Free Software for Webservices and for C# Programming

The DotGNU project aims to be for webservices and for C# programswhat GNU/Linux is rapidly becoming for desktop and server applications:the industry leader and provider ofFree Softwaresolutions. DotGNU currently consists of three main development projects (further components will be added over time): DotGNU Portable.NET, an implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), more commonly known as ".NET", includes everything that you need to compile and run C# and C applications that use the base class libraries, XML, and Systems.Windows.Forms. Currently supported CPUs: x86, ppc, arm, parisc, s390, ia64, alpha, mips, sparc. Supported operating systems: GNU/Linux (on PCs, Sparc, iPAQ, Sharp Zaurus, PlayStation 2, Xbox,...), *BSD, Cygwin/Mingw32, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX. [Intro] [Download] [Install] phpGroupWare, a multi-user web-based GroupWare suite, which also serves to provide a good collection of webservice components, all of which can be accessed through XML-RPC so that you can easily integrate them into webservice applications of your own. The DGEE webservice server is also moving forward nicely. [Intro] [Download] [Install] Major motivations for being involved in DotGNU include: A desire to prevent Microsoft from achieving their stated goal "that the era of 'open computing,' the free exchange of digital information that has defined the personal computer industry, is ending". Read the quotation in context and learn how the Free Software movement works to prevent this disaster. The contribution of the DotGNU project might turn out to be important. A technical interest in webservices, bytecode systems, and compiler construction. A business strategy of using DotGNU, and contributing to DotGNU. DotGNU is part of GNU and thereby protected from coming under the control of any single company.

Feb 02-23-2007: Dotgnu in "Real Life"(TM)

Despite what this scarcely maintained webpage might suggest, interesting things are afoot in dotgnu developer land. We've finally managed to catch a glimpse of DotGNU in actionfrom the Trumpf labs. Take a closer look at their laser appliance control panel, which is a Windows.Forms application which uses a touch-screeninterface. The appliance and dotgnu was recently featured in the Elektronik magazine issue 03/2007 (in German).

Aug 08-21-2006: Libjit on Alpha

As part of the Google Summer of Code project, tcort has been hacking away at the libjit port to alpha. As the SoC was ending yesterday, tcort showed the basic JIT samplesworking on alpha, including on-demand compilation and execution of functions. There is a lot more work left in Alpha land and tcort has said that he plansto continue working on it. Take a look at his blog post and the screenshot.If you're interested in helping, take a look at his Alpha porting guide first.

Aug 08-19-2006: Libjt runs Windows.Forms applications

Over the last few months, libjit has made progress in leaps and bounds.The current CVS HEAD of libjit, along with the corresponding pnet,can run GUI Windows.Forms programs in a pure JIT mode on x86.Actually, it has been functional for a while now.

December 05-12-2004: Video clip of DotGNU running on Encore Simputer

DotGNU Portable.NET has been ported to theEncore Simputer,a handheld computer based on on Intel's StrongARM CPU (a RISCmicroprocessor designed for embedded applications), within 72hours after the release of Encore's port of the GNU/Linuxdevelopment tools for this platform at the "Linux Bangalore/2004"conference. Conference organiser Atul Chitnissaid,''I threw the challenge as a joke, the bet being a cup of coffee. Gopalborrowed a PC at the conference, and finally an Encore Simputer, and came to meon the third day, saying that I now owed him a cup of coffee. It took a fewseconds before the enormity of that statement hit me.''Here's a video clip.

October 30-10-2004: DotGNU Portable.NET 0.6.10 released!

May 29-5-2004: DotGNU Portable.NET 0.6.6 released!

Even though Rhys was on "sabbatical" away from Portable.NETduring this release cycle (he has been working on libjit),major progress has been made in many areas, including inparticular threading, Winforms, System.Xml, ml-pnet, DCOPand serialization.The full release announcement ishere.Here are some screenshots:Portable Studio IDE, MyXaml, Photo Tool (wx.NET), KDE DCOP Support, MDI and FileDialogs, Gtk-Sharp, Svg Rendering, XHTML Rendering .

May 13-5-2004: libjit-0.0.2 has been released!

Rhys has packaged up the current state of the libjit tree into alibjit0.0.2 release.Libjit is now at the state where primary testing and bug fixing can begin. We initially need test cases that cover all of the functions in "jit-insn.h".The easiest way to write a test case is to write a small program in the "Dynamic Pascal" language that exercises the feature in question. Then place it into the "libjit/tests" directory. The "libjit/tests/README" file contains more information on how to do this. A couple of test cases are already provided that demonstrate the concept.

