow (checks Int32.MinValue
        and Int32.MaxValue).

        (ConvertFromBase64): New 64-bit version of ConvertFromBase.

2002-06-02  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToSByte): Check for special value.
        * Single.cs (Parse): 
        * UInt16.cs (Parse):
        * UInt32.cs (Parse): Throw OverflowException if negative

2002-06-02  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (DBNull): Point it to DBNull.Value.
        (IsDBNull): Instead of checking typecodes, just check to see if
        it's the same as the DBNull field.

2002-06-02  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Convert.cs (ConvertFromBase): Detect bad digits correctly.

        BuildConvertedString.

        This fixes bug 25068.

        (ConvertFromBase): Added additional test for checking if the
        digits are valid. Thanks to Miguel for coming up with this test.

        This fixes bug 25071.
        
2002-05-21  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToType): Rearranged to fit the new layout of
        conversionTable.

        (conversionTable): Rearranged to fit the layout of the
        System.TypeCode enum.

        This should fix bug 25075.
        
2002-05-21  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs (ToString): Fixed the ToString methods. Previously I had
        mixed up the two code paths, one for converting to a specific base
        (this case), another from converting from a foreign base to base10
        (used by ToInt16|32|64 (string, int)). This fixes bug 25068.

        * Convert.cs (ToByte)
        (ToSByte): Fixed bug 25074. Added more bits to ConvertFromBase so
        that we won't confuse FormatException with OverflowException.

2002-05-22  Lawrence Pit  <loz@cable.a2000.nl>

        * Environment.cs: CommandLine missed spaces between arguments.
        Implemented StackTrace. Returning MachineName in UserDomainName

        * Math.cs (Pow): Change icall method name and insert parameter
        checks in for infinities and NaN.

2002-05-13  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Reimplement by cleaning up the string first,
        and then passing to strtof in the mono runtime.

        * Single.cs (Parse): Use the Double implementation and cast to
        float.

        System.Text.UTF8Encoding, not UnicodeEncoding (which is UTF-16) to
        a byte array.

2002-05-17  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: Style changes.

2002-05-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * BitConverter.cs (ToString): Add parameter check for invalid start 
        index.

        * Console.cs: Use AutoFlush on the StreamWriter for stdin and stdout
        now that StreamWriter uses buffering

        * UInt64.cs: removed static fucntions used by Parse and use the ones
        in Int32.cs

2002-05-12  Daniel Morgan <danmorg@sc.rr.com>

        * IServiceProvider.cs: added using System

2002-05-09  Daniel Morgan <danmorg@sc.rr.com>

        * Single.cs: copied ToString() and Parse() methods from 
        Double to Single and modified a tiny bit for Single.  
        There is still a FIXME for Double and Single about
        passing the format and provider info to the icall too.

2002-05-02  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * UInt64.cs (Parse): don't use Char.IsNumber to test for hex digits.
        Don't use a delegate to test for valid digits.

        * Convert.cs: 
        * Math.cs: Added missing CLSCompliant attributes where necessary.
        
2002-04-30  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

2002-04-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Math.cs: fix Floor () and Round (). Closes #23960.

2002-04-27  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Array.cs (IList.Contains): Should throw a RankException if this is 
        called on a Rank > 1 array. Not in the docs, but this is what the 
        MS.NET does.

2002-04-26  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * MissingMemberException.cs: Made the message variable 'protected'
        instead of 'private', so that we can see it in
        MissingMethodException and MissingFieldException.

        * MissingFieldException.cs:
        * MissingMethodException.cs: Added missing (string, string)
        constructor, and also the Message property.

2002-04-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs: Implemented the IConvertible methods.

2002-04-25  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        OverflowException thrown (reported by nickd).

2002-04-22  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * ValueType.cs: Add Serializable attribute.

        * String.cs: ifdef-out out the __arglist Concat function until I
        add support for that to mcs.

2002-04-24      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>

        * AppDomain.cs (GetValue): usage of the correct icall (bug)

Wed Apr 24 21:15:44 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * GC.cs: implement most of the methods as icalls.

2002-04-24  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * DecimalFormatter.cs (ToString): return correct value when the
        decimal number is 0.

