Karlston Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Microsoft is pausing Edge Dev and Beta releases for a couple of weeks Typically, Microsoft releases its weekly Edge Dev builds early in the week, and if you're an Edge Insider with a keen eye, you might have noticed that there wasn't one this week. The company clarified some things today, including that it's pausing updates in the Dev and Beta channels for two weeks. The Canary channel will continue to get daily builds. According to the announcement, this change is being made to align with the Chromium Project's release schedule. There's no surprise there, as it's the same reason that Edge 82 was skipped. It stands to reason that if you build a Chromium browser, you're going to stick to the Chromium release schedule. The firm said that it will resume its usual schedule beginning on the week of July 13. Obviously, that means we'll be back to getting our regular weekly Dev builds. It's unclear why the Beta channel is meant to be inactive until then, since it should be inactive anyway. The last Edge Beta update was on June 2, and with its every six weeks cadence, the next update shouldn't be until at least July 14 anyway.

aum Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 No updates in the next two weeks, Microsoft says Redmond-based software giant Microsoft has recently announced that it’s pausing some updates for Microsoft Edge browser in order to align with the Chromium release schedule. The new Edge version runs on the Chromium engine, the same that’s powering Google Chrome, and the company is now trying to sync releases for a more seamless approach going forward. This week, the company announced that it’s suspending the rollout of Microsoft Edge Dev, Beta, and stable updates for the next two weeks, which means that users who are getting builds as part of these channels shouldn’t receive any improvements. On the other hand, the Canary builds will continue to be shipped normally, the company says. Microsoft Edge for Windows and macOS As part of its current release schedule, Microsoft Edge Canary is being updated on a daily basis, while the Dev build is refreshed every week. The beta channel receives new updates every six weeks. “To stay aligned with the Chromium Project's release schedule, we do not have any planned Dev, Beta, or Stable releases for the next two weeks. However, Canary will continue to receive updates every weekday. Starting the week of July 13th, we'll resume our typical release cadence, with updates coming to Dev weekly and Beta every 6 weeks,” Microsoft says. The migration to the Chromium engine allowed Microsoft to bring Edge browser to non-Windows platforms too, including macOS. Furthermore, the software giant is currently working on a Linux version of the browser, but an ETA isn’t yet available. The changes announced here, however, concern both Windows and macOS builds, as Microsoft synchronizes all releases. On Windows 10 computers, the stable version of Microsoft Edge can be serviced via Windows Update, as the application has become the new default browser on the operating system.
