Greetings,

During a recent development environment upgrade to Ubuntu Linux 22.04.4 and Eamon CS to .NET 8, I discovered yet another issue with cursor manipulation, this time within the XTerm program. This, along with the obsolescence of Xamarin.Forms and the forced upgrade to .NET MAUI, proved to be the final straw in the current setup. As a result, I am now working on developing a unified Eamon CS graphical plugin manager based on Eamon CS Mobile, to replace the existing batch file/command console scheme. In this process, I found the Avalonia UI toolkit, which appears to be an excellent solution for creating a multiplatform game runner shell. An added benefit of using Avalonia UI is its potential to serve as the foundation for any future iOS port. This project will be ongoing until the system is fully refactored, and it is expected that the repository will be relatively inactive during this period. While there is no estimated completion date, it is priority #1.

Regards, Michael Penner
