• Support for tintColor and blurRadius Image properties
• Many other bug-fixes, additions, and reliability improvements

Deprecated

• The acceptsKeyboardFocus property has been deprecated in favor of the standard focusable property

Breaking Changes

• You will need to generate a new project using react-native-windows-init when upgrading from earlier versions of react-native-windows
• Layout behavior has changed to better match Android/iOS. This can be configured using QuirkSettings (see #5140)
