Virtualized Lists - Lists items can be can be virtualized through the UseVirtualization field. When enabled only the items visible in the scrollable viewport of the list will be active in the list hierarchy. This improves performance significantly when having large lists of complicated items and when only a few are shown at a time.
Multiple List Templates - A list can now have multiple list templates for different types of items. To use this feature you create multiple templates in your list and give them different IDs. In your item view model you add a method called GetTemplateId() which returns the ID (string) of the template that should be used (based on internal parameters). The new PlayingCardsExample and GameMenuExample scenes demonstrates thhis feature.
Performance Improvements - Improved load and initialization performance. The views should take up less memory.