2002-04-24      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>
        
        * Type.cs (GetProperty): fixed call syntax (needs an empty array not null)
        * MonoType.cs (GetPropertyImpl) : basic implementation (ignores types, bindingAttr, modifiers)

2002-04-24  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs (Parse): Handle case where there are no digits before the 
        decimal point, such as ".1".

2002-04-23  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * Int64.cs:

2002-04-23      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>

        * String.cs (Split): fixed invalid split of count 0 and 1.
        
2002-04-23      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>
        
        * String.cs (LastIndexOf): fixed argument checking.
        * String.cs (Equals): made internal for performace.

        * String.cs: use internal constructors
        buf fix in Concat.

Thu Apr 18 17:16:15 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: some code speedups and restored GetTypeCode().

2002-04-17      Patrik Torstensson <patrik.torstensson@labs2.com>

        * String.cs: New implementation using internal calls.
        
2002-04-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * DecimalFormatter.cs: Trim off excess null characters from the string
        that decimal2string gives back.

2002-04-16  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * String.cs (SubString): revert my change.  I can't reproduce the
        problem anymore.

2002-04-13  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Attribute.cs: added GetHashCode and Equals.

2002-04-12  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Array.cS: optimize access to elements.

Wed Apr 10 21:20:19 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: make IndexOfAny() use an internalcall.

2002-04-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: 
        * UInt64.cs: fixed error when testing for validity of flags.

2002-04-11  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs: Use an internal call for ToString(). This is just a simple
        implementation to get away from throwing a NotImplementedException.

2002-04-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Int32.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: 
        * UInt64.cs: changed Type.GetType () by typeof (), as suggested by
        lupus.

        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: throw an OverFlowException when parsing a string 
        containing a dot followed by any non '0' number.

2002-04-10  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * Byte.cs:
        * UInt16.cs:
        * UInt32.cs:
        * UInt64.cs: added complex Parse ().

2002-04-09  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * SByte.cs:
        * Int16.cs:
        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs: added complex Parse ().

2002-04-09  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Array.cs (BinarySearch): Add checks on paramters before using them
        and throw exceptions as needed.

        * Enum.cs (Format): Check if [Flags] is applied to enum and convert
        "G" format to "F" if so.

Tue Apr 9 13:12:09 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: return arrays of type Attribute[]
        instead of object[].

2002/04/09  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * String.cs (Substring): Copy only non-null characters to the new
        string.

2002-04-09  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Don't use a format character to indicate a
        custom format was passed in. It was using 'z' to indicate a custom
        format, but really it should throw a format exception if the user
        tries to use "z" as the format string. Now it does.

        * Activator.cs: New File.

2002-04-08  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (ToString): Big ugly fix for the case where [Flags] is
        applied to an enum. Need to handle the different possible integer
        types of an enum somehow.  Can anyone say generics?

Mon Apr  8 06:22:42  2002 Piers Haken <piersh@friskit.com>

        * Convert.cs: switched the To*(object) methods to use
        IConvertible directly instead of calling ChangeType

Sat Apr 6 20:08:41 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * ValueType.cs: make Equals() an internalcall.

Fri Apr 5 15:38:54 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: also look for nested types in FindMembers.
        * MonoType.cs: make GetNestedTypes() an internalcall.

2002-04-05  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (Parse): Handle different underlying types.

2002/04/04 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (IsDefined): Throw exception when type of value to look for
        is not the correct one.  Attempt to have it work with string values
        too, but not sure if the unit tests are getting that far yet.

2002-04-04  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Decimal.cs: Fix a couple of typos.

Wed Apr 3 19:46:00 CEST 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs: the values array is of the enum and not of the underlying
        type. Updates and some bug fixes.
        * MonoType.cs: make the internalcall return FullName instead of the
        assembly qualified name.
        * Type.cs: make ToString () simply return FullName.

2002-04-03  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Type.cs (GetTypeCode): provide some of the implementation for this
        method.  It's still too simplistic to be considered complete.

2002-04-02  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: fixed FieldGetter/FieldSetter signature

2002-04-02  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Environment.cs: add MonoTODO's on parts that should have it.

