New

First-file search order changed. Now package.json is searched first, then index.js and bootstrap.js is being searched last.

Breaking changes

Gesture related enum values changed to start with a small letter in order to be consistent with all other enums within NativeScript. For example "gesturesModule.GestureType.Tap" should be used like "gesturesModule.GestureType.tap".
knownEvents modules within all UI controls are removed and replaced with a static string values. In that case all possible events will be visible through the inheritance tree. These static strings have an Event suffix. At every place where viewModule.knownEvents.loaded is used should be changed to viewModule.View.loadedEvent or pageModule.Page.loadedEvent. This change is relevant to code-behind only (xml declaration will not be affected).

##0.10.0 (2015, April 17)

Fixed

New

In addition to binding converters introduced in version 0.42 static (global) place for most common converters is added. This place is named application.resources. More information how to use it can be found in the special help topic regarding Data binding.

Breaking Changes

Image: url property renamed to src
Image: source property renamed to imageSource
TabView: TabEntry renamed to TabViewItem
Module local-settings changed to application-settings.Only the name of the module is changed (API remains the same), hence the require statements must be updated, i.e. require("local-settings") should be changed to require("application-settings").
