FFImageLoading 2.4.8

Complete history of changes available here: v2.4.7...v2.4.8

Enhancements

• Android: ImageViewAsync is now depreciated. You can now use Android's ImageView widget!

This was really important to me, as it will allow to load images to custom controls or stock controls like ButtonImage. Moreover, it would be now possible to use FFImageLoading inside Xamarin.Forms built-in Image view (by providing simple IImageViewHandler implementation, just the same as GlideX does). YAY!

• Xamarin.Forms: You can now easily use FFImageLoading with standard views like Image. Just call this after Xamarin.Forms.Init call:

CachedImageRenderer.InitImageViewHandler() on Android
CachedImageRenderer.InitImageSourceHandler() on iOS / Mac

• Android: new, improved GIF decoder (thanks @natevarghese for helping me)

Fixes

• GIF invalid delay between frames issues
• Mac: GIF are now working

FFImageLoading 2.4.7

Complete history of changes available here: v2.4.6...v2.4.7

Changelog

Enhancements

Xamarin.Forms support for SVG auto size and downsample auto size (you don't need to set view's size explicitly). Just mind that in list view scenarios it's still better to use fixed sizes (otherwise you may have to call ViewCell's ForceUpdateSize() to see images (as cell's size won't catch up).

Changes

If both downsampling width / height is set, then height is ignored (better memory cache hit rate). This was eg. iOS package default behaviour, but the cache keys still used both values.

Fixes

• Fixes #1176 SVG Opacity change has a delay when the app is cold started
• Fixes: downsampling and transformations info should not be added to custom key when set
• Fixes #1185 - ColorFillTransformation flips the final result vertically on iOS
• XF Mac fixes (conform to newest XF changes)
• Fixes #1123 - Added missing EXIF orientation types support
• GIF fixes, delays issues
• NullReferenceException when trying to load svg images (Android)
