The feature set got beefed up with the following: (http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2015/04/01/winjs-4-preview.aspx):
- Universal experiences: UI controls will scale or translate among various devices without having to go through significant rewrites.
- Addition of controls: ContentDialog, SplitView, AutoSuggestBox and ToolBar controls are now available; Hub and Pivot controls and other controls are updated.
- AngularJS Support: An AngularJS-WinJS wrapper allows WinJS-originated code to be used in AngularJS projects.
- ListView Improvements: "ListView is a signature control for WinJS," according to the Windows blog. As such, its capabilities have been streamlined to work almost identically from mouse- to touch-enable device: multi-selection, lists in alternating stripes, progressive loading of elements in a list, to name a few.
