Avalonia 12 support was added to Mapsui 5.1.0-beta.7 🎉We had quite some requests for this. Can I have some cheers from the Avalonia community? Release notes: github.com/Mapsui/Mapsui/… @AvaloniaUI @MikeCodesDotNET

@CordasFilip @AvaloniaUI > uncomfortably aggressive. If you're talking about the IDE extension, we show a price and also point people to the community edition. Hardly aggressive. breaking changes between MAJOR versions. You forgot a word. docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/avalonia1… Docs are up to date.

Filip Cordas@CordasFilip·8 Nis

@AvaloniaUI The marketing for the paid stuff was uncomfortably aggressive. There are breaking changes between versions so reading the docs can be out of date or not for the version you installed especially for third party libs. Xaml editor requires constant rebuilds

@wieslawsoltes @BStebner37961 @nkanauzu @washi_dev This is plainly untrue. Just last week we release the RC1 of v12, a MAUI backend and open-sourced our WebView.

@BStebner37961 @nkanauzu @washi_dev I have left core telegram group before that and I left because Avalonia OU clearly said they only focus on commercial clients this was communicated by your CEO many times so why I would be there as OSS contributor?

Imagine you could have had this in Avalonia, x:Bind, Hot Reload, Visual Designer, Live Tree Inspector, Source Generator Xaml Compiler, Inline C#, Interactive Preview and Editing, Optional xmlns, Property Editor, Conditional Xaml and way more.

@wieslawsoltes @nkanauzu @BStebner37961 @washi_dev It’s a fact. We shared the evidence and you threatened legal action. I remember when you deleted your repos because you said people were acting entitled. This isn’t the first time you’ve thrown a tantrum. This time it’s aimed at us, but your behaviour isn’t new.

@nkanauzu @BStebner37961 @washi_dev @wieslawsoltes It was announced on the core team chat. Wieslaw had already rage quit that group for other reasons, so he missed the message. We contacted him separately within hours of the change and offered multiple options.

@BStebner37961 @washi_dev @wieslawsoltes A short message or email such as this could suffice: Dear @wieslawsoltes, we are embarking on reorganizing the rights due to leaving the .NET foundation, and this will affect many rights/ permissions. However, the necessary adjustments will be made later to accommodate.....

@wieslawsoltes You've been banned for persistent bad-faith engagements with the team. This will be our last communication with you.

@wieslawsoltes @jinekLESNIK @ScoutMW Rust is trademarked by the Rust Foundation. Python is trademarked by the PSF. Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, all trademarked. Are these also not open source?

English

Wiesław Šoltés@wieslawsoltes·20 Mar

@MikeCodesDotNET @jinekLESNIK @ScoutMW That just proves my claim Avalonia is not OSS anymore, its trademarked, literally you have trademarked Avalonia word, I literally said word Avalonia in my post. Slapping trademark on OSS software that is MIT licensed makes it impossible to be true OSS.

The end of OSS for Avalonia is here #discussioncomment-16222358" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/AvaloniaUI/Ava… beware, time to find new UI framework I guess

To be clear. @kekekeks isn't the contributor throwing our slop. He's on the receiving end of it.

Mike James@MikeCodesDotNET·20 Mar

The particular 'contributor' has been vibe-coding slop knockoffs of our products, and is now complaining that we won't share our roadmap with him... There's a limited market for vibe-coded slop alternatives. Customers ultimately want quality and stability.

Kekekeks@kekekeks

I'm so done with OSS. I do a refactoring to fix perf, it has a bug due to a typo. Bug is reported and a huge AI-slop PR arrives. I push one-line fix for the typo. Fast forward a month, the vibe-coder complains that his PR isn't getting traction and accuses for copying his AI fix.

@jinekLESNIK @wieslawsoltes @ScoutMW MIT covers the code, not the branding. This is the norm for almost every established FOSS project. You can fork Firefox, but you can't call your fork 'Firefox Community' or anything that uses their trademark.

English

jinek@jinekLESNIK·20 Mar

@wieslawsoltes @MikeCodesDotNET @ScoutMW But this thing is against MIT, no?

English

Mike James@MikeCodesDotNET·20 Mar

@wieslawsoltes @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK Yes. The source code. Avalonia's source code is free to use as well. You clearly don't understand the difference between a licence for source code and a licence to use a trademark.

@wieslawsoltes @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK By that logic, Linux isn't OSS as Linus Torvalds holds the trademark.

English

Wiesław Šoltés@wieslawsoltes·20 Mar

@MikeCodesDotNET @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-sour… you can't distribute Avalonia freely as its trademarked now so you have to change name, this make it impossible to be reused without breaking ecosystem

English

Mike James@MikeCodesDotNET·20 Mar

@wieslawsoltes @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK Avalonia is MIT licensed. It always has been. That's about as OSS as it gets.

English

Wiesław Šoltés@wieslawsoltes·20 Mar

@MikeCodesDotNET @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK Avalonia is no longer OSS as its run and controlled fully by commercial entity, the process is now closed door as you don't share roadmaps and clearly prefer supporting commercial clients, which is 100% fine with me, but its not true OSS now.

English

Mike James@MikeCodesDotNET·20 Mar

@wieslawsoltes @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK We're simply quoting you. You've been very transparent and consistent about using Codex to vibe code. The actual low blow here is saying that Avalonia is no longer OSS because your PR didn't get merged.

Wiesław Šoltés@wieslawsoltes·20 Mar

@MikeCodesDotNET @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK This is clearly taken out of context from my reply, pretty low blow from your side if you ask me x.com/wieslawsoltes/…

@CFDevelop @javarevisited At the scale of code I can code with coding agents no human or even company can review the code and when they are doing it I am moving on new features while they are stuck in the review

@wieslawsoltes @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK TreeDataGrid was almost exclusively developed by Steven (88% of all LOCs). If we look at all @AvaloniaUI staff contributions, they account for 92.1% of the code. Yes, you contributed some code, but let's not pretend you were the driving force behind this component.

@wieslawsoltes @ScoutMW @jinekLESNIK It's been explained countless times what happened. It was a side effect of leaving the .NET Foundation. We tried repeatedly to sort it out with you, but you didn't engage.