April 27-4-2004: libjit-0.0.0f has been released!

The libjitlibrary implements Just-In-Time compilation functionality. Unlike other JIT's, this one is designed to be independent of any particular virtual machine bytecode format or language. The hope is that Free Software projects can get a leg-up on proprietary VM vendors by using this library rather than spending large amounts of time writing their own JIT from scratch.This JIT is also designed to be portable to multiple architectures. If you run libjit on a machine for which a native code generator is not yet available, then libjit will fall back to interpreting the code. This way, you don't need to write your own interpreter for your bytecode format if you don't want to.libjit is independent of pnet (that's one of the main points!) but we'lleventually modify pnet to use it for JIT'ing.In the newly released version 0.0.0f, tutorials 1 to 4 now work correctlyusing the interpreted back end, which should allow people to experiment withreal examples now. The x86 and ARM back-ends should follow in the next fewdays.A mailing listfor libjit-specific discussions has been set up.

March 13-3-2004: DotGNU Portable.NET 0.6.4 released

Portable.NET 0.6.4 and Treecc 0.3.0 have been released. The big change thiscycle is the C compiler, which has now reached the point of being useful. Wenow need lots of volunteers to help flesh out the C library, pnetC, to includeall of the usual libc features. There have also been a lot of bug fixes andperformance improvements in System.Windows.Forms, thanks to Neil Cawse. AndRichard Baumann has completely rewritten the System.Xml parser, fixing manylong-standing issues with the XML library.

March 6-3-2004: C Compiler: Significant Progress and Call For Volunteers

The new C compiler type system has been checked in. Type layout isnow totally dynamic; the IL binary will automatically adapt itselfto the runtime engine it is running on. This means that DotGNU isbringing true "write once, run anywhere" functionality to C,running on top of standard CLR implementations. Unlike Microsoft'sC compiler, whose output will only run on i386-based Windowssystems, ours will run portable ANSI C code on any platform thathas a CLR, be it 32-bit or 64-bit, little-endian or big. Simple examples of C programs can be compiled to IL now, andvolunteers are needed to work on the standard C library so thatmore programs and libraries can be compiled. Our eventual goal isto bring a large body of Free Software libraries and programs tothe CLI environment, vastly increasing the range of functionalitybeyond the small number of libraries currently defined for C#.

Four DotGNU'ers have made it to LCA2004 in Adelaide, Australia.A group photo is here.From the left, we have Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch), Rhys Weatherley (rhysw), Chris Smith (cds), and Dave Hall (skwashd, who wishes to remain anonymous for reasons unknown).

January 13-1-2004: website update

All official GNU websites (which are on www.gnu.org or tightly synchronizedwith www.gnu.org, where in the example of DotGNU, our website is athttp://www.gnu.org/projects/dotgnu/)were in hiatus between mid-November 2003 and January 2004 due to asecurity breach at an important server of the Free Software Foundation,and the resulting need to set up a much more secure system. The newsystem is available now, although it seems to have a bug whichprevents the www.gnu.org version of the DotGNU website from beingupdated. Since the DotGNU project has important news to share, and I don'thave much hope of this project-specific bug being treated with priority (it mayhave to do with DotGNU being under /projects onwww.gnu.org and not under /software like almosteverything else), I'm now updating dotgnu.org without waiting forthe savannah webcvs bug to be fixed.

November 6-11-2003: DotGNU Snake!

Support for the upcoming "Whidbey" System.Console routines has been added to Portable.NET, and there is a simple "Snake" game that demonstrates how to use it. A screenshot is here

The release announcement for the DotGNU 0.1 CD-ROM release has been posted.

November 2-11-2003: Embedding X applications in Xsharp

It is now possible to embed any X application as a child widget within an Xsharp application. The pnetlib CVS tree includes "XClockEmbed.cs" as an example of doing this for "xclock", and thisscreenshot shows both "gedit" (a GNOME app) and "kcalc" (a KDE app) runningas two children of the same Xsharp main window. This is important because thenext version of WinForms will have a HTML web browser control widget, andwe will want to embed an existing third-part Free Software web browser, andnot write a web browser from scratch in C#.
