    ๐Ÿ’ฅ Breaking Changes ๐Ÿ’ฅ:

    • ๐Ÿš€ #3437: MarkdownTextBlock control is now in an independent package. We are working to split our Controls package into more easily consumable chunks for those apps that are worried about dependencies. For the final 7.0.0 release, we hope to have a bundled Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls package which will contain all sub-packages and provide a smooth upgrade experience. For now if you're using the MarkdownTextBlock and similar controls, you'll need to include the Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI.Controls.Markdown package separately.
