AlterNET UI 0.9.6 beta

Written By Dmitry Medvedev

This beta further supports the development of the cross-platform AlterNET Studio Code Editor. We also continue improving our framework, by adding new controls and fixing bugs.

  • Abstraction Layer: The core framework now separates UI control logic from platform-specific rendering. This allows Alternet.UI controls to work seamlessly across different platforms.

  • Basic support for MAUI applications: The SkiaContainer control added, allowing you to use Alternet.UI controls within MAUI applications.

Enhanced UI Features:

  • Layout Flexibility: A new Layout property for controls allows you to define layout styles like Dock, Basic, Vertical, or Horizontal.

  • Improved StackPanel: More control over child element alignment within StackPanels (centered horizontally, various vertical alignment options).

  • New Controls: A range of new controls have been added, including VListBox for efficient large item handling, TabControl, Toolbar, and specialized options like ColorComboBox and FontListBox.

Technical Improvements:

  • Updated to WxWidgets 3.2.5

  • Integrated SkiaSharp graphics library

  • Upgraded to .NET Standard 2.0

  • Fixed known Linux issues

  • Bug fixes and optimizations
