Great job, Alex. As always.

For what it's worth, I don't like the new "mixin" coloring. It's 
colored like a type now, which doesn't make sense to me (in some 
cases it does, aka: mixin Template name). One of the things I 
like about MonoDevelop is that I can color seporate many 
different things: types, attributes, flow control, etc.. but now 
mixin looks like I'm defining a variable, which isn't usually how 
I use mixins.

Also, code completion seems to randomly die in this release. Not 
sure exactly what causes it since it seems to only happens when 
working with larger files and randomly. I think it might be 
something to do with template variadic parameters. If I come 
across something a more concrete, I'll post an bug report.
