3.0.13-beta2 packages pushed to nuget

I've pushed some 'pre-release' packages to nuget with the latest code from the BindingChanges branch.


This code is definitely pre-release at present - there are a few days of testing ahead of me updating and testing all the samples.


This code also includes a few potential breaking changes - so it is possible that it may eventually be released as 3.1 rather than 3.0. This decision and timeline also depends on Xamarin's release schedule for PCL support - which is outside of Mvx's control. There is still a chance that this support may require us to switch to a different profile - still waiting to find out any information at all on this.



The main changes from 3.0.12 are:

• added UnsetValue and DoNothing binding constants to allow richer ValueConverter implementation (note that these constants are not fully supported across all Windows platforms)
• changed binding implementation so that many more binders will now block feedback loops
• changed binding implementation so that many more binders will now attempt value coercion when setting values on a target
• optimised text binding in Droid and Touch - 'label' controls will be set directly using non-reflection and using one-way binding as default
• optimisations for one-way binding - event subscription is not removed
• added an IMvxInteraction helper interface to assist with 'dialog' user interactions
• cleared up 'mixed spellings' of Initialisation/Initialization - the US spelling 'Initialization' is now used everywhere (this may break some overrides in people's Setup code)
• event `Raise` extension methods now moved into shared code - into CrossCore
• fragment inflation no longer causes an error message in trace
• fixed two missing event hook calls in Android dialog code
• Binding DataContext's now have a DataContextChanged event
• By default, views can now be named with postfix 'View' or 'ViewController' on iOS, 'View' or 'Activity' on Android, 'View' or 'Page' on WindowsPhone/Store, 'View' or 'Control' on WPF
• Small optimisation in internationalisation converter
• Improved access to MasterNavigationController in Touch presenters - as requested via @deapsquatter's blog
• Improved override capabilities for AndroidLifetime monitoring object
• Improved error message for users using viewmodels from mutliple assemblies
• Weak referencing is now used in Rio field binding

Several of these  are potential breaking changes - so please be careful to test your apps if you do choose to update.
