• • • • 2. Bug fix: TabItems containing other TabControl would not allow setting the selected item other than the first element. Code change: Populate the inner TabControl as soon as the outer TabControl is bound to a new data source. This ensures the inner TabControl’s tree is available to select any element, not just the first one. It works in conjunction with SkipLoad property. New: Allow new TabItem to be inserted at any specified index, not just at last position.
