    WPF is a .NET Core UI framework for building Windows desktop applications.

  • This article only sights a video stream. I think part of the problem with the glacial pace of development is reliance on manual testing. See this comment:

    > Our primary goal is to ensure reduced turn-around-times for new PRs as well as clear the pending backlog of existing PRs. To that end, we are working on putting appropriate automation in place to reduce the dependency on manual testing as much as we can.

    See also the recently updated WPF roadmap:

    If you look at the history of this file you can over the years tests have been always been in the backlog.

    As for “where projects go to die”, they have 3 features planned for this year: Windows 11 Theming, a new type of folder browser, and null ability annotations. And they say they don’t think they can do them all. Maybe I’m underestimating, but that’s not a lot.
