MvvmCross 4.4

Time for a new release of MvvmCross. Many thanks to all the contributors for this release.

There are a few breaking changes to this release, hence the bump of version to 4.4.0. There was also a minor issue with some nuspecs, which forced us to release 4.4.1 of a few AndroidSupport packages.

Breaking changes are noted at the end of each change log below.

In general all Windows Phone 8.0 projects have been removed as we do not support Silverlight anymore, in preparation for switching to .NETStandard.

Here is a change log for all the repositories.
