title: MvvmCross 7.1.0

categories: mvvmcross

A new MvvmCross version is available on [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/MvvmCross/7.1.0)! You can always find the latest [changelog in the root of the repository](https://github.com/MvvmCross/MvvmCross/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md) to see what has changed between versions.

This is minor version primarily with bugfixes and clean up of code around the Android and iOS presenter code.
We have also gone ahead and removed the Network and File plugins as a [result of this poll][1]. As an alternative to the File plugin we recommend you to take a look at the [NuGet package System.IO.Abstractions][2]. For alternatives to the Network plugin, we can recommend a mix of using [Xamarin.Essentials][3] for detecting Network connectivity and for making API requests using:

- [Refit][4]
- [RestSharp][5]
- [Flurl][6]

All the presenter code on Android and iOS now have nullability attributes added. The breaking changes in this code are a result of adding the nullability attributes and checking conditions for public API. If you pass a null into a method which doesn't expect nulls, it will in most cases throw a `ArgumentNullException` now.

## New features

There are a couple of new features included in this release.

- On iOS we now have `MvxPopoverPresentationAttribute` which allows you to show a pop-over. Take a look at [this pull request for more information][7].
- On Android `MvxFragmentPresentationAttribute` has been extended with a `AddFragment` property. This can control how Android Fragments are transitioned. The default behavior is as it was previously where we use `Replace` on Fragments. Setting `AddFragment` lets you use `Add` instead, to just add the Fragment on top of the stack.


## Thanks
