+# LiveCode Builder Host Library
+## Widget library
+
+A new expression `my pixel scale` has been implemented. Use the widget's
+pixel scale to calculate the size of an image to draw. For example,
+when drawing an image to `my bounds` create an image sized using
+`my width * my pixel scale, my height * my pixel scale` otherwise the image will be
+stretched to match the pixel scale. The pixel scale is a per-window/screen property
+so may change if the user moves a window to a new screen.
