GitHub Latest

While I prepare to refresh my main machine with Windows 10 Creator’s Update and the latest Visual Studio and Xamarin updates I thought I’d throw together a summary of open-source progress since I last blogged:-

Since the announcement of CodePlex’s upcoming retirement I’ve been moving projects across to GitHub. 32feet and my Compact Framework archive are now moved, there is just some tweaking to be done on the Wiki content for the former. I’m planning a blog post on the process I’ve used.

I’ve reworked the existing documentation site which was hosting the Pontoon documentation and it now also contains InTheHand.Forms and 32feet documentation. The Compact Framework stuff may follow but it depends on getting the dependencies setup just right for the help file builder.

Pontoon has had a number of enhancements. I’ve been refactoring the code to better handle the number of different platforms which are supported. This has also allowed me to identify gaps and fill some of them. Android now has InTheHand.Devices.Radios support for Bluetooth and the ability to launch any StorageFile with Launcher.LaunchFileAsync. macOS now has full support for local and roaming settings as-per iOS.