2002-04-01  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs: added reality checks (check parameters to most methods that
        need them).

2002-03-30  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: added FieldGetter/FieldSetter

2002-03-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: fixed initialization error in static
        constructor.

2002-03-28  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs: added new field to store a trampoline function

2002-03-28  Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: added workaround for bug #22668. First patch to
        make custom format strings work (not fully functional yet).

2002/03/28  Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * IntegerFormatter.cs: Change class from internal to public.  Add
        necessary [CLSCompliant(false)] attributes.

2002-03-27  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * _AppDomain.cs, AppDomain.cs: renamed method GetDate to GetData
        (was a typo)

2002-03-28  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Type.cs: Added MonoTODO tags on members that have FIXME, etc.

2002-03-27  Dan Lewis  <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>

        * Console.cs: Modified to get std handles from MonoIO.
        * Environment.cs: removed PAL dependencies.

2002-03-25  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (System): Removed internal enumeration, because
        bootstrapping the corlib at this point does not support
        enumerations. 

        * IntPtr.cs: Temporary work-around until I fix the assembly
        attributes bug.

2002-03-24  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs (GetValues): According to the docu this is sorted after
        values, not names.

        * String.cs (System): Removed enumeration, because it is pretty
        hard to support enumerations in /nostdlib mode for the core types.

Tue Mar 19 18:18:49 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: move error handling in the catch block.
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: remove == and != operators that were
        removed with the delegate changes (when you add stuff, please do not
        remove existing functionality!).
        * Type.cs: if a property is not found in a type, search for it
        in the parent types, too.

2002-03-18  Dan Lewis <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>
        
        * Math.cs: changed to use icall instead of PAL.

2002-03-18  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Double.cs: added check for NaN (Bug [22082])

2002-03-19  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs (Equals): check for null and throw if it is.
        * Enum.cs (Format): check for null parameters and throw if necessary.
        This method still needs more argument checking.

2002-03-18  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs (Equals): check if Enums are of the same type

2002-03-18  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Double.cs: Explicitly handle comparisons in CompareTo() for
        Positive/Negative Infinity and NaN. Unit Test now passes on Linux.

        * Enum.cs(CompareTo): Check types of values before trying to compare.
        Throw exceptions if types are invalid or don't match.

2002-03-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Add some extra debugging information.

2002-03-15  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Array.cs: Added IList and IEnumerable. 

2002-03-14  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * UInt64.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt16.cs: Mark public parse methods as
        NonCLSCompliant. 

2002-03-14  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Delegate.cs (Equals): also compare method_ptr 
        (GetHashCode): returm method_ptr as hash

2002-03-13  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.n>
        * TimeSpan.cs: removed the use of Custom Numeric Format Strings,
        such as 42.ToString("0000000"), as these are (currently) not implemented
        in System.IntegerFormatter. TimeSpan luckely can do with Standard
        Numeric Format Strings, such as 42.ToString("D7").

2002-03-12  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * FieldAccessException.cs: 
        * MethodAccessException.cs: 
        * PlatformNotSupportedException.cs: Inherit from
        MemberAccessException, not SystemException.

        * ObsoleteAttribute.cs: Made Message and IsError properties
        instead of fields.

Tue Mar 12 19:21:18 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * GC.cs: make SuppressFinalize() a nop.
        * Delegate.cs: fix == operator.

2002-03-13  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Enum.cs: Add IConvertible methods. Cyclic dependancy fixed in the
        runtime that goes with this patch.

2002-03-10  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Int32.cs (Parse): Correctly parse negative numbers.

2002-03-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * String.cs (Split): Really fix it this time. Also adding several new
        testcase to the testsuite.       

2002-03-08  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Optimized: removed duplicate null check, removed
        two duplicate GetLowerBound() calls and one duplicate IsValueType.

Fri Mar 8 18:49:19 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs: commit my hacked GetHashCode(): it's good enough for now.
        * String.cs: use the dumb code for IndexOf(string): this is worth
        15-20 % speedup in mcs compile with mint.

Fri Mar 8 12:45:44 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: revert change to Split() that broke the compiler (hi martin!:-).

