Cimbalino Windows Phone Toolkit updated to v2.3.0

Here’s a short list of all the goodies you’ll find in the 2.3.0 version:

Breaking change: Location component now uses the new Windows Phone 8 Location API (Geolocator) on WP8 (WP7 version will mimic behavior with GeoCoordinateWatcher)
Breaking change: In WP8, the UserExtendedPropertiesService.AnonymousUserID now returns the “ANID2” value (WP7 version will still return “ANID”)
New MultiBindingBehavior
New OptimizedObservableCollection class
Several improvements and bug fixes!

I didn’t actually release a change log for the previous 2.2.0 version, so here it is now:

New MutexLock and NamescopeBinding helper classes
New BooleanToBrushConverter and BooleanToIntConverter
New UriExtensions class
The ApplicationBarBehavior and MultiApplicationBarBehavior can now be attached to the PhoneApplicationPage
The SystemTrayService implementation now allows for a global system tray across all pages
Removed the cimbalino = http://cimbalino.org XML namespace prefix (incompatible with WP8)
Several improvements and bug fixes

A big “thank you” is due to Scott Lovegrove for his continuous code contributions and articles about the toolkit!

Now to write some posts about the new features… ;)
