Win2D version 1.9.0 is now available on NuGet (for Windows 10 or Windows / Phone 8.1) and GitHub.

New text features:

• Custom inline objects in text layouts
• Custom trimming signs
• Custom drawing effects in text layouts
• Query the bounds of a glyph run
• Convert glyph runs to geometry
• Text layout line metrics and cluster metrics
• Win2D now correctly handles UTF-32 trimming delimiters

Other new features:

• All Color properties now also have a Vector4 equivalent (for instance CanvasSolidColorBrush.ColorHdr) which allows the use of high dynamic range floating point color values
• Convert ink strokes to geometry
• Query what buffer precision and pixel formats are supported by the current GPU
• Control the buffer precision and tile size used when drawing image effects

We also added a Mandelbrot demo to Example Gallery.  This combines a custom PixelShaderEffect (which generates the fractal) with CanvasVirtualControl and ScrollViewer.  It shows how to implement zooming as well as scrolling when using virtual controls.