2002-03-07  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * String.cs (Join): Throw an ArgumentNullException.
        (LastIndexOf (string,int,int)): This method does a backwards search,
        so startIndex points to the end of value, not to its beginning. Don't
        throw an exception if startIndex equals this.Length. Always return -1
        if startIndex is smaller than the length of value.
        (Replace (string,string)): Replace all occurences of oldValue.
        If newValue is null, all occurences of oldValue are to be removed.
        (Split (char[],int)): Return an empty array if maxCount is zero, throw
        an ArgumentOutOfRangeException if it's less than zero. Return maxValue
        elements, not maxValue+1.

Thu Mar 7 17:16:06 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: make GetEvents() an internal call.
        * MulticastDelegate.cs: copy the passed in array.

2002-03-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Use FastCopy when appropriate and do correct
        exception handling.

2002-03-06  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * CharEnumerator.cs: fixes to CharEnumertor.MoveNext, fixing 
        some of the failures found be new tests (see ChangeLog in 
        Test/System). Comments added to this method, based on
        the representation invariant of this class, that (try to) explain
        why it now should be correct.

2002-03-06  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Int64.cs (Parse): bug fix for max. negative value. 

2002-03-07  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: Add Serializable attribute as the docs say.
        I need to understand what the difference between the attribute and
        the interface is.

2002-03-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Always throw an ArrayTypeMismatchException, not
        an InvalidCastException if the widening conversion failed. See
        testcases #M94-#M96.

        * Array.cs (CopyTo): Bug fix from Ajay Dwivedi, correctly handle
        arrays with non-zero lower bounds. Also adding testcases #F10-#F13
        for this.

        * Array.cs (CopyTo): Reverted my last change, it was incorrect.
        (Copy): Actually allow copying multi-dimensional arrays.

2002-03-05  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs:
        (DBNull) Added the missing field.
        (IsDBNull) Fixed typo.
        (ToByte (string, int)) Implemented.
        (ToString (byte, int)) Implemented.
        (ConvertToBase)
        (BuildConvertedString) internal functions used for converting values to
        a specific base.

        * Int16.cs: 
        * Int32.cs:
        * Int64.cs:
        * Single.cs:
        * UInt16.cs: 
        * UInt32.cs: Implemented the IConvertible interface.    

        * CharEnumerator.cs: Renamed to variables to be clearer and
        changed some of the tests to conform to the 1.0 spec.

2002-03-06  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs (Copy): Calculate absolute array position here and use
        GetValueImpl() and SetValueImpl() with that position. We can now
        copy multi-dimensional arrays.
        (CopyTo): Small bug fix.

2002-03-05  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>

        * Version.cs: CompareTo changed according the LAMESPEC discovered by 
        Nick (See VersionTest.cs).
        * CharEnumerator.cs: fixed two bugs in MoveNext. It had an off-by-one
        error comparing the current position (idx) against the length of the
        string iterated and it set idx to an unrecognized special value (-2)

Tue Mar 5 17:34:14 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * SByte.cs, UInt64.cs: implement IConvertible interface. Nobody wants
        to do this dirty work, but someone has to do it (and I need it to pass
        the "200 sample tests compiled on linux" mark).

2002-03-06  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Attribute.cs
        * DecimalFormatter.cs
        * Delegate.cs
        * Double.cs
        * GC.cs
        * Int16.cs
        * Int32.cs
        * MonoType.cs
        * RuntimeMethodHandle.cs
        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs
        * String.cs
        * Type.cs:
                Add [MonoTODO]'s to places where we currently throw a
                NotImplementedException.

2002-03-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Int16.cs (Parse): do not overflow on max negative value

        * Int32.cs (Parse): do not overflow on max negative value

Mon Mar 4 20:36:05 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: fixed IsClass.
        * MonoType.cs: fixed MemberType, IsPrimitiveImpl, IsPointerImpl,
        IsByRefImpl. Added GetInterfaces().
        * IServiceProvider.cs: compilation fix.

Mon Mar 4 18:37:03 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: allow copying an empty array to an empty array.

