.NET 5 breaking changes for WPF/Windows forms
-
These desktop technologies were unavailable before .NET Core 3.0, as earlier versions of .NET Core focused on web-based applications via ASP.NET Core.
Or for cross-platform .NET - all of the above
Not the StatusStrip control, nooOooOooOo!

- I don't understand why the talked about the XAML-2009 support. It's not a "breaking change" that they STILL haven't added it. 1) They released the WPF source code on GitHub, effectively abandoning further development. 2) Avalonia - while a great idea - is still not even at 1.0, and the most recent version (0.9) came a year ago.

Calling out the removal of the 1.0 statusbar control felt a bit odd. Elsewhere IIRC reading that they dropped a number of other 1.0 UI controls: The datagrid, main menu, context menu, and toolbar. The 1.0 grid was awful, being a pre-generic control it only supported collections of `object`s and had terrible customization; we used multiple 3rd party grids (with their own issues, which is why we used several different ones in the same app) to actually make a useful application. When we finally upgraded from 1.1 to 3.5 (legacy OS requirements wouldn't let us do so earlier), one of the first things I did was to switch everything to the new typed 2.0 grid. (The first thing I did was to spend a few days unsuccessfully trying to port the old grids forward.) We also upgraded the menus/toolbars for that release, but other than newer looking UI styling I don't recall what was actually different between them and the old versions.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I used to use the StatusStrip all the time, back in the day.
