Question

Is there any plans/roadmap to release edge canary,beta,stable for linux version?

Just asking because some of my opensource project have stalled. If there are no plans atm let me know so I can release update for edge dev channel only.

PR: https://github.com/shirshak55/edge-paths/pull/6

Thanks

It's definitely not going to stay in Dev channel forever, though there is no mention of it in roadmaphttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Edge&nbsp;&nbsp;

shirshak55&nbsp; &nbsp; Microsoft has announced nothing about a timetable for moving from Dev to Stable, or for that matter, about a timetable for Edge-Linux feature development, period.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;The Dev version is very basic at this point, stable enough but essentially bling as opposed to a tool for getting work done -- for example, MSA sign-in is unavailable and nothing syncs.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;I'm thinking several months rather than several weeks, but that might be nothing more than my frustration speaking.&nbsp;Please note that neither the previous comment nor this comment are from Edge Team members or Microsoft employees.&nbsp; Both are speculation by forum members not involved in the project; neither comment is a response from Microsoft or should be taken as such.

tomscharbach&nbsp;it's not a speculation when I said there is no mention of it in the road maphttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Edge&nbsp;plus, no one claimed to be from Microsoft team members, you're the only one talking about it, which is weird.&nbsp;

HotCakeX&nbsp;"[P]lus, no one claimed to be from Microsoft team members, you're the only one talking about it, which is weird."&nbsp;The observation was prompted by shirshak55&nbsp;'s posting this comment on https://github.com/shirshak55/edge-paths/pull/6, posted after your comment on this thread and before I commented:&nbsp;Because shirshank55 was using this thread as authority for a decision concerning the Github project, I thought it appropriate to let him/her/they and others involved in that project know that neither you nor I speak for Microsoft.&nbsp; &nbsp;I did not mean to ruffle your feathers.&nbsp; My observation was an attempt (however weird) to avoid misunderstanding or misinterpretation of your comments and/or mine.&nbsp; Please feel free to report my&nbsp; comment to the moderators if you think it inappropriate.&nbsp;

HotCakeX&nbsp;"[I]t's not a speculation when I said there is no mention of it in the road maphttps://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Edge&nbsp;True.&nbsp; But it also doesn't answer&nbsp;shirshak55&nbsp;'s question.&nbsp; The roadmap doesn't mention anything about Edge-Linux development.&nbsp; It provides no information whatsoever about Microsoft's timetable for Edge-Linux development or when a Stable version might be forthcoming.&nbsp; The roadmap, in terms of the question asked, is non-information that could easily be misinterpreted as meaningful information.