Mon Mar 4 17:59:16 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: fixed LastIndexOf (string) to do a bit of argument
        checking.

2002-03-04  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Version.cs: many fixes to failures found by the newly created
        test cases for this class. Specifically, the CompareTo member
        returned wrong values due to the use of Int32.MaxValue as a special
        value indicating an "undefined" version component. Also implemented the
        missing operators (==, <, >, etc.), one missing constructor and
        and some exception throwing.

2002-03-04  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * IServiceProvider.cs: Add missing attribute: ComVisible(false)
        * Attribute.cs: Add missing attributes: Serializable and
        AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All)

Mon Mar 4 11:26:49 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: implemented GetConstructors(), GetFields(),
        GetMethods(), GetProperties().
        * Object.cs: added debugging icall obj_address().
        * Type.cs: fixed the binding flags for some Get* methods.
        Implemented FindMembers() as calls to the specific GetMember
        methods.

2002-03-01  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * BitConverter.cs: fixed one little bug: ToString(s, n, 0) 
        should give an exception for n>=s.Length.

2002-03-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs: More argument checking and bug fixing.

2002-03-01  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * BitConverter.cs: Indentation match

        * AppDomain.cs: Added MonoTODOs to this too.

        * Buffer.cs: Added MonoTODOs to this.

2002-03-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Array.cs: Added argument checking to all methods where it was missing.

2002-03-01  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>

        * BitConverter.cs: Fixed bugs in ToString methods

Fri Mar 1 15:20:00 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MulticastDelegate.cs: implement operators so mcs3 can be used on linux.

2002-03-01  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * BitConverter.cs: Throw ArgumentException like mscorlib, instead of
        ArgumentOutOfRangeException like the docs say.

2002-03-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * Enum.cs (CompareTo): Correctly override this method from IComparable.

        * Console.cs (setIn, setOut, setError): It's called SetIn, SetOut, SetError.

2002-02-28  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * String.cs: This file now passes the testsuite on Linux :-)
        
        * String.cs (Intern, IsInterned): The interncalls are now called _Intern and _IsInterned;
        make them private and provide C# wrappers which do proper argument checking.

        * String.cs (Format): Correctly handle escaped brackets.

        * String.cs (_CompareChar): New internal function which compares two chars.
        (_Compare): Provide an internal compare method which can do all sorts of
        comparision and call it from all the Compare() methods. Also fixed a lot of
        bugs here, this code now actually passes the testsuite.

2002-02-28  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Added the missing methods. The new class status page
        kicks ass, it even found my typos! Woohoo!
        (ConvertFromBase): Moved the Exception throwing in here and
        removed the other occurances so it's all centralized now.
        (ISDBNull): Implemented.
        (GetTypeCode): Implemented.

2002-02-27  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: Guid.ToString("") and Guid.ToString(null) is now understood as Guid.ToString("D") 
        just as in mscorlib. There is (probably) a documentation bug in the MS FrameWork SDK, which
        states that a lacking format should be interpreted as "N".  
        Also added [Serializable] attribute
        * TimeSpan.cs: some formatting and added the [Serializable] attribute

2002-02-26  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * WeakReference.cs: Committed for Ajay Kumar Dwivedi.   

2002-02-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * TimeZone.cs: Use an internal enum rather than magic numbers to access the
        fields of the interncall GetTimeZoneData.

        * DateTime.cs: Implemented Parse and fixed a few bugs.

        * String.cs (TrimStart): Small fix.

2002-02-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * DateTime.cs: ParseExact is now fully functional.

        * String.cs (TrimEnd): Small fix.

2002-02-26  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * TimeSpan.cs: Added method TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds, mysteriously 
        missing for about six months.

Tue Feb 26 14:21:19 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * UInt64.cs: fixed Parse method () to handle some of the NumberStyle flags.

2002-02-26  Martin Baulig  <martin@gnome.org>

        * DateTime.cs: Miguel already committed this, but there was still a
        ChangeLog entry for this missing ....
        We're now reusing functionality from TimeSpan, printing dates is
        fully implemented, currently working on parsing.

        * TimeZone.cs: Fully implemented this. There's a new InternCall in the
        runtime for this.

