Lluis just released the final version of MonoDevelop 2.6.

This release packs a lot of new features, some of my favorite features in this release are:

Git support. It not only provides the regular source code control commands, it adds full support for the various Git idioms not available in our Subversion addin. Based on Java's JGit engine Ported to C# using db4Object's sharpen tool. Which Lluis updated significantly Logging and Blaming are built into the editor.

Mac support: Our fancy MonoMac support lets you build native Cocoa applications. If you have not jumped into this Steve Jobs Love Fest, you can get started with our built-in templates and our online API documentation. Native File Dialogs! We now use the operating system file dialogs, and we even used our own MonoMac bindings to get this done. You can also check my Mac/iOS-specific blog for more details.

Unified editor for Gtk#, ASP.NET, MonoTouch and MonoDroid: we no longer have to track various forks of MonoDevelop, they have all converged into one tree.

The above is just a taste of the new features in MonoDevelop 2.6. There are many more nominate your own!

Congratulations to the MonoDevelop team on the great job they did!

And I want to thank everyone that contributed code to MonoDevelop, directly or indirectly to make this happen.
