Fluent.Ribbon v7.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-09-29 // over 4 years ago

    • Breaking changes

      • [#471](../../issues/471) - Drop support for .Net 4.0
      • Reverted [#466](../../issues/466) - StrongName signed assembly?
        Assemblies are strong named again, but AssemblyVersion is now fixed for every major release.
        This means that, for example, for version 7.1 the AssemblyVersion will still be 7.0.
        Other versions like AssemblyFileVersion etc. won't be fixed.
      • [#515](../../issues/515) - Switch to new csproj format and require VS2017 for development
      • [#545](../../issues/545) - SplitButton.IsChecked is not bound 2 way by default
      • Due to [#549](../../issues/549) RibbonGroupBox.Header is now of type object and RibbonGroupBox now inherits from HeaderedItemsControl instead of ItemsControl.
        Please have a look at the documentation for details.
      • Removed CornerRadius everywhere except in all controls related to ApplicationMenu.
      • Default Foreground for ComboBox changed from Inherited to Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.LabelTextBrush.
      • Default VerticalContentAlignment for ComboBox, Spinner and TextBox changed from Top to Center.
      • Key tips can not be opened by pressing Space anymore.
      • [#574](../../issues/574) - Move backstage animations from BackstageTabControl to Backstage .
      • Backstage.IsOpenAnimationEnabled got renamed to Backstage.AreAnimationsEnabled. This also applies to StartScreen.
      • Backstage.HideAnimationDuration got removed. This also applies to StartScreen.
      • Default value of dependency property Backstage.HideContextTabsOnOpen is now true. The default value from style was already set to true. So this should only be a breaking change for you if you did not use the default style for Backstage.
      • Default value for Foreground of RibbonTabItem is now Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.RibbonTabItem.Foreground instead of Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.RibbonTabItem.Selected.Foreground because trigger order was fixed in [#578](../../issues/578).
      • GlassFrameThickness was removed in favor of the new GlowWindowBehavior. Thus you can now use GlowBrush and NonActiveGlowBrush on RibbonWindow. The resize border now also works "outside" of the window.
        This fixes [#307](../../issues/307), [#319](../../issues/319) and [#556](../../issues/556).
      • The default value for TabItemSelectedForeground on RibbonContextualTabGroup is now bound to Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.RibbonContextualTabGroup.TabItemSelectedForeground. Previously this was bound to Foreground of RibbonContextualTabGroup.
      • The default value for TabItemMouseOverForeground on RibbonContextualTabGroup is now bound to Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.RibbonContextualTabGroup.TabItemMouseOverForeground. Previously this was bound to Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.HighlightBrush or BlackBrush.
      • The default value for Fluent:RibbonProperties.MouseOverForeground on RibbonTabItem is now bound to Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.RibbonTabItem.MouseOver.Foreground. Previously this was bound to Fluent.Ribbon.Brushes.HighlightBrush or BlackBrush.
      • [#596](../../issues/596) - Breaking changes in theming
        The theming got rewritten this means that there is no longer a separation between AppTheme and Accent. These got replaced by Theme.
        Instead of something like pack://application:,,,/Fluent;component/Themes/Colors/BaseLight.xaml and pack://application:,,,/Fluent;component/Themes/Accents/Cobalt.xaml you now have to use pack://application:,,,/Fluent;component/Themes/Themes/Light.Cobalt.xaml. The words AppTheme and Accent are replaced by Theme everywhere.
      • The target type for Fluent.Ribbon.Styles.MenuItem (previously named FluentDefaultSystemMenuItemStyle) now is Fluent:MenuItem instead of MenuItem
      • Instead of depending on System.Windows.Interactivity we now depend on the open source version Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf
      • [#650](../../issues/650) - Create XAML icons and replace the shipped pngs with these (thanks @DenZuck for creating the xaml icons)
        Due to this change all shipped images are now of type DrawingImage instead of BitmapImage.
      • The filename inside IsolatedStorageFile for the default RibbonStateStorage is now "Fluent.Ribbon.State." + Hex value of MD5 instead of "Fluent.Ribbon.State.2.0." + hex value of GetHashCode. This was done because GetHashCode does not return a stable value, especially on .NET core 3.0.
      • RibbonTabItem.Indent was replaced by RibbonTabItem.HeaderPadding
