In addition to the Calcium.Extras package, Calcium includes a data-binding library, Calcium.UI.Data, for use with non-XAML based technologies such as Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS; and an Undo-Redo system located in the Calcium.UndoModel package. Calcium.UndoModel is downloadable as an independent package.
