MONO 3.2 for Windows / Linux - Missing?

Question

Looking for a download to MONO Runtime 3.2 but I just can find this for Mac. See HERE

Are there no releases for Linux/Windows ?

Answer 1

Are there no releases for Linux?

The tarball is all you need to use/install Mono in Linux. If what you want is that your favourite distro imports this version of Mono into its packaging system (e.g.: apt-get), then you would need to ask in the forums, mailing lists or other online resources about that distro.

Are there no releases for Windows?

First, I will ask you another question, are you sure do you really need Mono for Windows? For most use cases, Windows already bundles .NET into the last versions. Furthermore, Mono for Windows is not a top priority platform for the Mono team and may lack features or have worse performance than on Linux/Mac. Therefore Mono for windows is only really useful for certain uncommon scenarios.

If you're really interested in those uncommon use cases, then keep bugging Mono maintainers in their forums, mailing lists or IRC, to remind them to package it (it's not really a priority anymore since this platform is not something they target with their commercial offerings).

UPDATE: A Xamarin employee stated that the installer would be available when version 3.2.3 is released, and they complied with their promise because 3.2.3 has been released and the windows installer is available in the download page.
