Edge Dev Branch update?
Cameron_Bush NicolSD tomscharbach: Hi All, I hear and understand the frustration. We decided to take this first Dev channel update slowly to make sure that all of our systems were running properly. We pushed our first Dev channel update (version 75.0.131.0) live yesterday, and by now everyone should have received a notification that the update is pending. You will also notice that it was released without any release notes. We have heard the frustration around the lack of changelog information. We had originally intended to do change updates with the Beta and Stable channels only. We then received overwhelming feedback from our community that they expect changelogs at the Dev and Canary channel level as well. We are trying to rearrange our feature schedule around to bring the systems online that we need to produce the changelogs on a daily and weekly basis. In the meantime, we are trying to get a manual process together to release something for at least the Dev channel. We failed on this first update, and are going to try harder in the future.
Elliot Kirk -- Thanks Elliot but you failed to address my main question: What do I do after every release? Not check if a bug I reported has been fixed and not report it if it's still there? What if at some point the programmers believe they have fixed the problem but it's ongoing for me? or a bunch of other users. There must be communication from both sides or else you're going to end up with the same kind of problems we've been witnessing with Win 10. When the March 2018 version came out, it was totally unusable on all three of my computers. It kept reloading my desktop every few seconds. I reported that two weeks before the official release. And yet, they went ahead and released a version with a very nasty bug that totally rendered Windows useless for the users. I would have thought MS would have learned its lesson on the importance of communication with beta testers after the flops like the deleted user files. But what do I know? You guys are the ones with the billions of dollars while I live on less than $100,000 a year in total family income.
Don't get me wrong, but there is nothing to get personal, But seriously Microsoft is one of the tech giants, these basic things like you addressed and I've done and still doing with many many other testers should have been fixed before launching the product....We are supposed to test the browser, but what we are doing is asking for the basic things like changelog [wtf*]...MS should take this seriously, we are complaining about it for a a long time, still there are no improvements....only statements, statements and statements. I'm done with this, and it's microsoft's fault.Deleted -- I did not aim to make it personal but I was on Elliot's list of people he was addressing in his last comment. I have been asking for instructions from MS. How more cooperative can I be? Yet they just keep saying changes are coming. So what do I do in the meanwhile? I am asking for clarifications so that I don't waste my time and their time. But I seem to be wasting my time asking them how best to help them.
I certainly understand your frustrations.
Sorry if this is something that was already answered or if this is something that hasn't been worked out yet but will the changes be posted at this site or will there be a separate site or email.Elliot Kirk
- Hi SCook1280, we are still working that out. TBH, I don't think that this site has the right layout to make the sequential release of changelogs successful. I am only guessing, but I would expect that they would show up on the Microsoft Edge Insider website or somewhere similar to that.
