• MONO_IOMAP – case insensitivity behaviour for file i/o. (more info)
• MONO_OPTIONS –  options to pass to the mono runtime (e.g. –gc=sgen)

The way to do this is to put these into your Info.plist for you application, under an LSEnvironment dictionary key.  This is mentioned in Apple’s documentation.

Steps:

1. Open your Info.plist in MonoDevelop
2. Add a new top-level entry called “LSEnvironment”
3. Change its type to Dictionary
4. Add a child entry for each environment variable you wish to set

Update: Make sure you do a clean of your project after updating your info.plist, otherwise monodevelop won’t copy the new changes over.

ezFeeds has been in development for about five months, and was born to provide a fully featured Google Reader (news reader) client, opposed to a partial, slow, or read-only variation.

Some of the key goals that were taken into consideration when building ezFeeds:

• Must be FAST, even when you have subscribed to tons of feeds
• Reading must be EASY, which is why there is a ‘Next Unread’ button.  This allows you to read in the same order of your feeds.  Want to read all items chronologically?  Just tap on the Unread folder – it’ll show arrows in the bottom toolbar instead of the Next Unread button.
• Provide FULL synchronization of feeds, folders, and their order (e.g. drag and drop feed order in google reader will sync to ezFeeds and vise-versa)
• Allow users to DISCOVER feeds on the device, with global and user feeds on popular feed sources such as Google Blog Search, Google News, Twitter, eBay, Myspace, Flickr, Youtube, Blogger, del.icio.us, WordPress.com, and even specify a custom URL.

Here’s what it looks like:

There are a few things that didn’t make it into the first release, since they are not needed for a great reading experience, but are coming:

• Shared & Notes (do people really use these anyway?)
• Posting to Facebook, Read It Later, and Instapaper
• Optionally Cache Images for full offline reading
• Remember last position
• Favicons
• Possible iPad / OS X Version
• More yummy tidbits that I’ll share if you’re nice!

I’m not too sure how long it’ll take to be available on the App Store, but I will let everyone know when it is!

Previously, we were using mojoPortal, which is an excellent ASP.NET based CMS, however compatibility with mono was a little lacking.

WordPress was chosen as it provides a huge community, lots of themes and plugins, and works seamlessly with OS X Server. The installation took only about 5 minutes, and was extremely straight forward (this means I didn’t read any documentation).
