What's new in ver. 3.5.0:
-------------------------

2. Extension methods for Span to set Text and TextColor.

new Span().Text("Hyperlink", Colors.Blue)

new Span().Text("Hyperlink").TextColor(Colors.Blue)

3. Extension method for Picker to set the Items inline.

new Picker().Items(["Red", "Green", "Blue"])

4. Extension method for BindableLayout to set the Items inline (with IEnumerable<T> as its parameter).

new StackLayout().ItemsSource(["Red", "Green", "Blue"])

v3.4.0:

1. The typed binding Gesture method's LINQ expression is constrained to return a value of type ICommand

2. Add a wrapper method for binding BindableLayout's ItemsSource as a LINQ expression

new StackLayout()
   .ItemTemplate((DataTemplate)Resources["CardLayout"])
   .ItemsSource(static (HomeViewModel vm) => vm.Orders);

v3.3.0:

1. New Gesture methods (suffixed with v2) that work based on the LINQ expression rather than classic reflection-based bindings.

This form of binding supports nested properties, default properties, and most importantly type safety and compile time validation.

v3.2.0:

1. New Bind methods (suffixed with v2) that work based on the LINQ expression rather than classic reflection-based bindings.

This form of binding supports nested properties, default properties, and most importantly type safety and compile time validation.

2. Markup methods for all properties of Xamarin.Forms VisualElement for easier migration to .NET MAUI

3. Markup methods for Text property for Label, Button, Span, MenuItem/SwipeItem and its derivatives.
