@brminnick The Community Toolkit Friday release team is at it again! In this release we’re adding some more amazing things for you so you can love the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit even harder 💘
SpeechToText
Our amazing core maintainer Vladislav Antonyuk has been hard at work to add speech-to-text to this library. When you feel a bit lonely you can now talk to your .NET MAUI apps and they will echo back what you said but now in text. All kidding aside, this has a lot of power and we can’t wait to see what you will build with it.
The documentation, not written with the help of speech-to-text, can be found here.
IconTintColorBehavior
Not entirely new, but now also available for Windows and macOS thanks to @kperdlich! This behavior allows you to give any given image a tint, or a color overlay if you will. This was already available for iOS and Android, now also for Windows and macOS. We have the docs on how to use it available for you right here.
Popup NRE on Windows & FileSaver/FolderPicker modal bugs
These two notable bugs have been fixed thanks to @softlion and @brminnick. The Popup on Windows might throw an exception in certain scenarios when it was closing and cleaning up, we made sure that won’t happen again.
And the FileSaver & FolderPicker would cause trouble if you opened them from a modal page, obviously you also want to save files and pick folders from a modal page, so now you can!
If you need to refresh your mind about how these APIs work again, have a look at our docs for Popup & FileSaver/FolderPicker
