In wasdk 1.5, the plan also includes ink workspace and segmented controls, will that come in the next release.

Segmented control are even available in the c# version of Community Toolkit 8.0

not sure

Update: Although we are continuing to investigate the table view and ink controls, they aren't likely to fully land in the 1.5 timeline at this time.

@ghost1372 is correct - if by "next release" you mean the next release of 1.5 (in other words, the preview and stable releases), then no they're not scheduled to land in that time. If by next release you mean 1.6, then I can't say yet as those plans are still in progress. Thanks for checking!

I may be being pedantic but there seems to be a problem with the package versions of the 1.5.0 experimental releases.

1.5.0 exp 1 package version: 5000.1066.33.0
1.5.0 exp 2 package version: 5000.23.1950.0

i.e. exp 2 is earlier than exp 1. Is that intensional or may be a cut and paste error?

[duncanmacmichael]

It was intentional, nothing to worry about. Thanks for noticing and asking, though!

As we get closer to 1.5, is there any news of a community call from you? We're very concerned about that.You know, almost five months since the last one.
