Do you know a relatively consistent way of building MD 4.0 from scratch and having it 'installed' on one's machine, so with a launcher on the desktop?

Like make install, whereas I never tried out where the difference is between a normal and an install make..

Not sure I know what you mean. You can just create a custom monodevelop.desktop and point to your binary.

I don't know, but MonoDevelop 4.0 was just on the Arch Repos yesterday :)

Gotta hand it to the MD devs, they really did an excellent job with MD 4.0
The UI is slick and straight-forward
The C# code-completion is much better
The new Sublime-inspired colors are completely sexy
And overall, the performance feels improved in every way.

Mono-D is running good so far! Thanks for your work.

Yep, I'm also glad it's gotten a new UI that feels more modern. Can't even await the first bug fix release that shall come up in a couple of days :)

I did a quick test of Xamarin Studio with Mono-D, in general everything seems to work better and faster. I'll give a more a throughout testing later.

Good job.
