New features and changes[edit | edit source]
Internet Explorer 11[edit | edit source]
This build contains an early version of Internet Explorer 11. At first glance, the app seems to have no differences from Internet Explorer 10. Upon opening up inspect element though, there is a new addition to the "Browser Mode" section, called IE11. This doesn't bring much improvements, however it is slightly different compared to IE10's engine.
Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
- The Earth and Flowers theme retains the display names as seen in Windows 8 RTM while using the older wallpaper set found in late development builds of the aforementioned operating system.
- The evaluation grace period timer is visible on the watermark at all times.
