Breaking Changes

Change iOS SetNeedsLayout propagation mechanism by Alberto Aldegheri in https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/26629
- Overriding SetNeedsLayout on MauiView to short-circuit invalidation propagation will no longer work. We will be looking into a way to still provide this behavior, if necessary, in an upcoming PR, and will be watching closely for any potential issues that may arise.
Improve PropertyMapper performance by Alberto Aldegheri in https://github.com/dotnet/maui/pull/28077
- This PR will change the ordering of some of the mappers. In theory, mapper ordering shouldn’t really matter, but occasionally, issues with ordering do tend to creep in.
