What's Changed

Welcome to the 8.1-rc release of the Windows Community Toolkit! We have a lot of new and exciting updates in this release, most notably updates for our dependent framework compatibility and a couple of long-standing controls we weren't able to migrate in the original 8.0 release, ColorPicker and TabbedCommandBar, originally contributed by @robloo and @yoshiask.

If you're migrating from 7.x to 8.0, check out our main 8.0 release notes here.

You can find the 8.1.240328-rc packages on NuGet.org.

Migration Notes 📖

We had to update the WinAppSdk TFM to 22621 to resolve incompatabilies with Win2D in the Media component when we upgraded from Windows App SDK 1.3 to 1.4. The full list of notes about this change can be found here, but to summarize:

  • This won't cause issues for targeting older versions of Windows, but it will require those who depend on our packages to upgrade their TFM to net*-windows10.0.22621.0 (where star * is 6.0, 7.0 [support ending soon], or 8.0).

Dependencies/Frameworks

We've updated our packages to support the latest .NET 8.0 (windows10.0.22621.0), Windows App SDK 1.5.240311000, and Uno 5.1.87.

New Components / Features

We've brought over the popular ColorPicker and TabbedCommandBar experiences from our old codebase, enjoy! The Camera helpers have also been fixed for use on Windows App SDK, thanks @GreenShadeZhang for helping us drive understanding on changes in the platform in this space! 🎉
