Windows Community Toolkit 7.0 is available for download

Briefly informed for the developers among you. Microsoft has made version 7.0 of the new Windows Community Toolkit available for download.

"This new update includes a completely new .NET Standard MVVM library, easier-to-use Toast Notification Helper for both .NET and UWP, a completely redesigned Composition Animation System for C # & XAML, new controls and much more."

The individual improvements are:

• New package structure and changes
• The MVVM Toolkit for .NET
• Improved notification support for Win32 and .NET 5
• Extensive animation tools
• TabbedCommandBar
• Improved ColorPicker

In a few weeks, we will be releasing an updated version of our WinUI 3 based controls in NuGet for Project Reunion 0.5. As part of this change, we will also start using a new package identity trunk from CommunityToolkit. * For our packages. Our existing UWP packages will be retained as Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp. *; however, our new packages for WinUI will be located under CommunityToolkit.WinUI. *.

Our plan will be to ditch the UWP packages at a time in the future when we feel that our community as a whole can migrate to WinUI 3 if it supports the features our existing UWP community knows and knows today loves. Until then, we plan to initially support our existing UWP developers through our existing packages
