We are overjoyed to bring you our latest stable release of Xamarin.Forms, version 3.0. This is our fastest, richest release to date coupled with fantastic improvements up and down the Xamarin stack such as the latest XAML IntelliSense experience in Visual Studio 2017.

When you upgrade to 3.0 you’ll discover new layout and styling power that will improve how you build your UI including Visual State Manager, Flex Layout, Style Sheets, and Right-to-Left support just to name a few. In addition to micro-optimizations, XAML compilation has also received specific attention to show build times reduced by as much as 88% in some benchmarks.
