Microsoft has released yesterday a new preview release for Windows 10 Mobile. It aligns with the recent 10586.122 deployed on computers. But unlike previous builds, it does not go through the Fast Ring.
In our news on 10586.122 cumulative update Windows 10 for PC and tablets , we indicated that a variant for Mobile declination system n ‘was probably not far away. It took 24 hours to Microsoft to push the same version to smartphone . Only this time, there is a difference: the build fails in the Fast Ring, but only in Slow and Release Preview
Many small improvements
10586,122. contains many general improvements. It generally includes the improvements of the PC version, but includes other more specific, particularly on the support of kanji via Continuum, generating thumbnails for videos in portrait format, on some network connection sharing, synchronization emails if Wi-Fi network via a captive portal, autonomy thanks to optimizations on some background process or the overall reliability.
Please note, it is indeed a build reserved for those who are always on the main development branch, not on Redstone. All former smartphone can not test the latter are eligible.
Migration Windows 10 Mobile: a “hope disappointed”
The arrival of this build has in any case triggered some hope. In its announcement, Microsoft stresses in particular the migration from Windows Phone 8.1 , and for good reason: those who have not yet jumped not the Insider program can do it now, choose the Ring Release Preview and directly test a stable version of Windows 10 Mobile.
the previous build, stamped 10586.107 had already asked its dissemination to all users Windows Phone 8.1 . For despite what was announced, former smartphone have not yet migrated to Windows 10 Mobile, unless enrolled in the test program Insider.
But as the manager Brandon LeBlanc said on Twitter it no special meaning in this direct arrival and Slow Release Preview. He explains that Windows 10 Mobile prerelease producing two separate branches, it was necessary to define what Rings would be used. The division is as follows: everything related to Redstone will go in the Fast, while developments of the current branch will be in the Slow and Release Preview
The new distribution firmware onto the track.
today is also the new firmware distribution system must enter the arena. Now all smartphone supported will be able to receive new firmware without being bound to particular versions of the system.
This is an important change that was announced last week. Microsoft had however need to upgrade its distribution infrastructure updates. Unlike what happened so far, the firmware will therefore be pushed to the appropriate devices when available, not just for Lumia. In fact, all those supported by the Windows Device Recovery Tool are concerned
