Boo 0.7 was released by Rodrigo B. de Oliveira. Boo is a statically 
typed programming language for .NET/Mono with a python inspired syntax 
and a special focus on language and compiler extensibility.

Boo is free and open source (MIT/BSD license).

The source and binaries for Boo are available from http://boo.codehaus.org/

Boo 0.7 adds support for by reference parameters, a whitespace-agnostic 
parser, the one's complement operator, and has numerous bug fixes. Boo 
0.7 was also made compatible with .NET 2.0 beta (as well as .NET 1.1 and 
Mono 1.1.9), although boo does not yet consume or generate generics classes.

There are numerous new and updated boo addins for IDEs now available: 
for SharpDevelop 1.1 and 2.0, Eclipse, MonoDevelop, and two IDEs 
developed in boo called Boodle and Boox.
