This release contains multiple breaking changes, features, and bug fixes. View the migration guide for upgrade guidelines.

Platform Support

Support for Mac Catalyst on non-MAUI applications was added.
The minimum .NET Framework version was bumped to 4.7.2. Direct support for .NET 6 and 7 was removed, but it's still available through .NET Standard.

Breaking Changes

All structs and enums were moved from SharpHook.Native to SharpHook.Data.
ModifierMask and EventReservedValueMask were merged into a single enum - EventMask.
UioHookEvent.Reserved was removed. Its values are now part of UioHookEvent.Mask.
All constructors of SimpleGlobalHook, TaskPoolGlobalHook, SimpleReactiveGlobalHook, and ReactiveGlobalHookAdapter except the main ones were removed.
TaskPoolGlobalHookOptions was removed.
All obsolete values in the KeyCode enum were removed.
LogSource.Register was removed.
Members of HookException related to binary formatters were removed.
The behaviour of TestGlobalHook and TestProvider was changed. Instead of dispatching events in the same thread that simulates them, they now instead add events into an event loop running on a different thread.
TestProvider now throws an exception if Run or RunAsync is called and it's already running.

The ability to stop global hooks without disposing of them was added.
Several functions for working with the macOS Accessibility API were added.
UioHookEvent.Mask now contains the state of modifiers and mouse buttons regardless of the global hook type (keyboard, mouse, or both).
Running global hooks won't be garbage-collected.

Getting libuiohook logs on Mac Catalyst applications was fixed.
The issue with global hooks breaking Alt codes on Windows was fixed.
Getting events for Caps Lock was fixed on macOS.
Disabling access to the Accessibility API when a global hook is running on macOS won't freeze the OS anymore.
Disposing a TaskPoolGlobalHook inside an event handler doesn't throw an exception anymore.

libuiohook was updated to commit c61b486.
SharpHook.Reactive now depends on Rx.NET 6.0.1.
Docs for older versions were removed. From now on, only the latest version will have docs hosted on sharphook.tolik.io.
