Win2D v1.0.0 Release Notes

  • July 29, 2015

    ๐Ÿš€ 466 days and 821 changes after our first commit, and nearly 11 months after we made the project public, today I am pleased to announce the release of Win2D version 1.0.0.

    ๐Ÿ— This adds support for Visual Studio 2015 RTM, and provides a stable API that we will avoid breaking as we move on to adding vNext features. It is no longer compatible with earlier Visual Studio 2015 RC builds.

    ๐Ÿ Note that the "Win2D" NuGet package is deprecated. Instead, please use either "Win2D.uwp" or "Win2D.win81" depending on whether you are building for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) or Windows/Phone 8.1.

    ๐Ÿ— I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the early adopters who put up with the churn and lack of features in our early builds to give invaluable feedback on how we could make Win2D better. To reuse a hoary cliche, what bugs remain are our fault, but all the bugs there aren't is thanks to these brave pioneers!
