Alongside the development of Docking/MDI vNext for WPF, we have been working on porting our WinRT/XAML Controls to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP). This is a full port of our existing controls available for the WinRT/XAML platform, but made for UWP and Windows 10 app development.
We are currently looking for beta testers for these controls. If you would like to participate in beta testing, please contact our support address.

We've spent the last several months working intensely on completely rebuilding the internals of our market-leading WPF Docking/MDI product. This project is called "Docking/MDI vNext" and keeps the same general API surface, while providing even more advanced features in every area of the product, evolving it into a true best-of-breed docking tool window and MDI functionality solution.
Great news… after several months of development and testing, Docking/MDI vNext is now out of beta and considered complete! Check out our recent blog posts to see a list of several of the major features that are included in this new version.
The updates we made will be released as part of our WPF Controls 2016.1 offering that will likely officially roll out live in January or early February. We'll have a full summary of the new features on the blog then.
If you would like to get a preview build of 2016.1 and start working with everything now, please write our support address. The major Docking/MDI vNext updates are considered code complete and stable at this point. We have new and updated samples and documentation, updated Prism 6.1 compatibility, and a lot more. The documentation gives detail on all new features and any breaking changes you might encounter. We'd love to get some more users including it their apps and giving us some final feedback before a public release.

New maintenances of our WPF, Silverlight, and WinRT/XAML controls have been released and are now available for download.
These releases mostly focus on minor feature additions and bug fixes as we prepare to start work on our 2016.1 versions. See these announcement posts for the detailed list of enhancements and updates:

A couple weeks ago we began the beta testing process for Docking/MDI vNext and thus far, it's been going very well. The product has proven to be very stable and only a handful of minor tweaks and adjustments have been needed. At this point, the product is considered feature-complete for its first shipping version.
We've been spending time during this beta testing period improving some samples and adding/updating lots of product documentation. There are an enormous number of new features in vNext, so we want to make sure we cover everything.
Our plan is to launch final 2015.1 version maintenance releases next week and then start transitioning internally to 2016.1 codebases. Then we'll begin swapping in Docking/MDI vNext in place of the classic Docking/MDI product and will get all the related samples, documentation, etc. merged and ready to go.

We've been posting on our blog about many of the major new features coming your way in vNext. We're pleased to announce that all of those features are now code-complete and we are preparing for a private beta test.
We already have received numerous beta tester requests. If you have written us, we will be contacting you in the next several days!
If you are an existing customer and haven't yet contacted us about being a beta tester, please write our support address, tell us how you plan to use the vNext beta in your applications, and we'll get you signed up into the beta program. We look forward to hearing from you!
