News
Open source
With this release we open source Forms. You can find the source code on GitHub
CarouselView split into separate package
CarouselView, which appeared in Xamarin.Forms 2.2.0-pre1 through pre4, has been been removed from the Xamarin.Forms package and moved into its own Nuget package: Xamarin.Forms.CarouselVIew 2.2.0-pre1.

Pages
Adding AzureDataSource support by introducing Xamarin.Forms.Pages.Azure nuget.
2.3.0-pre1
New Features
Data Pages
Xamarin.Forms DataPages are available as a preview for customers to try and provide feedback. The preview is available in the Xamarin.Forms.Pages nuget package. DataPages provide an API to quickly and easily bind a data source to pre-built views that can be styled with Themes.
Themes
Xamarin.Forms Themes are available as a preview for customers to try and provide feedback. A theme is added to a Xamarin.Forms application by including the Xamarin.Forms.Theme.Base Nuget package, plus either an additional package that defines a specific theme (eg. Xamarin.Forms.Theme.Light) or a locally defined theme.
URL Navigation
Deep link directly to any page within your Xamarin.Forms app with URL Navigation.
In order to avoid adding a dependency on GooglePlayServices to the Xamarin.Forms core package, we've created a new Xamarin.Forms.AppLinks nuget package that will be required for this feature to work on the Android platform.
Embedded Native Controls
Embed custom Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android controls in Xamarin.Forms applications.
Other New Features
- Multiple shared resource dictionaries with implicit styles and/or dynamic resources are now supported
- Can now set the background and text color of the Tab bar on TabbedPage.
- Known Issues:
- [WinRT, WinPhone 8.1, UWP] Setting BarTextColor does not currently work.
- [WinPhone 8.1, UWP] If the TabbedPage contains a NavigationPage, the BarBackgroundColor and BarTextColor for the NavigationPage takes precedence
- [WinPhone 8.1] If the TabbedPage contains a NavigationPage, switching between tabs may cause the background color to be lost.
- [Android] Cannot set BarTextColor back to default after changing it to a non-default color.
- Can now set TextColor on Picker, TimePicker, DatePicker.

2.2.0-pre1
New Features
Updated Google Package Dependencies
Xamarin.Forms on Android now depends on GooglePlayServices 29.0.0.1 for maps and Xamarin.Android.Support.v4 (and friends) at 32.1.1.1.
Margins
Adding margin support is intended to allow users to reduce the overall depth of their layout hierarchies by allowing more complex layouts with fewer wrapping views.
public Thickness Margin { get; set; }
UWP Maps
UWP Maps are now supported, just like other platforms.
CarouselView
CarouselView is intended to fully replace CarouselPage. CarouselPage will be deprecated in a future release. CarouselView is superior in many ways, including its ability to be virtualized and nested within layouts.
Nest platform controls to Forms layout
Allows adding platform-specific controls (iOS, Android, and Windows) directly to a Forms layout. Note: this isn't available from PCL and requires #if defines to work from a shared project.
2D ScrollView Support
scrollView.Orientation = ScrollOrientation.Both
AutomationId Support
Xamarin.Forms now has first class support for setting automation identifiers for usage with Xamarin UITest or other testing frameworks. Simply setting the AutomationID property should allow the automation framework to find and interact with your controls.
