Uno Platform 2.1 release is packed with over 50 new features allowing for increased productivity as well as getting you up and running with Surface Duo. In addition to bigger milestones such as x:Bind, the TwoPaneView and NumberBox controls we also shipped another 50 new features and closed 45 issues you raised.

Among many other updates:

• Support for x:Bind functions (with BindBack, DefaultBindingMode)
• Support for the Surface Duo has been added and the TwoPaneView control
• Support for the WinUI 2.3 NumberBox control
• ElevatedView in the toolkit to add shadows around controls
• Support for Grid.ColumnSpacing and Grid.RowSpacing
• Multitouch pointers support
• Support for UIElement.RightTapped and Holding

You'll also notice some progress on the macOS support, but nothing concrete to share at this point.

Big thank you to all our contributors for the support !
