Facts about Edge Stable version [+ Link] - And what we know so far
The Stable version of the new Edge browser is publicly available to download from Microsoft servers: https://c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com/c2r/downloadEdge.aspx?ProductreleaseID=Edge&platform=Default&version=Edge&Channel=Stable&language=en Keep Reading, it's not officially available on the front page and for any reason that Microsoft has, they let it stay online and available for us to test and use it. So, this is neither an accident, nor a mistake. there are certain rules and security measures that apply to files on a server and Microsoft employees, probably better than anyone else, know how to make a file secure. Clearly, if Microsoft wanted only their employees to have access to this file, they would have done so long time ago and anyone else would receive an "Access Denied" Error. but as you see there is no such error when accessing that link. The source of that link: it consists of 2 parts https://c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com/c2r/downloadEdge.aspx (which is well known) ?ProductreleaseID=Edge&platform=Default&version=Edge&Channel=Stable&language=en (which is the next part that is called Query String and is very easy to understand if you know that programming language) so you see, nothing unknown or strange about that link, all very simple. If Microsoft did not want people to download it, you would get a message like this after clicking on that link: Reminder: You are able to Uninstall it and the Latest version of Edge (chromium based) Stable is: Version 79.0.309.7 (Official build) (64-bit) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-sysupdate-windows-updates See the screenshots: these were all the facts so far about the stable version of Edge insider, hope it shed some light over the whole idea and hopefully we will learn more from Microsoft employees themselves. Have a nice day!Bug fixes in Microsoft Access - Current Channel Version 2605 (Build 16.0.20026.20118)
Bug Name Issue Fixed Edge Browser Control didn't render PDFs on some machines When the Edge Browser Control was used to display a PDF, on some machines the PDF would not render at all if the registry value "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\Content Type" was missing. Access now provides the missing content type, so the Edge Browser Control can render the PDF. Export to SharePoint failed for tables with both lookup fields and attachment columns When exporting an Access table to a SharePoint list, if the table contained both a lookup field and an attachment column, the export could fail with an error. The export now handles this combination correctly, so the export completes successfully. Conditional Formatting color picker showed a reduced palette in Version 2604 A regression introduced in Version 2604 caused the Conditional Formatting color picker to display a smaller set of color choices than previous versions. The full legacy color palette has been restored. Some Unicode characters displayed incorrectly in objects exported to Excel When exporting an Access object whose name contained certain extended Unicode characters, the resulting file's sheet name displayed the characters incorrectly. These characters are now preserved correctly during export. Power BI Gateway couldn't refresh semantic models from .accdb files Refreshing a Power BI semantic model that connected to a .accdb file via the on-premises gateway could fail with "Unspecified error". Connection setup has been adjusted so the gateway can successfully refresh the model. Monaco SQL view: Ctrl+Z didn't undo Ctrl+Shift+K line deletion In the new Monaco-based SQL editor, pressing Ctrl+Shift+K to delete the current line removed the line, but a subsequent Ctrl+Z would not restore it. Undo now works correctly for this and similar editing operations. Document tab text didn't scale with Windows text-size setting When the Windows display setting for text size was increased, document tab labels and the record navigation bar continued to render at the standard size, while other Access UI scaled correctly. The document tabs and record navigation bar now honor the system text-size setting. Error when editing a Long Text field after a write conflict When a write conflict occurred on a record containing a Long Text field, subsequent attempts to edit the field could fail with an error. The data path now refreshes the cached field values correctly after a conflict so that further edits succeed. Access terminated unexpectedly when reading Edge Browser Control properties in form design view In form design view, retrieving the ReadyState or LocationUrl property on an Edge Browser Control could cause Access to terminate unexpectedly. Both properties now return safely in design view. "Copy" prefix was prepended instead of appended to copied object names When duplicating a database object, Access named the copy "Copy of Form1" instead of "Form1 - Copy". This made copies of related objects sort apart from their originals in the Navigation Pane. Copy-of names now append the suffix, so related objects stay together when sorted alphabetically.Anyone down for Edge logo options?
So is it me or the new Microsoft Edge log not as fun? You know what would be fun? Options. I would love to see a buried settings options for the type of logo we can have. Hell, I think if they give us the option to swap between the Spartan Logo, Edge logo, and New Edge logo that will be fun. I love options and Windows has always been the better bet for it. Let us have fun with one of the most important apps we use on our computers.
