The xz fiasco has shown how a dependence on unpaid volunteers can cause major problems. Trillion dollar corporations expect free and urgent support from volunteers. Microsoft Microsoft Teams posted on a bug tracker full of volunteers that their issue is "high priority"

Found some Avalonia UI in the JetBrains dotMemory #dotnet

Super happy to share a new CsWinRT milestone: now builds with 0 trim/AOT warnings, ie. it's fully AOT compatible! We also got the NativeAOT size in our WinRT component sample down to just 2063 KB! github.com/microsoft/CsWi… was the last piece of the puzzle 🚀 #windev #dotnet #csharp

Internet: Average Shinkansen delay is 1 minute. Me at the station: An hour and a half delay.

We've been experimenting with running Avalonia in the browser using NativeAOT-LLVM. It's early days, but the performance improvements are already very promising 🚀 Learn more here: github.com/AvaloniaUI/Ava…

Oh wow, this is gonna be big! Thanks Maxwell Katz for getting this in. I know this will help iOS a lot. github.com/mono/SkiaSharp…

WOW! After so many commits and 2 years too late, we finally are using the new things in SkiaSharp: github.com/mono/SkiaSharp… Thanks to Maxwell Katz for making this go green! Waiting for CI to build and then it will appear in the preview feed for your testing pleasure!

sizoscopeX - the Avalonia port of sizoscope, is now built with .NET NativeAOT and runs natively on WebAssembly! Both the performance and binary size are significantly better than when using mono, mono-aot, or mono-aot-llvm! hez2010.github.io/sizoscopeX #dotnet #Avalonia

Finally! A stable version 3.x of #SkiaSharp is out! It has been too long and quite frankly, this Matthew Leibowitz guy has been too distracted. But there are so many new things in this 3.x series that you don't want to mis it! nuget.org/packages/SkiaS…

I published part 5 of my "Writing a .NET profiler in C#" series. All the foundations built in the previous articles have been moved to a library named Silhouette. In this new article, we finally have everything we need to write an actual profiler.

UWP support for .NET 9 is now built-in to Visual Studio! 17.13 Preview 3 includes brand new project templates, new Windows SDK 26100 (w/ updated XAML compiler), .NET SDK integration, and lots of improvements! Perfect time to migrate your apps to Native AOT! 🎉 #windowsdev #csharp

Avalonia Accelerate is now available! 🚀 🚀 🚀 Built for teams who want faster results, better tools, and advanced components, Accelerate is designed to supercharge your Avalonia projects from day one. 👉 Buy now: avaloniaui.net/accelerate 📖 Learn more: avaloniaui.net/blog/avalonia-…

For fun, I asked LINQPad 9's coding agent to write an Angry Birds game using Avalonia UI. Here are the results, using Opus 4.5 from Anthropic. Shown running on macOS!

I'm so done with OSS. I do a refactoring to fix perf, it has a bug due to a typo. Bug is reported and a huge AI-slop PR arrives. I push one-line fix for the typo. Fast forward a month, the vibe-coder complains that his PR isn't getting traction and accuses for copying his AI fix.

github.com/irihitech/Semi… Glad to announce our day 0 support for Avalonia UI 12.0 😘.
