- animation/layout/render cycle is now managed from a central location
- animations are now throttled if animation/layout/render pass takes longer than a frame which previously caused a soft-freeze with input not being processed
- the public API is trimmed to make sure that we can make other planned changes during the 11.x support cycle
"Changelog":
- IClock is hidden and is planned to be replaced later
- Animator classes are hidden and are planned to be refactored later
- IAnimation members are hidden, it's supposed to be a marker interface for Style.Animations collection now, to start animations manually use Animation.RunAsync
- Sealed several classes in Avalonia.Animation namespace
- Spring class is removed from the public API (it wasn't possible to use it directly in a meaningful way anyway)
- Sealed brushes, transforms, effects and drawings
- Removed separate dispatcher priorities for Layout and Composition, everything now happens from a central place with Render priority (same as WPF)
- - some private "hook" priorities are added for now, those will be removed later
- IRenderLoop is hidden and removed from locator
- IRenderer is hidden (the plan is to remove that concept later)
- - Renderer.Start/Stop exposed as StartRendering/StopRendering on the toplevel (will be on a CompositionTarget/PresentationSource-like type later)
- - Renderer.Diagnistics exposed as RendererDiagnostics (same)
- - Renderer is no longer created by the platform code and is created by TopLevel itself
- - From the user-code hit-testing should be done by VisualExtensions.GetVisual(s)At, which has the same features
- - For unit tests a separate IHitTester interface is added which can be changed for a particular toplevel
- ILayoutManager is hidden
- - LayoutManager.ExecuteLayoutPass() exposed as TopLevel.UpdateLayout()
- Custom animators now have a separate base class that only deals with interpolation
Minor improvements:
- Compositor has a mode that doesn't use DispatcherTimers, useful for unit tests
- Introduced ScopedTestBase that auto-resets the locator when test is finished
`ItemsControl` now works more like WPF, in that there are separate `Items` and `ItemsSource` properties. For backwards compatibility `Items` can still be set, though the setter is deprecated. `Items` needed to be changed from `IEnumerable` to `IList` though.
A lot still broken, in particular virtualization is completely removed.`ItemsPresenter` now no longer has an `Items` or `ItemTemplate` property; it detects when it's hosted in an `ItemsControl`. `IItemsPresenter` interface removed.
- Removes the `IStyler` service and the `Styler` implementation
- Moves the logic for applying styles and control themes into `StyledElement`
- Removes the style `TryAttach` method from the public API
- Removes style caching for now - this will need to be added back
In #4218 we imported `IElementFactory` from WinUI which is broadly analogous to a recycling datatemplate for lists. In Avalonia this implement `IDataTemplate` in order to have a common base class for all types of data templates.
The problem with this is that `IDataTemplate` already had a `SupportsRecycling` property which is incompatible with the way recycling is implemented in `IElementFactory`. Instead, introduce an `IRecyclingDataTemplate` to signal data templates that support recycling.
And remove child selection when a `TreeViewItem` is un-expanded.
This is necessary because we don't get enough information about a materialized `TreeViewItem` to select it when materialized, so the `SelectionModel` and `TreeViewItem` selection state gets out of sync.
