A new version of Edge has been released by Microsoft and is available for all supported platforms. In addition to the new features that everyone can try, there is a big change from the company.
Starting with the Microsoft Edge version 83, the company from Redmond begins to uses a progressive mood for the browser on the fixed channel.
The concept of progressive mood may be new to some, but we have all known it for a long time. Let's try to understand what it is and why Microsoft uses it.
First of all, the progressive mood (or progressive rollouts) means that not all will be able to users have some new stable version of Microsoft Edge on day one. Instead of pushing the update to everyone, Microsoft makes each new version from version 83 onward gradually available on Appliances of the whole world.
Once the release begins, Microsoft begins to collects comments to determine the reliability of the Edge update. If all goes well, then the company can move on to the next phase of the release and make the update available on more devices. If this does not happen and some devices are having problems, then the company may suspend the release to prevent problems on more computers.
Yes it is the same marketing strategy that the company uses for the new ones feature updates of Windows 10. Devices start receiving Windows 10 updates gradually as Microsoft analyzes them telemetry data, προσπαθώντας να επιλύσει ότι παρουσιάζεται.
The progressive distribution system is available in Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and Windows 10.
The release of new fixed updates Microsoft Edge can therefore take several days. However, the release times will be much shorter for each upcoming security update.
