NumericUpDown and AutoCompleteBox: MaxLength, InnerLeftContent, and InnerRightContent.
WindowNotificationManager was refactored and now can be embedded at any level of the controls tree, not being hardcoded to the top level.

iOS and Android backends now require .NET 8 or newer, as per .NET mobile workloads support timelines.
