Uno Platform 3.8 – New WinUI Calendar, Grid controls, 2x performance, new Linux scenario and more

The new 3.8 release ports additional WinUI controls and layouts, such as the often-requested CalendarDatePicker and CalendarView controls, to all Uno-supported platforms getting us one huge step closer to the #WinUIEverywhere vision. Also, the new release brings up to 2x performance improvements in some scenarios, realized from the new Grid implementation as well as DependencyObject and UI Elements creation improvements. We also introduced new AOT and features for WebAssembly, built on top of recently released Microsoft work on .NET. On the Linux front we enabled new scenarios so you can target embedded systems using the FrameBuffer as well. In addition to new UI and Performance features and improvements, the team has closed 100+ issues. Closing issues timely is crucial in further fueling large projects enabling customers like Kahua to port a massive line of business applications from desktop to Web. We are particularly proud of the fact that with every release we close more issues than have been opened in the previous period; it shows a healthy open-source project. A huge THANK YOU goes to all our contributors. Now, let us unpack the 3.8 release in more detail.

Uno Platform 3.7 – More WinUI, Project Reunion and Linux Support, Wasm Performance Boost

Uno Platform 3.7 expands our support for the newest WinUI, Project Reunion and Linux, all while continuing performance improvements for WebAssembly head. Extending WinUI Support We are continuing the #WinUIEverywhere path by adding support for XAML behaviors for the newly-released WinUI 3. XAML Behaviors is an easy-to-use means of adding common and reusable interactivity to your Windows applications with minimal code. With Uno Platform, you can take it to any mobile, web or desktop platform. Previously, we provided support for XAML Behaviors for Windows UWP applications, and we have now been upgraded it to support Windows WinUI and Uno Platform applications as well. We also contributed the Prism Library support for Uno Platform and Project Reunion – WinUI 3. This was merged very recently in the preview bits and will be available as part of the next release. Big thanks to Dan Siegel and Brian Lagunas for their support to get this massive PR merged (200+ files changed!). New WinUI Control ported – SwipeControl The SwipeControl is part of the WinUI 2 library, and is used a lot on touch devices. We ported this control to Uno Platform to enhance the user experience of your apps: GTK/Linux TextBox support By

The 3.1 release is our 6th release in 2020! In our 2019 survey you had asked us to release more often and we hope we have delivered. In 2019, we had a total of 4 releases and in 2020 we are already up to 6 releases. We hope to have at least one more release by the end of the year. The 3.1 release is special not only because of the new scenarios it unlocks, but also because of significant community contributions we are able to ship – thanks a lot to @robloo , @DanJSiegel and @MartinZikmund for your contributions. For 3.1 release we were able to add 70+ features and close 140+ code and documentation issues. Let’s unpack the release.

Windows Calculator on Linux via Uno Platform

We’ve done it again. We’ve ported the open-source Windows Calculator to yet another platform: Linux! With all the rumors of a Microsoft browser – Edge – coming to Linux soon, we thought it would be good to show that the open source community can be effective in bringing a piece of Windows to Linux. If you’ve been following Uno Platform, you’ll know that we’ve already ported the open source Windows Calculator, parts of its codebase dating to the 1990s, to iOS, Android, macOS and Web/WebAssembly as a proof point of the multi-platform reach Uno Platform gives you as a C# and Windows developer. Partnering with the Canonical team, we created and published it to the Ubuntu Snap Store so you can easily download and install it. Thanks a lot Ubuntu team for assisting us in this process, as well as blogging about Uno calculator at Ubuntu blogs. In addition to Ubuntu, Uno Calculator is now running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Linux Mint, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Manjaro, Kubuntu, KDE Neon, elementary OS, CentOS and Arch Linux, which means you can run it on anything from a Linux desktop, to a Raspberry Pi.
