Seguindo o roadmap estabelecido foi lançado o Mono na sua versão Beta 1.1.14. Tratas-se da primeira versão Beta em direcção à versão 1.2.

Citando Miguel de Icaza [1] [2]:

With this beta version, we’ve solved an important issue by making it easier to translate the Microsoft user interfaces to Linux, an important contribution in increasing the number of client-side Linux applications
[…]
Now feature complete, Mono has matured to the point that we believe the migration from ASP.NET and Windows.Forms to Linux is easier than ever before and gives developers access to all the added benefits of Linux. Open to everyone, our beta program gives developers an opportunity to test the latest version and share their feedback.
