This is a stable minor version release for 2.x with the various fixes and improvements that have been available in our CsWinRT 2.3 previews. We will also be updating the .NET SDK with these updated Windows SDK projections. Below are some notable highlights included in this release. See the full commit list below for the complete set of changes.
- Dropped support for .NET 6 and .NET 7
- Added a .NET 9 version of WinRT.Runtime.dll which enables marshalling of non-blittable arrays under Native AOT
- Added support for collection expressions including an analyzer to warn for unsupported scenarios
- Improvements to exception propagation to include a default message
- Fixed scenarios where the
SupportedOSPlatformattribute was not being projected as expected - Fixed issues with unsubscribing from events on non-agile objects
- Added a
CsWinRTAotWarningLevel = 3for more extensive AOT warnings with respect to casting scenarios. These warnings can be noisy, so they are not enabled by default. - Added a way to suppress AOT
partialwarnings for certain interfaces using thecswinrt_aot_warning_suppressed_interfaceseditor config option.
