8.0.0.1850 - Preview

Description

This is the Prism 8 Release Candidate! There are lots of changes including some major breaks as noted by the major version bump. Many of the obsolete API's in Prism 7 have now been removed in Prism 8.

BREAKING

• The entire Prism.Logging namespace has been removed. This will present a number of binary breaks including with popular libraries like Prism.Plugin.Popups. You may need to wait for v8 compatible packages to be produced before updating.
• The Legacy Container specific Bootstrapper's in Prism.Wpf have been removed. You will need to migrate to the new PrismBootstrapper or PrismApplication

Highlights

• Prism.Uno... Introducing Prism for Uno / WinUI. Note that if you are building a straight WinUI/UWP app there is no dependency on Uno even though you will need to install the Prism.Uno packages.
• More robust Container Abstractions now allow registering Factory / Delegate methods, and support for Scoped Lifetimes
• Added ContainerResolutionException that can help you to diagnose exactly what caused the error
• Removed CommonServiceLocator from Prism.Wpf
• Updates to Xamarin.Forms 4.6 - Adds InvokeOnMainThreadAsync methods to IDeviceService
• Adds Async helpers to avoid async void without blocking the UI Thread
• Adds brand new Prism.Forms.Regions package to bring classic Regions support to Xamarin.Forms projects. NOTE It'll be a while before we get docs for this. In the mean time, look at the WPF docs on Regions as the API is ALMOST entirely the same. You can also look at the E2E app for Forms in the Prism repo
• Updates to Xamarin.Forms 4.8
• Changed the Behavior of the Prism.Forms DialogService. We no longer reparent the content of the currently visible ContentPage. We now use a Modal Page with newly added support for transparent Modal Page backgrounds from Xamarin.Forms
• Changed the definition of IModuleManager and added several helper methods to make it even easier to manage and load your Modules
• Updated Prism.Forms INavigationService with method calls/extensions that were previously on the now removed IPlatformNavigation
• Support for automatic resolution and injection Func<T>, Lazy<T>, and IEnumerable<T>
• Made the ViewModelLocator.AutowireViewModel property Opt-Out rather than Opt-In for WPF & Uno Platform
• Removed the DependencyResolver integration with Xamarin.Forms
