Latest hotfix update to Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.* packages for UWP with some fixes since we've been working on Windows Community Toolkit Labs (see #4487) earlier this year.

Reminder the .NET Community Toolkit and the MVVM Toolkit code and packages have been migrated to new repositories and versions (8.1 preview coming soon). You should at least immediately update to leverage the optimizations done in the 8.0 release of CommunityToolkit.Mvvm if you are still on the 7.x packages for performance when used within Visual Studio. New issues and discussions should be opened in that new repository, and not here.

We plan to start porting code over to our new infrastructure for an upcoming 8.0 release (more info to be shared soon as we solidify our plans), look for updates in #4488. Some of this work will be done with Windows Community Toolkit Labs immediately (for instance the new GridSplitter is already there), while other work may be done in a new location or branch here (TBD).

We have shipped another hotfix for 7.1.x as 7.1.2 which supports UWP via our Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.* packages and the WinAppSDK/WinUI 3 v1.0 via our CommunityToolkit.WinUI packages. (If you need to use the Toolkit with the 0.8.x releases of the WindowsAppSDK/Project Reunion, please continue to use v7.0.3 of our CommunityToolkit.WinUI packages.)

This includes some minor changes and fixes as well as unifying our version numbers. We're still in the process of migrating code to the .NET Community Toolkit, but expect this to be the last update to the Microsoft.Toolkit based .NET packages as we continue migration to the CommunityToolkit.* identity. We'll share more info as our process progresses in this space.
