Hot Reload at a glance
There is another innovation for hot reload, i.e. changing a running application through the development environment: as soon as hot reload is triggered, a visual indicator shows the changes in Uno Platform 5.3. This feature is available in all development environments for all targets that the Uno Platform can use. Since the Windows App SDK already has its own reload indicators, the new indicator is not used there.

On the one hand, the indicator shows whether the changes have been applied correctly. On the other hand, it also shows information about which C# classes or files have been changed, if so. Clicking on the indicator icon shows a history of changes made to the application since launch:

As a further novelty, the release sets the default font to Open Sans. Unlike the similar font Segoe UI, it is available not only in WinUI, but also in macOS and Linux, as well as in all browsers under macOS and Linux. Only the target Windows app SDK retains Segoe UI.
