Last year, version 6.0 introduced ARM64 support. It also came with new features, such as the EyeDropper control. Version 6.1 brings a host of new features and controls as well, including the tokenizing textbox and improvements on notifications helpers.

The new Windows Community Toolkit 6.1

The latest additions to the Windows Community Toolkit should make work a little easier for developers creating Windows 10 UWP applications. Microsoft says that the toolkit’s new tokenizing textbox isn’t an autosuggest box, even though it may seem like it. Instead, it’s a bit more advanced because it lets you pick multiple options. The feature tokenizes all the items you’ve selected, making them easier to pick out and manipulate further as you’d wish. According to Microsoft, the tokenizing textbox has been one of the most requested controls for the toolkit. It will be very useful to developers when organizing items, picking contacts, and numerous other dev use cases. Additionally, the Windows Community Toolkit 6.1 will be handy to developers building apps for Windows 10 platforms such as desktops, laptops, Xbox, and even HoloLens. You may also develop any existing win32 app using the toolkit after converting it to UWP using the Desktop Bridge. Just like with the previous versions, the latest version is an outcome of joint efforts involving Microsoft and the GitHub community.
