.NET MAUI Community Toolkit Adds .NET 9, Offline Speech Recognition
Briefly

Microsoft released versions 10.0.0 and 11.0.0 of the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit, enhancing features such as .NET 9 support and offline speech recognition. The toolkit serves as a collaborative platform for developers to contribute code addressing gaps in official frameworks. With the transition to version 10.0.0, several breaking changes have emerged, notably the requirement for manual BindingContext assignment—diverging from earlier practices in Xamarin.Forms. This toolkit facilitates the development of applications across multiple devices using unified MAUI technology, evolving from previous frameworks.
The new versions of NMCT enhance .NET MAUI development by adding support for .NET 9 and introducing offline speech recognition, along with various bug fixes.
MAUI represents a significant evolution of Xamarin technologies, allowing developers to create applications for multiple devices with a consolidated framework and approach.
The transition from NMCT 9.0.0 to 10.0.0 introduces breaking changes, requiring developers to adopt new standards for BindingContext management in their applications.
The NMCT emphasizes community-driven contributions, enabling developers to enhance functionalities which may later be integrated into official Microsoft libraries.
