Akavache 3.0.1
What's New
Akavache 3.0 is now released! A special thanks to @onovotny for his huge contribution to PLib support in this release.
Portable Library Support
Akavache 3.0 can now be used with Portable Libraries, including handling images and downloading URLs, via the Splat helper library. This means that with Akavache, nearly all of your serialization and network access layer can be cross-platform.
Cleaned up initialization support
Just like in ReactiveUI 5.0, Akavache now has a much cleaner initialization setup, which is also reliant on RxUI 5.0's RxApp.DependencyResolver
. Many libraries now initialize themselves automatically if possible (on iOS / Cocoa), and other platforms now only require you to set BlobCache.ApplicationName
.
Platforms Supported
Note that for this release, .NET 4.0-based platforms such as Silverlight and WP7 are no longer supported. Bug fixes will still be ported to the Akavache 2.x series when appropriate, you can use the NuGet Package Console to configure your app to only download 2.x updates. Here are the officially supported platforms:
- Xamarin.iOS
- Xamarin.Mac
- Xamarin.Android
- .NET 4.5 Desktop (WPF)
- Windows Phone 8
- Windows Store (WinRT)
