Upgrade from 3 to 4
EditNuGet package changes
Since MvvmCross 4, the NuGet package names have changed. All packages containing the name HotTuna or Cirrious have been renamed. If you update the packages using Nuget to a version greater than 4, the new NuGet packages will be automatically installed. However, you should delete the old HotTuna or Cirrious packages from your solution after the update.

Additionally, the JsonLocalisation plugin has been renamed to JsonLocalization.
The package MvvmCross.StarterPack contains sample code and should be removed manually from the packages.config files after adding it to your project (its dependencies will remain there). For an empty project, it is suggested you install MvvmCross.StarterPack. For an existing project or if you don’t want the sample code, it is suggested you install MvvmCross.
Namespace changes
The namespaces beginning with Cirrious have had the Cirrious part removed from them. Cirrious.CrossCore has been moved to MvvmCross.Platform and Cirrious.MvvmCross has moved to MvvmCross.Core. All namespaces named Touch have been renamed to iOS since MonoTouch has since been renamed to Xamarin.iOS. If you are maintaining a plugin and have a project ending in .Touch you should also rename it to .iOS.
Type changes
All classes, methods, and properties containing the term Touch were replaced with Ios. For example, the class MvxTouchSetup is now called MvxIosSetup.
Mac support
All Nugets now support Xamarin.Mac (Unified API). Add the MvvmCross.StarterPack NuGet to an empty Xamarin.Mac project in Xamarin Studio to help you get started with sample code.
