0.2.160927 (September 27, 2016)

• We’ve noticed failures to complete the VSImporter process of transforming an XCode project into a VS Solution, so we’ve added telemetry calls to track failures of VSImporter in this release. For more information, please see What kind of telemetry does the iOS bridge collect? in our FAQ
• Support for multiple items in password vault
• Fixed build break for apps that have multiple vcxproj's in them
• Fixed Improve performance of [NSObject valueForKeyPath:] #904
• Fixed Target "_ComputeStarboardReferencedProjectRequiresObjectiveC missing when building a project with C++ static lib #973

0.2.160914 (September 14, 2016)

• Added support for fowardInvocation
• Initial implementation of NSUndoManager
• Version change: Over the past year, the WinObjC project has grown dramatically into a much more mature toolkit. Among many other changes and additions, we've incorporated the canonical CoreFoundation framework, retooled our UI strategy to leverage XAML, and added lots of new developer tooling and debugging features. We thought the (slightly belated) one year anniversary of our open-sourcing would be an excellent opportunity to bump our version number from 0.1 to 0.2

0.1 Preview (Sep 6, 2016)

• Starting this week, we’ve switched our implementation of UIScrollView to use a XAML ScrollViewer control behind the scene. This new implementation of UIScrollView does currently not offer support for some properties that were previously supported (for more info, see issue #971), we might add support for these in the future based on customer’s need
• Various bug fixes
• Address book framework partially supported
• CoreText now support center alignment
• Support for foreground toast notifications and activation/deep linking

0.1 Preview (August 23, 2016)

1. Foundation Unit tests can now be built and run on mac for compatibility testing.
2. Addressbook framework initial support to use windows contacts API. Supports querying contacts.
3. NSTimeZone is now bridged to CFTimeZone
4. Several bug fixes in foundation area.
   1. Removed extra copy of libxml from include\libxml
   2. Removed c++/cx usage in libdispatch to improve crash dumps
   3. New projections binaries to fix a regression that removed RTTI.
5. New wiki pages are now available:
   1. Debugging Stack Traces from Crash Dumps, which details how to collect local crash dumps for your application and how to use Visual Studio or WinDbg to debug them.
   2. Changing the SDK Path of a Project, which explains how to use different versions of the SDK to build your project.
   3. Creating and Linking Against C++ Static Libraries, which describes how to setup your Objective-C project to use C++ static libraries.

0.1 Preview (July 1, 2016)

• List of things we added support for:
  • Support for copyWithZone in UIFont
  • Support for image, string and URL properties in UIPasteboard
  • Fixed a regression in Xib2Nib for UIViewController

  • Fix for Instantiating an NSError subclass throws an exception. #563

  • Fix for KVO NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial change event passes empty change dictionary. #568
• We’ve added a new Maps sample and tutorial to the WinObjC-Samples repo. Check it out now for guidance on replacing MapKit-based maps in your iOS app with XAML controls and Bing Maps!
• We’ve made some changes to the way the bridge handles touch input processing and made them available on the new ux/uxe branch. We made these changes in order to integrate XAML-backed UIKit controls with the iOS hit-testing mechanism and native responder chain, which results in a much more consistent, functional, and performant input model. The one drawback to this change is that iOS’s dynamic hit-testing functionality – i.e., the ability of any UIView subclass to override the hitTest:withEvent: method to redirect touch input – is no longer supported. The changes will be open to feedback for the next two weeks, after which they will be merged into develop and master.
