We just pushed a new refresh
of MonoMac.
This release contains:
- New complete bindings: QuartzComposer, CoreWlan,
PdfKit, ImageKit and Addresbook.
- AppKit: new classes: NSBezierPath, NSGradient;
convenience methods for NSColor, NSTableView,
NSMenuItem, and NSPasteboard.
- CoreImage's CIVector and support in AppKit for
CoreImage.
- WebKit indexers and support for reporting user
decisions.
In our shared core with MOnoTouch, these are the changes:
- CoreGraphics: Support for transparency layers.
- Foundation: API helpers to make NSIndexSet
more pleasant to use; new methods to control the
NSRunLoop; NSUrlProtocol and NSUrlProtocolClient
classes.

code and convenience methods to pull constants from
shared libraries.
- KeyChain: expose new methods for common operations
(managing internet passwords)
- CoreAnimation: bound a few missing constants.

Many new samples are now included with MonoTouch. Kenneth
has contributed various ported samples from the CoreAnimation
book exercising the API, fixing it, and providing many samples
for developers to get started. We now ship 32 samples
covering a wide range of Mac APIs.

Additionally, the first MonoMac app has hit the Mac
