What's New in Xamarin Forms?
summary
Xamarin.Forms hits concrete milestones: stable 3.1 and 3.2 pre-release with compiled XAML and compiled bindings for compile‑time checking and speed, Android optimizations like Fast Renderers plus layout compression that drop example view inflation from 130 to 70, NativeForms for embedding Forms pages in native apps, FlexLayout and CSS styling, a CollectionView built on RecyclerView (enabling horizontal/grid layouts) and a new CarouselView, Shell for declarative app structure and URL routing, and Xamarin.Essentials delivering common device APIs.
