Scheduling Enhancements

In the latest version of the Xamarin.Forms Calendar control, we have introduced a handful of useful features:

• Special and Restricted slots - easily mark time slots with customized look and content or mark them as restricted so no appointments can be created at these slots
• ScrollTimeIntoView - API that allows to scroll the calendar to a designated time slot in order to navigate the user’s attention
  
  
• AppointmentContentTemplate - full customization over the events appearance in DayView and MultiDayView is now possible with the appointment DataTemplateSelector

PdfViewer Selection and Link Annotation

Text selection is now added to the Xamarin PdfViewer. It allows for selection to be performed via mouse and touch gestures like hold and drag. The selected text can be put in the clipboard of the OS via a selection menu. The colors of the selection and the appearance of the menu are highly customizable.



Link annotations are now also supported which means that the RadPdfViewer will handle annotations being tapped and will navigate to either a URL or to a predefined position in the PDF document. The LinkAnnotationTapped event can be intercepted and used to prevent navigating away from the application accidentally. 

ImageEditor Cropping Options

RadImageEditor for Xamarin gets new cropping options for oval, circular or custom shape cropping, as well as by maintaining the aspect ratio.

ImageEditor Saving Image with Custom Size

When the edited image is being saved, you can now specify a desired size to be saved in or a scale factor to be applied as percentage. This is quite useful where an image of a certain size is needed to be exported by the control, e.g. the size for a profile picture is strictly set, but you do not know what image the user will feed in.
