SharpDevelop Reports 3.0 Beta
SharpDevelop Reports (SDR) redesign has been progressing well over the past year. Its designer is now based on the Windows Forms Designer infrastructure, expressions have been integrated and the architecture in general improved for the planned reverse-integration into the main SharpDevelop branch.
We’d like to ask you to give it a try even if reporting isn’t high on your development agenda. Each and every bug report / feature request helps us deliver a great reporting solution as part of SharpDevelop!
Details about the release can be found on Peter’s blog:

SharpDevelop 3.1.1 Tech Preview
Almost immediately after SharpDevelop 3.1 was released, IronPython 2.6 RC went live. In order to provide our IronPython user base with access to this version, we decided to release a tech preview of 3.1.1 which besides IP 2.6 support also sports auto-indenting:

Initial support for IronRuby has been posted by Matt Ward to his blog:

As you will remember, IronPython support was also incubated this way. Expect to see support in a shipping version of SharpDevelop in the future!
