@adegeo I've moved to another team at the end of .NET 7, and AFAIK @dreddy-work was the primary owner of the .NET 8 release.

@dreddy-work has moved to another team with CarMob, but I bet he'd be happy to take a look too.

I'm going to see what else I can find to put in this What's new. It's been a light release, but I do know there was more. Jeremy is going to look too.

- Correctly scale nested controls. For example, a button that's in a panel, which is placed on a tab page.
- Scale <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form.MaximumSize?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form.MinimumSize?displayProperty=nameWithType> properties based on the current monitor DPI settings.

Starting with .NET 8, this feature is enabled by default and you need to opt out of it to revert to the previous behavior.

We ended up leaving this as opt in, due to some instability with the designer code gen.

@merriemcgaw , not this one. This is ON by default if users target to .NET 8.0. Are you referring to new AnchorLayout?
