Announcing LibreWPF
Today I'm introducing LibreWPF—an open-source, free, cross-platform implementation of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
The goal of LibreWPF is simple: preserve the WPF programming model while making it available across modern platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, with future support for iOS, Android, and the browser. Existing WPF applications should require little to no code changes, allowing developers to reuse their skills, libraries, and applications beyond Windows.
Powering LibreWPF is ProGPU, a modern high-performance GPU rendering engine designed for demanding desktop applications. ProGPU delivers hardware-accelerated rendering, enabling complex user interfaces, vector graphics, CAD, visualization, and other graphics-intensive workloads while remaining portable across platforms.
Together, LibreWPF and ProGPU aim to give the .NET ecosystem what it has wanted for years: a truly open, high-performance, cross-platform future for WPF.
This is only the beginning, and community contributions are welcome as we build the next generation of WPF together.

Introducing OS Automation in CDP! I've added a unified cross-platform API (macOS, Windows, Linux) that exposes system windows and accessibility trees as virtual Chrome DevTools Protocol targets. Inspect, capture, and automate ANY desktop app via standard CDP! #DotNet #CDP #TestAutomation github.com/wieslawsoltes/CDP

This is what we have been up to since last October:
We’re bringing Xogot, our styled version of Godot, to macOS.
Xogot for Mac brings a native Mac experience, Xcode-inspired project navigation, and easier deployment to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the iOS Simulator without the usual friction.
The beta is open today:

Blogged: Using .NET Native AOT to build Windows WinAPI Dlls
Something I had missed with AOT: you can create native DLLs with it. Took it for a spin to create small, standard WinAPI style DLLs that can be called from legacy applications.
