Mono is a platform for running and developing applications based on the ecma/iso standards. mono is an open source effort led by xamarin. mono provides a complete clr (common language runtime) including compiler and runtime, which can produce and execute cil (common intermediate language) bytecode (aka assemblies), and a class library.

this package contains the mono.messaging library for cli 2.0, which provides messaging functionality using different implementations. at this time mono does not provide a system.messaging implementation.
