Release Notes

## Notes ##

This package may be uninstallable on Xamarin Studio until this bug is fixed: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=26205
This release requires the usage of the Xamarin Alpha Channel to ensure a working debugger. If your debugger is still not working with your Xamarin.Forms PCL or native code, please file a bug against the debugger project directly. Please include all the information you can and the most concise reproduction you have.

## Enhancements ##

- Android ActivityIndicator Color property now works on Android 5.0+
- WinPhone 8.0 ActivityIndicator Color property now works

## API Changes ##

`Xamarin.Forms.ItemsView` now contains a `protected virtual void UnhookContent (TVisual content)` method. This method is used for unhooking or otherwise cleaning content after usage. While the risk is low, this can be a breaking change for you app if you happen to have provided a method with the same name and the same parameters on a subclass of `ItemsView`, e.g. `ListView`. Please check your code if this is the case.

## XAML ##

- XAMLC has been removed from this release.
