Just merged what may be the largest PR in #cslanet history - Stephan added NRT support throughout much of the codebase!

Obviously this is a breaking change, and so will be part of version 10.

It is also a big improvement to the code.

cslanet @cslanet.bsky.social · Mar 7

We've pushed #cslanet version 7.0.7. Normally v7 would be too old for such a thing, but it is the last version that supports #xamarin and a community member submitted a fix to an issue that was blocking them from working, so it seemed wise to do the update.

cslanet @cslanet.bsky.social · Feb 17

We're excited to share that #cslanet version 9.0.0 is online!

This is a big release, though with limited breaking changes. Tons of enhancements, optimizations, and bug fixes. And the most contributors of any release to date

cslanet @cslanet.bsky.social · Jan 2

So close to a #cslanet v9 release - except it turns out that the #dotnet #aot stuff required by #dotnetmaui now has quite the cascade effect in the code, so we're working through those issues before releasing 9.0. Some of the fixes may require subtle breaking changes.

Uno Platform Live Coding: Looking at language qualifiers for resources files

cslanet @cslanet.bsky.social · Dec 17

Most GitHub special files can be located in the .github directory so they don't clutter the repo root directory.

It turns out that the _license_ file is not one of them. Apparently, it needs to be in the root repo directory to work.

Versioning strategy for UI packages · MarimerLLC csla · Discussion #4349

cslanet @cslanet.bsky.social · Nov 25

Given that #dotnetmaui 8 will go out of support in May 2025, months before #dotnet 8 itself, we need a strategy for dropping #cslanet satellite packages in a clean way.

I am looking for input on a good strategy and want input.

I'd like to have a discussion about something that's becoming a bigger problem as time goes on: UI frameworks are no longer necessarily coupled to .NET releases. For example, MAUI 8 is going out of...
