v1.0.2 MediaElement: Adding `ShouldMute` and bugfixes!

This release adds the mute functionality to the MediaElement, but maybe even more important: there are some good bugfixes in here!

We're getting the first real-life feedback from you, thank you for that! And that also means you are using the MediaElement in ways that we could not foresee. That meant, there were a couple of crashes when using MediaElement on iOS in different page types and with or without .NET MAUI Shell. And there was a crash when you would clean up the MediaElement on Windows. Additionally, setting ShouldAutoPlay to false on iOS did not always have effect, that should be better now too.

We fixed the ones we knew about right now, so it should be much more stable! If you still run into anything, of course please let us know!

What's Changed

• [iOS] ShouldAutoPlay=false should not auto play by @jfversluis in #954
• Update ExoPlayer binding dependencies by @jfversluis in #973
• Relax ViewController detection for iOS MediaElement to enable non-Shell usage by @jfversluis in #999
• Fix disposal of MediaElement for Windows by @jfversluis in #1002
• Bump Xam.Plugins.Android.ExoPlayer from 2.18.9 to 2.18.10 in /samples by @dependabot in #1005

• Implement Mediaelement ShouldMute by @jfversluis in #953

v1.0.1 MediaElement: No more WindowsAppSDK issues and minor bugfixes

This version has a couple of small fixes. The main one being that we removed the explicit WindowsAppSDK dependency. This would cause issues when installing on your .NET MAUI app and you'd have to manually add that explicit reference as well which was not a great experience.

If you did add that explicit reference in your .NET MAUI app csproj, you can remove it after installing this version. For more details see the linked pull request below.

• Various MediaElement fixes by @jfversluis in #928

v3.0.0: .NET MAUI Community Toolkit built against .NET 7

And just like that, within 24 hours of the .NET 7 release, the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit has a release built against .NET 7! Same day support!

Just to give you the full context, we have releases a couple of versions after on another, a quick overview.

1. Version 1.4.0: adds Expander, DockLayout & StateContainer (and of course a lot of bugfixes!) - full release notes
2. Version 2.0.0: adds full Tizen support for all of out features, including the changes from v1.4.0 about - full release notes
3. Version 3.0.0: everything from v1.4.0 and v2.0.0 but now built against .NET 7!

With this strategy we aim to empower as many people as possible: everyone on .NET 6 can get all the features we've merged so far, including Tizen support if that's what you need.

From here on out it will be .NET 7 only and expect amazing new features! Or, of course, contribute yourself 😉

As always, thank you everyone for making this possible, thank you community for working with us and using our stuff! <3

v2.0.0 Tizen Support!

This release adds Tizen Support to the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit!

Huge thanks to @myroot, from the Samsung .NET Tizen team, for submitting the Tizen PR!

We are also honored to have @JoonghyunCho, also from the Samsung .NET Tizen team, joining us as a core maintainer on the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit team! You can learn more about Tizen + .NET MAUI and meet @JoonghyunCho in our November 2022 Community Toolkit Standup!

Breaking Change

👀 You may have noticed we increased the Major Version to v2.0.0 👀

To support Tizen, we increased our minimum .NET dependency from v6.0.300 to v6.0.400, because Tizen was not added to .NET MAUI until v6.0.400.

What's Changed

v1.4.0: Expander, DockLayout & StateContainer

This is getting old but... This is the best release EVER! I know, that's what I always say, and it's true every time!

Just look at the list of changes that went in 👇 those are a lot of bugfixes. But not just bugfixes...

Welcome back to three old friends from the Xamarin Community Toolkit, now available for .NET MAUI: Expander, DockLayout and StateContainer. Two of these are actually done by our amazing community members. Big shoutout to @nicjay and @profix898.

And of course, our rockstar core team member @VladislavAntonyuk for making the Expander happen.

Note Expander is not currently supported inside of CollectionView or ListView: #742

Go try it out, and let us know what you think!

Just FYI... This is the second to last release that will support .NET 6. The next release, 2.0, will add Tizen support for all of the goodness in .NET MAUI Community Toolkit and then version 3 will bring .NET 7 support and even more features. Those releases will follow each other pretty quickly, so hang on to your hats!

v1.3.0: Statusbar Color, GravatarImageSource, FadeAnimation and bugfixes!

There is too much good stuff going on in this release! Thanks to @GeorgeLeithead we now have the GravatarImageSource also available in the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit. And @bijington added a pre-built FadeAnimation that you can now use on all of your .NET MAUI elements.

Last but not least, our very own @pictos, with big help from @KSemenenko, has implemented the Status Bar color functionality. With this you can easily change your color of the status bar at runtime! I know a lot of people were waiting for this one...

One thing to still mention, our newest core team member @kphillpotts has made his first contribution here too 🙌

Also lots of bugfixes and other improvements, see the full list below. As always: big thanks to everyone that helped make this happen! 🥰
