3.1.1-beta4 released (we skipped 3.1.1-beta3!)

I've just pushed 3.1.1-beta4 to the binaries repository and to nuget

The changes since 3.0.14 stable are detailed below.

The main things to flag since the last beta are:
  • changes to Tibet binding on Windows - fixing leaks
  • changes to MvxCommand - it now uses weak event references
  • changes to Click binding on Droid and TouchUpInside binding on iOS - these now use the CanExecute method and CanExecuteChanged event
  • changes to MvxSpinner for Android 4.4 KitKat - these are especially likely to cause issues for people using MvxSpinner - please check your User Interfaces!

I am hoping that this is the final beta.... we definitely need to release a full 3.1.1 release soon!



Changes in 3.1.1-beta1:

  • Switch to profile 158 for all portable assemblies
  • Switch to WP8 for all WindowsPhone projects - plus System.Windows.Interactivity dependency updated to 3.9.5
  • Fragging now uses the Google Xamarin.Android v4 support library rather than the Mono.Android one.
  • Html email fix for Android
  • Changes to nuget referencing (especially WP8 and SL5)
  • To avoid angst, the existing SQLite plugin is no longer marked "obsolete" - I still encourage everyone to switch to the new community plugin as it is the better plugin (and I encourage people to step forwards to take over the admin of this too!)
  • Improved helper method for subscribing to Interaction events
  • A draft IMvxComposeEmailTaskEx interface has been added to the mail plugin allowing attachments and multiple addresses on some platforms. More work is still needed here


Changes in 3.1.1-beta2:

  • softlion's Accessory fix for Content in Xamarin.iOS table cells
  • removal of the unused Content set property accessor in in Xamarin.Android list view items
  • inclusion of more efficient Exists methods in Windows Store
  • allowing non-void command methods in CommandCollectionBuilder
  • an attempt at fixing the KitKat spinner inflation problem thanks especially to Cheesebaron
  • an initial Community SQLite 158 port thanks to CreepyGnome and Tofutim

Changes in 3.1.1-beta3 and 3.1.1-beta4:

  • Android Email attachment thanks to @holgmans
  • MvxNativeValueConverter inner-wrapper access thanks to @damirarh
  • Tibet leak fixed for Xaml platforms
  • Tabs fragment provide hook to allow transitions thanks to @softlion
  • Droid Honeycomb list activation code included - thanks to several people
  • MvxCommand changed to use weak reference event manager
  • Droid Click and iOS TouchUpInside bindings changed to use CanExecuteChanged
  • Company name included in all assemblies (to stop Windows Store complaining!)
  • LayoutBorderWidth binding added in iOS - thanks to @stephanvs
