I imagine in 2050 11.0.0 Preview 246 will be released:) Just kidding. Good job guys, looking forward to RC!!!

0.10 also had 6 previews. I wonder if we will stop on it :)

[kyuranger]

Can anyone tell us what does Preview 6 changes or adds? Uno Platform team published its 2nd release today and I am looking forward to the Avalonia team publishing an RC version in the future.

[dotNET-anykey]

Yeah, would be nice to see changes

I built a program using AvaloniaUI from this version, but the program cannot run. When I try to create a new window, it reports an ambiguity error for the InitializeComponent method.

Huh? Have you read the upgrade guide carefully?

[KyodaiKen]

I wasn't shown any upgrade guide when updating the packages.

Thanks. I rolled back my project using git. May I ask why there are so many code breaking changes all the time in Avalonia?

[maxkatz6]

It’s not true.

For the two years of 0.10 existence we didn’t have any breaking changes, with a goal that library compiled for 0.10.0 would work with application used with 0.10.22 two years later.

Last summer we have got a new major version - 11.0 - that includes breaking changes. And so far our API was stable and we plan on continuing this trend of stable APIs.

where is IStorageFile.CanOpenWrite ?

[maxkatz6]

Before it always returned true on all platforms. Was removed.
Note, before it didn't check for the permissions, so you still can get an exception, if user denied write access.

Was LineHeight changed in anyway from 0.10 to 11, When setting a low LineHeight it doesn't apply only large values apply?

[Gillibald]

Not intentionally

[Sigrec]

I'll look into it more but is there anything related to LineHeight that I should know in terms of how it works with other properties? Also my styles got broken on Button and ComboBox control in other windows as well from my Style xaml class, where I am using a compiled binding and a converter it does not apply on some of the properties mainly when hovering, but it works when using hardcoded enum color (Might be some nesting/tree issue). Everything works fine in my main window though and last thing, SelectedIndex and SelectedItem are not working for me for ComboBox's as well and they are both bound to a string[].
