DotNetBrowser 2.25.0

Blazor Hybrid template for Avalonia UI

The DotNetBrowser.Templates package now contains one more template - a simple Blazor Hybrid application that utilizes the capabilities of Avalonia UI and DotNetBrowser to run Razor components in a desktop app. This approach can be used to build a cross-platform desktop application and construct its UI using both Blazor and Avalonia UI capabilities, sharing a large amount of code between web and desktop. See our Quick Start guide for more details.

Breaking changes

Due to changes in Chromium, the OpenFileHandler parameters no longer contain the DefaultFileName property. Instead, the InitialDirectory property was added, containing the initial directory that the file dialog box should display.

Learn more about these changes in the migration guide.
