Mono's TLS 1.2 Update

by Miguel de Icaza

Just wanted to close the chapter on Mono's TLS 1.2 support which I blogged about more than a year ago.

At the time, I shared the plans that we had for upgrading the support for TLS 1.2.

We released that code in Mono 4.8.0 in February of 2017 which used the BoringSSL stack on Linux and Apple's TLS stack on Xamarin.{Mac,iOS,tvOS,watchOS}.

In Mono 5.0.0 we extracted the TLS support from the Xamarin codebase into the general Mono codebase and it became available as part of the Mono.framework distribution as well as becoming the default.
