@Eric_Lawrence (a Microsoft employee on the Microsoft Tech Community) gave us some information about Dev Channel weekly updates in the thread "Dev Channel - Weekly Updates?" a few minutes ago.
Because this topic has been popping up in several threads, I thought it would be useful to bring it to the forefront in by opening a new conversation.
Dev Channel - Weekly Updates?
@Eric_Lawrence replied to Rahsna Asurac 30m ago
Generally, yes, you should expect an ~weekly update for the Dev builds, although it could slip a bit here and there depending on regressions coming from Canary.
Having said that, this first Dev build is a bit special and I believe the plan is that the first weekly update will be skipped. Weekly update cadence should begin soon.
That's the information we've all been speculating about.

@Dennis5mile I believe that the changelog would be on the order of ~8000 changelists, which makes it pretty impractical to give a useful list (Although the tool at https://omahaproxy.appspot.com will generate one for the platform itself if you really want it).
I believe there will be a list of "highlights" somewhere.

For those interested, my desktop just (4:45 pm US Central) updated to Dev Build 75.0.131.0. I'll do the two laptops later tonight or tomorrow. The update process took a minute or two and went smoothly. So go forth without fear.

Hi everybody. I updated Edge about 2 hours ago (21h15 GMT), and it worked fine.
Initial comments/question:
On the tool bar, everything works well (zoom buttons, rotate, fit to width, print, save)
By the way, I still have an issue with Youtube videos playing (poor quality, judders, refreshes nefore continuing. Other video apps, even live streaming are fine. Any ideas for a fix, or is this work in progress?
Cheers, have a great Easter weekend everyone!

I am glad that the update process has been going smoothly. We took our time, and weren't very upfront about it. For this, we apologize. We are still learning, and I hope that things will go smoothly again next week when we update the Dev channel.
