Experimental channel release notes for the Windows App SDK 1.4
Important
The experimental channel is not supported for use in production environments, and apps that use the experimental releases cannot be published to the Microsoft Store.
The experimental channel provides releases of the Windows App SDK that include experimental channel features that are in early stages of development. APIs for experimental features have the Experimental attribute. If you call an experimental API in your code, you will receive a build-time warning. All APIs in the experimental channel might have breaking changes in future releases, but experimental APIs are especially subject to change. Experimental features may be removed from the next release, or may never be released.
