Today we have released Catel 5.7.0. As always, we recommend to update your apps and libraries to this new version as soon as possible. The new version can be retrieved via NuGet.

One of the things we’ve been proud of over the last few years is the support for multiple platforms without being forced into the “least significant” platform (e.g. PCL). Catel has always been (and in the foreseeable future, will be) released for each target platform (e.g. NET45, NET46, NET47, Xamarin.iOS, etc). The advantage is that we can leverage the platform for each implementation (e.g. .NET is more “powerful” than UWP, etc). The downside of this approach is that we had to deal with lots of hacks to make sure we could compile Catel against each platform. For the last few years, we’ve been using shared projects, which allowed the team… read more →

As a result of that, we have unlisted legacy packages from the NuGet repository.
