+<p>Following LLVM 2.4, VMKit has its first release 0.24 that you can find on
+the <a href="http://llvm.org/releases/">release page</a>. The release includes
+bug fixes, cleanup and new features. The major changes include:</p>
 
+<ul>
+
+<li><p>Support for generics in the .Net virtual machine. This was implemented
+by Tilmann Scheller during his Google Summer of Code project.</li></p>
+<li><p>Initial support for the Mono class libraries.</p></li>
+<li><p>Support for MacOSX/x86, following LLVM's support for exceptions in
+JIT on MacOSX/x86.
+<li><p>A new vmkit driver: a program to run java or .net applications. The
+driver supports llvm command line arguments including the new "-fast" option.
+</p></li>
+<li><p>A new memory allocation scheme in the JVM that makes unloading a
+class loader very fast.</p></li>
+<li><p>VMKit now follows the LLVM Makefile machinery.</p></li>
