0.2.161107 (November 7, 2016)

• Starting this month, we added support for locationInview, cancelsTouchesInView and numberofTouchesRequired for several UIGestureRecognizers:
  • locationInView now works for UILongPressGestureRecognizer and UISwipeGestureRecognizer.
  • cancelsTouchesInView now works for UITapGestureRecognizer, UIPinchGestureRecognizer, UIPanGestureRecognizer, UILongPressGestureRecognizer, UISwipeGestureRecognizer when the UIView is not nested in a UIScrollView.
  • numberofTouchesRequired now works for UISwipeGestureRecognizer.
• Switched our implementation of UIButton to use a XAML Image and a XAML TextBlock control behind the scenes. This new implementation does not support some properties that were previously supported (see #1331 for more details).
• Fixed issue where scrollViewDidEndDecelerating/scrollViewDidEndScrollingAnimation delegates didn't fire after finger-flicking in a UIScrollview.
• CoreText now uses DWrite. This sets us up for more CoreText APIs support in future releases as well as higher perf when moving compositing to hardware acceleration (more about this change here and the full list of known issues is here). This release enables:
  • Full Kerning support.
  • Windows fonts support.
• Support for apps registration of file types so they can support, handle and trigger their own activation when users activate registered file types.
• Fixed issue where some apps doing lots of initialization on launch were getting killed by PLM.
• Started migration for Core Graphics to use D2D. This is not part of the release, but current progress is available on the CGD2D branch.
• Splitted WinRT projections into multiple DLLs for improved performance (no code changes are required to enable this).
• VSImporter versioning and telemetry improvements to diagnose project import failures (see What kind of telemetry does the iOS bridge collect? in our FAQ).
• RTObjCInterop.dll support for heterogeneous containers.
• RTHelpers.h was moved under WinObjC/include/Platform/UWP.
