Mono 3.6.0 发布，此版本从上一个版本开始，总共提交了 878 个commits。自2014 年 3 月 10 日开始，共有66 位贡献者参与开发； 其中有22位首次提交的贡献值，他们修复了 112 个 bug，具体请看《Mono 3.6发布，支持在Mac系统使用Nuget》。 Mono的官方网站也进行了更新，界面清新。其中在下载页面只有OSX下的框架是最新的，其他平台的包还在测试中，可以通过源码安装，也可以通过官方的持续集成包进行安装，可参考文档 Continuous Integration packages。

Linux 平台包分两个发行版系列： Debian 系（支持 Debian 7+, Ubuntu 11.04+, Mint 11+, Elementary 0.2+ 等）和 Red Hat（支持CentOS 7+, Mageia 3+, Fedora 19+, openSUSE 12.3+等）。

下面介绍CentOS 7上安装最新的Mono 3.8.1:

1、添加Mono的 包库源：

把Mono Project public Jenkins GPG signing  导入系统：

wget http://jenkins.mono-project.com/repo/xamarin.gpg

rpm --import xamarin.gpg

yum-config-manager --add-repo http://jenkins.mono-project.com/repo/centos/

2、通过包管理器查找mono-snapshot找到可以安装最新的包

yum search mono-snapshot

assemblies (git commit 6986ed5)mono-snapshot-common.noarch : Common helper tools for Mono snapshot packagesmono-snapshot-latest.noarch : Mono runtime snapshot - latest version metapackage

mono-snapshot-XXXXXXXXX 表示特定版本的包, mono-snapshot-latest 是最新版本的包，安装 mono-snapshot-latest，包管理器可以把包更新到最新. 所有的安装包里都带了一个工具mono-snapshot

[root@localhost ~]# mono-snapshot
This script will help you to set up your environment to use a
snapshot package of Mono. To use it, run:

        . mono-snapshot APP/VER

You have the following possible combinations of APP/VER:

        mono/20140816130953

Calling APP without specifying VER will load the latest version

我们看到系统里安装了一个版本20140816130953，

3、yum -y install mono-snapshot-latest

[root@localhost src]# yum -y install mono-snapshot-latest已加载插件：fastestmirror, langpacksLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirrors.grandcloud.cn * extras: mirrors.pubyun.com * rpmforge: mirrors.digipower.vn * updates: mirrors.pubyun.com正在解决依赖关系--> 正在检查事务---> 软件包 mono-snapshot-latest.noarch.0.20140816130953-0 将被 安装--> 正在处理依赖关系 mono-snapshot-20140816130953，它被软件包 mono-snapshot-latest-20140816130953-0.noarch 需要--> 正在检查事务---> 软件包 mono-snapshot-20140816130953.x86_64.0.20140816130953-0 将被 安装--> 正在处理依赖关系 mono-snapshot-common，它被软件包 mono-snapshot-20140816130953-20140816130953-0.x86_64 需要--> 正在处理依赖关系 mono-snapshot-20140816130953-assemblies，它被软件包 mono-snapshot-20140816130953-20140816130953-0.x86_64 需要--> 正在检查事务---> 软件包 mono-snapshot-20140816130953-assemblies.noarch.0.20140816130953-0 将被 安装---> 软件包 mono-snapshot-common.noarch.0.00000010-0 将被 安装……作为依赖被安装:  mono-snapshot-20140816130953.x86_64 0:20140816130953-0     mono-snapshot-20140816130953-assemblies.noarch 0:20140816130953-0     mono-snapshot-common.noarch 0:00000010-0使用mono-snapshot 工具看下我们安装好的Mono的最新版本是3.8.1：

[root@localhost ~]# . mono-snapshot mono[mono-20140816130953][root@localhost ~]# mono --versionMono JIT compiler version 3.8.1 (tarball Sat Aug 16 16:20:35 EDT 2014)Copyright (C) 2002-2014 Novell, Inc, Xamarin Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com        TLS:           __thread        SIGSEGV:       altstack        Notifications: epoll        Architecture:  amd64        Disabled:      none        Misc:          softdebug        LLVM:          supported, not enabled.

4、让Jexus 使用最新的Mono 
修改Jexus脚本把最新的mono 路径加入进去，如下图
<style type="text/css">.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre{	font-size: small;	color: black;	font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace;	background-color: #ffffff;	/*white-space: pre;*/}.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }.csharpcode .alt {	background-color: #f4f4f4;	width: 100%;	margin: 0em;}.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }</style>

[mono-20140816130953][root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/jexus/[mono-20140816130953][root@localhost jexus]# vi jws[mono-20140816130953][root@localhost jexus]# service jws restartRestarting jws (via systemctl):                            [  确定  ][mono-20140816130953][root@localhost jexus]#

将Jexus 添加为系统服务的脚本参见《Centos 7.0 安装Mono 3.4 和 Jexus 5.6》。
