v8.0.1: TouchBehavior (and all Behaviors) Hotfix

By implementing TouchBehavior we found out that the databinding for it was a bit odd and went to investigate why.

The good news is: we found it! 🎉

The bad news is: it applied to all of our behaviors 🙈

We quickly fixed it and rolling it out as a minor release. Technically it's a breaking change, but we expect not many people to be impacted by that. If we thought wrong: our sincere apologies.

Check the PR below for all the details, TL;DR is data binding for behaviors is now a lot easier!

What's Changed

• For All CommunityToolkit.Maui.Behaviors, Ensure BindingContext Is Automatically Set to the Attached View's BindingContext by @brminnick in #1791

Full Changelog: 8.0.0...8.0.1

v8.0.0: Can Touch This! TouchBehavior is Here!

TouchBehavior is here!

The release a lot of people have been waiting for is here. Version 8.0 of the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit introduces the ever popular TouchBehavior! You might know TouchBehavior as TouchEffect in the Xamarin world, but since Effects no longer exist, it has now been turned into a Behavior.

Due to the amazing work of @Axemasta this functionality is now ported from the Xamarin Community Toolkit to .NET MAUI. Of course, @bijington was on the case with the documentation, so we have that in place for you as well.

Breaking Snackbar on Windows

Otherwise, there is A LOT going on in this release, just look at the list below. There is however one thing we do want to highlight: the breaking changes for Snackbar.

Based on your feedback @VladislavAntonyuk did a complete rewrite of the Snackbar on Windows, ultimately of course to make things better, but it requires some changes on your side if you are working with Snackbar on Windows today. On other platforms it should work unchanged.

Find all the details in our updated documentation for this.

NavigationBar coloring for Android

Another functionality that was ported over from the Xamarin Community Toolkit is the NavigationBar coloring. This is very specific to Android and allows you to change the color of the systems navigation bar (the bottom one with the back button, home button, etc.)

@pictos did a great job on this one figuring out how to fit this into our toolkit 👏

Find all the docs on how to start using it, right here.

Thank you contributors!

Of course we couldn't have done this without our amazing community and team, a major feature like TouchBehavior being implemented by someone from the community is what this project is all about. Truly amazing.

Special shoutout to our first-time contributors: @Marioo1357, @eduardoagr, @StevilKnevil, @Cybrosys, @marco-skizza and @Axemasta but of course a BIG THANK YOU to all of you!

Full Changelog: 7.0.1...8.0.0

v2.0.1 Windows Maps: bugfix for crash!

This release fixes a crash that was introduced when updating .NET MAUI to version 8.0.10.

As part of this change in .NET MAUI, the initialisation call for the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit Maps would also crash because the Toolkit was call the .NET MAUI UseMauiMaps call as part of the initialisation.

This call was not needed, but until now did not cause any problems. We removed the call and thus fixed the crash.

More information can be found here: dotnet/maui#21360

To correctly initialise the .NET MAUI Maps as well as the Toolkit Maps you MauiProgram should look something like this:

  var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
  builder
	  .UseMauiApp<App>()
	  .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
	  {
		  fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
		  fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
	  });

    #if IOS || ANDROID
    builder.UseMauiMaps();
    #endif
    
    #if WINDOWS
    // Initialize the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit Maps by adding the below line of code
    builder.UseMauiCommunityToolkitMaps("key")
    #endif

   return builder.Build();

v3.1.0 MediaElement: fullscreen support is finally here!

Years in the making but here it is! Fullscreen support for our MediaElement 🤯 A big shoutout to @ne0rrmatrix and @vhugogarcia but also @pictos @bijington and @brminnick for all their work, reviews and probably some blood, sweat, tears, the occasional fights with partners, sacrifices to the binary father and who knows what else.

Also as part of the fullscreen change you should now be able to use MediaElement when using Shell, not using Shell, inside of a CollectionView, etc. Also something many people have been waiting for.

Please note that we did update the MediaElement docs with a note about using fullscreen on Android, so be sure to read that.

Go grab this release and try it out in your apps!
