Windows App SDK 2.4 Experimental (2.4.1-experimental) 🧪

Windows App SDK 2.4 Experimental is the latest experimental release, headlined by inking support for WinUI 3 and new response statuses for on-device language models. It follows Windows App SDK 2.4.0 stable and generally brings forward the changes from that release alongside the experimental-only additions below.

What's new in WinAppSDK 2.4 Experimental:

• Inking support for WinUI 3. The new InkCanvas, InkToolbar, and InkPresenter APIs add pen and touch input, clipboard and high-contrast support, stroke input, and unprocessed input to WinUI 3 apps.
• Language model response statuses. New LanguageModelResponseStatus.LanguageMismatch and LanguageModelResponseStatus.UnsupportedLanguage values let apps distinguish language-related failures when working with the on-device language model.
