Dev Channel - Weekly Updates?
Darrell Shannon Thank you for your patience with our first Dev channel update. As Eric_Lawrence mentioned, we did take our time with the first update. We have since pushed our first update and everyone should have been notified that the update is ready for install. We expect this process to be smoother in the future. As always, let us know how you feel about the job we are doing.
Elliot Kirk So just to plan myself, all Dev releases will happen on Fridays?

cbomtempo - That would seem a reasonable deduction but alas, here it is Friday and no update! So it would seem that weekly or every seven days means nothing in reality.
Elliot Kirk - No problem with patience. However, clear insight into what we can really expect as far as a schedule for updates would be great. If the intent really is weekly, then a posting here on why the delay and when to actually expect the next update would be great.
Otherwise, we are In-The-Darkers rather than Insiders.

If you're really champing at the bit to get new builds, the Canary channel is where you want to be.- cbomtempoApr 26, 2019Iron Contributor
Eric_Lawrence Not really champing at the bit to get new builds, but trying to understand what to expect from weekly builds, so I can plan myself to update the browser and look at the changes.
Based on the last 2 releases I guess it's safe to assume that we'll get a new Dev release every Friday morning PST.

Darrell Shannon I would guess, if it happens on every friday, it would happen at the end of friday, around 4 PM -07:00 UTC (Pacific Daylight Saving Time) - At the time I write this, I can see that it is just 06:24 AM in Redmond 🙂

Rahsna Asurac - The update was available bright and early last Friday, so anticipating the same would not be unreasonable. Fairly sure the process is queued up and a bit more automated than waiting on Fred to make it into work in Redmond and press the button.