Fri Feb 22 18:47:08 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoType.cs: disable constructor.
        * Object.cs: make GetType() an internalcall.
        * Type.cs: added correct bindingflags to GetMethods ().
        All such calls should be reviewed to use the correct flags.

Thu Feb 21 19:23:46 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs, MonoType.cs: type_is_subtype_of () changed to include extra
        argument.

Thu Feb 21 16:56:51 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * Type.cs: implemented IsAssignableFrom.

2002-02-21  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: fixed Guid.Guid(string) ctor. Changed format:
        "{0xdddddddd,0xdddd,0xdddd,{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd},{0xdd}}" 
        to "{0xdddddddd,0xdddd,0xdddd,{0xdd,0xdd,0xdd,0xdd,0xdd,0xdd}}" 
        The former is documented by Microsoft. The latter is how they
        actually implemented it in mscorlib:-)

Tue Feb 19 20:34:35 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MonoCustomAttrs.cs: hooks to get the custom attributes from the
        runtime.
        * MonoType.cs: Implemented custom attributes methods.


2002-02-21  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs:

        runtime.
        * MonoType.cs: Implemented custom attributes methods.

2002-02-19  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs (CopyTo): use GetLength() instead of GetUpperBound() 

2002-02-19  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Finished up the missing methods in Convert. Added a
        new private method ConvertFromBase.

2002-02-19  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: impl. IConvertible interface

2002-02-18  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: actual implementation for Guid.Guid(string) Ctor

2002-02-18  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Changed from using Type.GetType (string) to just
        typeof (). Probably will speed things up a bit?         

2002-02-18  Ajay Kumar Dwivedi <AjayKumar.Dwivedi@dresdner-bank.com>

        * Array.cs:         
        1. Fix for GetUpperBound to return correct values
        2. made some Properties virtual
        3. Adds IsFixedSize and IsReadOnly properties.
        4. changes CreateInstance(Type,int[],int[]) to throw Exception
        when third arg is null. InternalCall CreateInstance changed to  
        CreateInstanceImpl
        5. Fixed array.GetUpperBound at a couple of places
        6. IndexOf and LastIndexOf now use Object.Equals instead of "=="
        7. Added two FIXME's in BinarySearch functions.

2002-02-17  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs:  Applied the rest of Ajay's patch for    
        IsDaylightSavingTime. Thanks a lot for the nice explanation of how
        it works!

2002-02-17  Duco Fijma  <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: added stub for Guid(string) ctor

2002-02-17  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * Convert.cs: Near-complete implementation of Convert.cs

        Added all the To* methods taking (object) and
        (object, IFormatProvider) as parameters.

        Added [CLSCompliant (false)] attributes to methods dealing with
        unsigned types.

        Added the missing section on converting to and from DateTime. Only
        6 missing methods, all marked with MonoTODOs. Will tackle them later.           

2002-02-16  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * TimeZone.cs: patch from Ajay Kumar Dwivedi (adwiv@yahoo.com) to
        make IsDaylightSavingTime (DateTime) call 
        IsDaylightSavingTime (DateTime, DaylightTime).  
        
        Added internal class CurrentTimeZone from Ajay. It needs more work
        to fill in the appropriate internal calls.
        
Sat Feb 16 12:41:41 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

          System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator

2002-02-09  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * First version of Guid.NewGuid

2002-02-08  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        UnhandledExceptionEventHandler.cs: added delegates.

Fri Feb 8 18:06:20 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MarshalByRefObject.cs: add ToString () method
        (apparently needed by nunit).
        * _AppDomain.cs: uncomment ToString(): dietmar fixed the bug triggered
        by it in the runtime.

2002-02-08  Dan Lewis <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>
        
        * String.cs (Format): implemented

2002-02-07  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>
        
        * DuplicateWaitObjectException:
        * InvalidCastException:

        * Enum.cs (Parse,  GetHashCode): impl. 

2002-02-05  Duncan Mak  <duncan@ximian.com>

        * DBNull.cs: This is my first crack at the DBNull class. I think I
        actually got most of the IConvertible methods right, but I haven't
        done the research to test whether or not this is the correct
        behavior. IConvertible.ToType () is the most iffy of all, IMHO.

