What's new in WPF 4.0?

Next spring, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 will be here, which also brings us the latest incarnation of WPF, called WPF 4.0. If you are interested in this new version of WPF, you are surely interested in what's planned for the forth-coming release.

Scott Guthrie has again written a nice overview of the topic, and to summarize, the most prominent new features are the following:

• Lots of Windows 7 features: a Ribbon control, multitouch support, shell integration and new taskbar support, etc.
• New text rendering support for better clarity and more control
• Pixel Shader 3 support
• Animation Easing function for more sophisticated animations
• ..and more!

Sound cool indeed!
