Update version from 9.0.0 to 9.0.40 to align precisely with MAUI 9.0.40 release. Update CHANGELOG, package metadata, and templates. Fix thread safety issue in FontFallbackManager by changing _glyphCache from Dictionary to ConcurrentDictionary to prevent race conditions during concurrent glyph lookups.
Change version from 1.0.0 to 9.0.0 to align with .NET 9 / MAUI 9.0.x versioning convention. Update all package references, templates, and documentation. Change copyright holder from "MarketAlly LLC" to "MarketAlly Pte Ltd" across all files. Update CHANGELOG to document version realignment and mark 1.0.0 as deprecated. Update release notes to reflect 541 passing tests (up from 217) and include native resource leak fixes, SafeHandle wrappers, and performance benchmarks.
Add performance benchmark tests for critical rendering paths including Measure/Arrange operations on flat layouts (100 children), deep nesting (20 levels), and Grid layouts (10x10). Include HitTest performance validation. Tests use Stopwatch with generous upper bounds to catch regressions while avoiding flaky failures on slow CI machines. Benchmarks verify operations complete within acceptable time budgets (5-10ms thresholds).
Implement SafeHandle wrappers for native resources (SafeGtkWidgetHandle, SafeGObjectHandle, SafeX11DisplayHandle, SafeX11CursorHandle, SafeDlopenHandle) to prevent memory leaks. Move gesture and rendering configuration from static properties to LinuxApplicationOptions for better testability and DI compatibility. Add THREADING.md and DI-MIGRATION.md documentation. Include LayoutIntegrationTests for Measure/Arrange pipeline and SkiaViewTheoryTests with parameterized test cases using [Theory] attributes.
Fix critical memory leaks identified in architecture review: Add signal handler disconnection in WebKitNative (load-changed and script-dialog signals now properly cleaned up), implement GTK idle callback cleanup with automatic removal on completion, add dlclose() calls for WebKit library handles, track GTK signal IDs in GtkSkiaSurfaceWidget for proper disposal. Replace empty catch blocks in GestureManager with logged exception handling. Add WebKitNative.Cleanup() and GtkNative.ClearCallbacks() methods for application shutdown.
Add comprehensive test coverage for 20+ Skia controls including ActivityIndicator, Border, CheckBox, CollectionView, DatePicker, Editor, Grid, Image, ImageButton, Label, NavigationPage, Page, Picker, ProgressBar, RadioButton, SearchBar, Stepper, Switch, and TimePicker. Include tests for TextRenderingHelper utility methods covering color conversion, font style mapping, and font family resolution.
Split LinuxApplication into Input and Lifecycle partials. Extract SkiaView into Accessibility, Drawing, and Input partials. Split SkiaEntry and SkiaEditor into Drawing and Input partials. Extract TextRenderingHelper from SkiaRenderingEngine. Create dedicated files for SkiaAbsoluteLayout, SkiaGrid, and SkiaStackLayout. This reduces file sizes from 40K+ lines to manageable units organized by responsibility.
Document complete feature set including 35+ Skia-rendered controls, full XAML support, X11/Wayland display servers, accessibility, platform services, gesture recognition, and project templates. Include fixes for GestureManager memory leak, text binding recursion, and rendering pipeline crash protection.
Update package references from RC/preview versions to stable 1.0.* across all templates and project files. Mark RC1 roadmap as completed and update documentation to reflect v1.0.0 release. Add GestureManager cleanup in SkiaView.Dispose() to prevent memory leaks. Update copyright years to 2025-2026 and add development artifacts to .gitignore.
Replace 495+ Console.WriteLine debug statements across handlers, dispatching, services, views, and window components with centralized DiagnosticLog service for proper logging infrastructure. Add new DiagnosticLog.cs service with Debug/Error methods to eliminate debug logging pollution in production code.
Add 7-part article series covering OpenMaui Linux implementation deep dives:
1. SkiaSharp rendering architecture and performance
2. Window management across X11, Wayland, and GTK backends
3. Advanced text rendering with IME, font fallback, and internationalization
4. Performance optimization strategies for rendering and memory management
5. Custom control development patterns
6. Dirty region tracking and invalidation
7. HarfBuzz integration and CJK language support
Total 389 lines of technical documentation covering rendering pipelines, platform abstraction, and optimization techniques.
Remove release event trigger in favor of tag push trigger only. Simplify version extraction to use gitea.ref_name directly instead of parsing GITEA_REF environment variable.
This ensures the workflow runs immediately when a version tag is pushed, without requiring a separate release creation step.
Remove Windows and macOS build jobs from CI workflow since this is a Linux-specific MAUI implementation. Consolidate artifact uploads to single "nuget-packages" artifact.
Fix release workflow to use Gitea-specific variables (GITEA_REF, gitea.repository_owner) instead of GitHub equivalents, and use GITEATOKEN secret for package publishing.
