3.0.13 - pushed to nuget

I've now pushed 3.0.13 to nuget :)


Thanks to everyone who's contributed code, ideas and assistance - I'm well behind on badges now - so many of you are awesome! I will catch up on badges soon!



Note that there are some potentially breaking changes in 3.0.13 - marked in bold in the change list below.

The most obvious of these will be in:
Other more subtle breaking changes may come out of some of the binding optimizations - if any bugs appear, please do report them (with reproduction examples if possible).


-----


The main changes from 3.0.12 are:


  • added UnsetValue and DoNothing binding constants to allow richer ValueConverter implementation (note that these constants are not fully supported across all Windows platforms)
  • changed binding implementation so that many more binders will now block feedback loops
  • changed binding implementation so that many more binders will now attempt value coercion when setting values on a target
  • optimised text binding in Droid and Touch - 'label' controls will be set directly using non-reflection and using one-way binding as default
  • optimisations for one-way binding - event subscription is not removed
  • added an IMvxInteraction helper interface to assist with 'dialog' user interactions
  • cleared up 'mixed spellings' of Initialisation/Initialization - the US spelling 'Initialization' is now used everywhere (this may break some overrides in people's Setup code)
  • event `Raise` extension methods now moved into shared code - into CrossCore
  • fragment inflation no longer causes an error message in trace
  • fixed two missing event hook calls in Android dialog code
  • Binding DataContext's now have a DataContextChanged event
  • By default, views can now be named with postfix 'View' or 'ViewController' on iOS, 'View' or 'Activity' on Android, 'View' or 'Page' on WindowsPhone/Store, 'View' or 'Control' on WPF
  • Small optimisation in internationalisation converter
  • Improved access to MasterNavigationController in Touch presenters - as requested via @deapsquatter's blog
  • Improved override capabilities for AndroidLifetime monitoring object
  • Improved error message for users using viewmodels from mutliple assemblies
  • Weak referencing is now used in Rio field binding
  • Added a new location interface into the location plugin - the old one still works but is now marked obsolete
  • Added a simple Reachability implementation for Android in the Network plugin
  • Fixed a "To" regression in the Android email plugin
  • Added simple UIView/View/Control boolean "Hidden" bindings for all platforms
  • FluentBindings can now use `FullyDescribed` and `SourceDescribed` methods to describe contents - e.g. Bind(textField).FullyDescribed("Text MyConverter(Property1)") and Bind(textField).For(t => t.Text).SourceDescribed("MyConverter(Property1)") - the previous Described method (which is SourceDescribed) is now marked as Obsolete
  • Integrated lots of Android Dialog changes from @csteeg - many improvements in usability and stability (if you have overridden GetViewImpl the signature has now changed)
  • Included improved Bitmap resource drawable binding from @Cheesebaron and @scatria
  • Fixed misaligned ViewDidAppear/Disappear calls in event source UIViewController
  • Added MvxRadioGroup from @BenGladman for Android (it's fab!)
  • Added SimplePickerElement from @BenPage for Android Dialog
  • Fixed ambiguous construction issue with MvxColor - and unit tests for the default RGB color value converters
  • Added named MvxColors class based on Mono standard name set
  • Merged Mac binding and Mvvm code from @loqu8 and @deapsquatter - Mac has separate solution currently (more on this soon hopefully)
  • Improved TeamCity buildability via @loqu8 
  • INotifyCollectionChanged event is LinkerPleaseInclude included within MvvmCross core library
  • Android Download image loader can use "res:" prefix for images
  • Android MvxImageView exposes DefaultImagePath and ErrorImagePath properties (matches iOS API now)
  • Android MvxImageView no longer has a IntPtr constructor
  • ToString error messages improved for binding debugging
  • Android MvxSpinner now uses radio elements by default 
  • Android MvxBaseListItem now supports ICheckable
  • Github projects have moved into /MvvmCross organisation

  1. Thanks slodge!

    Of note, one breaking change that I had that I don't see listed above is that "ClearBackStack" is no longer a function on MvxTouchViewPresenter.
