Update notices

User settings

Due to major changes to the available settings, your personal settings won't be remembered between ChangeWindows 4.9.2 and 4.10.0. If you like using the dark UI and/or your own accent, you'll have to set it up again.

ChangeWindows Apps

In ChangeWindows 4.10, we are deprecating the HWA integration for our apps. This means that while the apps will continue to work as they have in the past for now, a future version of ChangeWindows will remove app integration (like Cortana, custom titlebars, etc.). This might already happen with ChangeWindows 4.11.

Content

Fixed issues

  • Fixes an issue where vNext changelogs would search for 99999.md instead of 99999.99999.md, as the new convention since 4.9.1 describes.

ChangeWindows 4.9.1

ChangeWindows 4.9.1 is a minor maintenance update, mostly consisting out of code clean-ups, framework updates and improvements. 4.9.1 is the first time we've done a real point-release since ChangeWindows 2.

With 4.9.1, we also depart from our monthly update cycle and will update the website when we feel like we've got something nice to share. This should provide us with more resources to spend on building ChangeWindows 5. But of course, we also have plenty more coming to ChangeWindows 4 (like a redesigned home, progessive web app support, and more).

Content

  • "Release Preview" will now be shortened to "Preview" instead of "Release".

Management