        * DllNotFoundException.cs: Inherits from TypeLoadException, not SystemException.

2002-02-05  Dietmar Maurer  <dietmar@ximian.com>

        * Enum.cs: added more functionality (GetName, ToObject, Equals)

        * BadImageFormatException.cs:
        * Exception.cs:
        * MissingMemberException.cs:
        * TypeLoadException.cs: Added missing bits for serialization.

2002-01-30  Duco Fijma <duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl>
        * Guid.cs: implemented everything but Guid.NewGuid

Tue Jan 29 22:32:36 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * _AppDomain.cs: remove ToString() method: it doesn't seem right 
        to have it in this interface and it screws up the method vtable setup.

2002-01-28  Andrei Zmievski <andrei@php.net>

        * Double.cs: implemented IConvertible interface.

2002-01-28  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

2002-01-23  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * AppDomain.cs (GetAssemblies): Use foreach construct instead of
        manually getting the enumerator.

        (AppDomain.AppDomain): Prime the loaded assemblies with the
        assemblies loaded by the runtime in our behalf.

        * AppDomainSetup.cs: Remove private keyword, that is the default.
        Add a new property DisallowPublisherPolicy.

        * AppDomain.cs (AppDomain.GetAssemblies): Implement.

Tue Jan 22 22:51:48 CET 2002 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * MTAThreadAttribute.cs:
        * ThreadStaticAttribute.cs:
        * LoaderOptimizationAttribute.cs:
        * PlatformNotSupportedException.cs:
        * LoaderOptimization.cs: Added to CVS.

        spec.

        * ContextStaticAttribute.cs: Added [Serializable] attribute and
        put in the missing constructor.

        * Environment.cs: Commented out references to
        EnvironmentPermissionAttribute, because they're just stubbed out
        right now and has no implementation.

2002-01-16  Andrei Zmievski <andrei@php.net>

        * Boolean.cs: implemented IConvertible interface

2002-01-15  Nick Drochak  <ndrochak@gol.com>

        * Byte.cs: Added a missing Parse method. Put in Parse and ToString
        behavior, still need to do the main Parse and ToString.

        * Char.cs: Added a bunch of missing ECMA methods. Commented a
        specification discrepency. Still didn't any unicode stuff, though
        every IsFoo(char c) method has an IsFoo(string, index)
        counterpart, added wrappers for those.
        
        * Convert.cs: Fixed NaN/Inf checking and double/float
        rounding. Added ToType for IConvertible classes

        * Double.cs: Fixed ECMA min and max values. Added IsInfinity /
        IsNaN methods. Changed Inf/NaN internals.

        * IConvertible.cs: Added comments for using
        Convert.ToType. Changed return values to draft base values.

        * Int16.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * Int32.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * Int64.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.
        
        * Single.cs: Put in ECMA epsilon value. Added IsInfinity / IsNaN
        methods. Changed Inf/NaN internals.

        * SByte.cs: Added a missing Parse method. Put in Parse and
        ToString behavior, still need to do the main Parse and ToString.

        * UInt16.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * UInt32.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * UInt64.cs: Added a missing Parse statement. Put in behavior for
        overloaded ToString and Parse methods.

        * Delegate.cs: New file.

        * Enum.cs: New file.

        * Attribute.cs: New file.

        * Type.cs: New file.

        * ParamArrayAttribute.cs: New file.

        * RuntimeTypeHandle.cs: New file.

        * MulticastDelegate.cs: Added.

        * DateTime.cs: Added

        * Delegate.cs: Added

2001-07-18  Michael Lambert <michaellambert@email.com>

        * AttributeTargets.cs: Add.

2001-07-19  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * Char.cs: Made ToUpper and ToLower public methods.

        * String.cs: Lots and lots of compile fixes - just need to write
        DateTime.cs and this should build completely now.

2001-07-19  Bob Smith (bob@thestuff.net)

        * Math.cs: Implemented. 

2001-07-19  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Removed tolower and toupper.

        * Char.cs: Moved ToLower and ToUpper from string to here. 

