beta.220

This release introduces many new features: adds support for Uno Platform, a new web site, updates Maui to RC2,
adds support for Eto.Forms, improves drastically zooming and panning in touch devices (Uno, Maui and Xamarin).

Welcome Uno Platform

There was a step missing for LiveCharts2 to be a real cross platform library, LiveCharts2 is now in Uno Platform!

The LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Uno NuGet package provides 'ready-to-go' assemblies for Uno at UWP (10.0.18362), Wasm (net 6), Wpf (net 6), GTK (net 6) and Android (net 6). We keep working in the IOS, MacCatalyst and MacOS flavors.

New web site

You can now visit https://lvcharts.com/ to browse the samples, or to explore the assemblies in this repository.

Both (samples and API explorer) are generated automatically based on this repo, so feel free to create a PR in this repo to improve anything in the documentation.

Huge improvements to touch devices

In previous versions it worked in touch devices but it was using the same logic as desktop platforms, now zooming and panning feels natural in touch devices, you should now notice how the chart follows your fingers as you move the chart and it has also a cool bounce animation when you reach an edge, the following video was recorder in the Xamarin sample, but it is also implemented in Uno (Android) and Maui:

Untitled.3.mp4

Welcome Eto.Forms

Thanks to @rafntor for adding the Eto.Forms View and the samples.

Updated Maui to RC2

Now Maui package is updated and working with RC 2, notice there is an issue in Maui rc2 detecting gestures dotnet/maui#6553.

UWP package is obsolete now

The LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.UWP will no longer receive new updates, instead it was replaced by LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Uno, just install the Uno package and everything will work as it used to, you also need to rename the namespaces from LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.UWP to LiveChartsCore.SkiaSharpView.Uno.

Assemblies are not strong-named anymore

From MS docs and also GitHub:

For .NET Core and .NET 5+, strong-named assemblies do not provide material benefits. The runtime never validates the strong-name signature, nor does it use the strong-name for assembly binding.

Strong named assemblies will not be provided by the library anymore, but when you need strong named assemblies, I added the pack.ps1 file at the root of the repo, this tool helps you to build and pack the assemblies in the library, then it is up to you to strong name them.

Multiple fixed issues.
