We’ve just released a new beta of AlterNET UI.
Here’s what’s new:
-
Abstraction Layer: The core framework now separates UI control logic from platform-specific rendering. This allows Alternet.UI controls to work seamlessly across different platforms.
-
Basic support for MAUI applications: The SkiaContainer control added, allowing you to use Alternet.UI controls within MAUI applications.
Enhanced UI Features:
- Layout Flexibility: A new Layout property for controls allows you to define layout styles like Dock, Basic, Vertical, or Horizontal.
- Improved StackPanel: More control over child element alignment within StackPanels (centered horizontally, various vertical alignment options).
- New Controls: A range of new controls have been added, including VListBox for efficient large item handling, TabControl, Toolbar, and specialized options like ColorComboBox and FontListBox.
Technical Improvements:
- Updated to WxWidgets 3.2.5
- Integrated SkiaSharp graphics library
- Upgraded to .NET Standard 2.0
- Fixed known Linux issues
- Bug fixes and optimizations