        * Convert.cs ToByte (float value), ToByte (double value) Use IsNan
        instead of comparing the value to Nan.

2001-07-19  Duco Fijma (duco@lorentz.xs4all.nl)

        * TimeSpan.cs: New implementation.

2001-07-18  Scott Sanders <scott@stonecobra.com>

         * UriFormatExcpetion.cs: Add - 85% complete

2001-07-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs (IndexOf): Slight optimization that allows skipping
        over a few chars here and there. This isn't as good as using my
        Boyer-Moore implementation, however, Boyer-Moore is only really
        good for long strings (I plan on making the code decide which
        string search algorithm it should use on-the-fly at some point).
        (LastIndexOf): Fix to work correctly.
        (BoyerMoore): Took out some unneeded code and fixed an edge-case.

2001-07-16  Michael Lambert <michaellambert@email.com>

        * EventArgs.cs: Add.
        
2001-07-16  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Version.cs: Remove my buggy comment.

2001-07-15  Sean MacIsaac  <macisaac@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Spelling error of IComparable, object's
        MemberwiseClone cannot be overridden.  Made indexer valid for now,
        but not sure what to do about this in the long run.  Seems to be a
        couple bugs in csc.exe having to do with multiple pointer defs in
        the same statement, and returning subclasses of a class in the
        return type of an interface function implementation.  Also moved
        operators inside of class definition.

2001-07-14  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: A tom of compile fixes, although we still don't compile.

        * IConvertible.cs: The To*Int64() methods return *Int64's, not
        *Int32's. Also, it's ToDateTime() not ToDateType().

2001-07-14  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Apparently I needed to at least write stubs for the
        IConvertible interfaces. *sigh*

2001-07-14  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * String.cs: Many logic/other fixes and better usage of the
        features of c#
        (tolower): New convenience method to help condense code.
        (toupper): Another new helper method.
        (Compare): Use the new helper methods.
        (ToLower): use tolower().
        (ToUpper): use toupper().
        (LastIndexOfAny): Implemented.
        (BoyerMoore): New private helper method that implements a modified
        version of the Boyer-Moore search algorithm. Noothing uses it yet
        as I'm not 100% sure it even works properly with unicode strings
        not to mention it uses a huge lookup-table :-)
        (Split): Implemented.

2001-07-13  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * TODO: Added things that need to be finished in System.String

        * String.cs: New source file implementing the System.String class

2001-07-12  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Fix backwards parameters to Array.SetValue()
        throughout.
        (BinarySearch): Fix backward logic surrounding whether to call
        value.CompareTo or comparer.Compare.
        (LastIndexOf): Stop being stupid. I am so not used to strongly
        bounded arrays...
        (Sort): Implement a quicksort.

2001-07-11  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Change all instances of trying to access an array with
        the index operator to calls to GetValue and SetValue, and add
        InternalGetValue and InternalSetValue which are internal calls
        into the runtime. Ew.

2001-07-10  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Array.cs: Implemented everything but Sort().

2001-07-09  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

        * Object.cs (Object::Equals): Object variable name is `o'.

2001-07-06  Joe Shaw  <joe@ximian.com>

        * Int16.cs, Int32.cs, Int64.cs, UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs:
        Implement the IComparable and IFormattable interfaces. Fix a typo
        (publig -> public)

        * ApplicationException.cs, ArgumentException.cs,
        ArgumentNullException.cs, ArgumentOutOfRangeException.cs,
        ArtithmeticException.cs, ArrayTypeMismatchException.cs,
        DivideByZeroException.cs, DuplicateWaitObjectException.cs,

        OutOfMemoryException.cs, OverflowException.cs, RankException.cs,
        StackOverflowException.cs, SystemException.cs,
        TypeInitializationException.cs: Added all of the exceptions
        specified by the language spec. Mmmm... bloat.

2001-07-06  Miguel de Icaza  <miguel@ximian.com>

        * Int64.cs, Int32.cs: Put.  Parsing and ToString missing.  Should
        do a generic routine all of these guys use.

        * Int16.cs: identified missing methods.

        * UInt16.cs, UInt32.cs, UInt64.cs: Add.
