Microsoft is making slow but steady progress toward bridging the Win32 and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) divide. Today, March 29, officials announced that Project Reunion has hit the 0.5 milestone, with the 1.0 release set for Q4 2021.
Project Reunion is aimed at getting Windows developers to build true “Windows apps” that will work on all Windows 10 PCs by adding modern desktop elements to Win32 without users having to rewrite their apps. At Build in May 2020, Microsoft’s Windows Developer Platform team released previews of the first two official Reunion components: WinUI 3 and WebView 2. WinUI 3is the new native UI framework for Windows 10. WebView 2 is a control for integrating web content into an app.
