This is the first release of Mono that includes the self-hosting Visual Basic environment. This is a preview of the Basic support, we will be releasing this officially at a later date.

The source code is available on a separate download (mono-basic package).

The environment includes Rolf Bjarne's Visual Basic 8 compiler written in Visual Basic 8, and Mainsoft's Visual Basic runtime for 2.0. The compiler only targets the 2.0 framework API, the runtime supports both 1.0 and 2.0 profiles.
