Active fork: philipmat/PurpleExplorer

[philipmat]

Hope someone might find this useful.

Purple Explorer no longer seems to be active, nor maintained.

Last commit was 3 years ago; it uses Avalonia version 0.10, whereas the newest is v11; it uses a deprecated version of the ServiceBus library.

I have forked the project and have made both UI and fundamental improvements to it. Among them:

• Enhanced UI:
  • resizable panels and grids;
  • filtering for the tree view;
  • improved message details window with DLQ reason display and application properties;
• Improved connection management and user experience (taller connection box, alerts for existing connections, etc.).
• Upgraded to .NET 8 for better performance and latest features.
• Upgraded to latest Avalonia (v11) for improved UI framework capabilities.
• Migrated to Azure.Messaging.ServiceBus for the latest Azure SDK.

The only downside to my fork is that I'm not providing releases nor binaries and instead require that users build/run this from source code. Luckily it's just one command, and also I'm thinking the target audience for this project is mostly developers.

Please do create tags/releases. Ideally following semver. As this helps a lot for monitoring for significant updates.
