Windows 10: Microsoft To-Do app updated with new features on all platforms

WinLatest · Feb 12, 2019

Microsoft today has pushed out a new update for its Microsoft To-Do App. The update has been released for users on Windows 10, Android and iOS users. The latest update brings some different new features for users on all platforms.

The latest update to the To-Do for Windows 10 has now added some new emojis to the emoji picker. To find the new emojis users would need to press the Windows Key + . to open the Windows emoji keyboard.

Microsoft has also added Cortana Integration to the Microsoft To-Do application. For users to take advantage of this option you would need to add your Outlook or Office 365 account to Cortana and digital assistant will add new reminders and tasks for you.

iOS and Android update

For iOS users, Microsoft has now made changes to the sidebar which now appears in full screen on iPhone. iOS users will also be able to swipe to leave or delete a list directly from the sidebar on both iPhone and iPad after the latest Microsoft To-Do update.

The Android users have been for a long time missed the option to add file attachments. With the latest update, Microsoft is now allowing users to attach a photo from the phone directly.

You will also now find a new To-Do tile in the notification bar which allows users to easily create tasks. This is available only for users who are using phones with Android 8.0 and newer

You can also add due dates, reminder & recurrence for your created task with the new entry bar. For users with small screen Android devices and big font size, Microsoft has now made sure that the list names are no longer cut off from the screen.

If you are using the Microsoft To-Do application on any of the above three platforms, you can head to the apps store and download the update.

Previewing our first platform updates for Microsoft Edge

Yesterday, we moved Microsoft Edge Dev out of beta, and we are now directing all traffic from status.modern.ie to our new Platform Status page, which has significant improvements to performance and clarity. Today, we are excited to give the first look at our initial wave of feature updates to the Microsoft Edge web platform, starting with the following new features now in development for EdgeHTML.

New Microsoft Edge platform features in development

CSS

CSS Mutability Pseudo-classes

:read-write

:read-only

CSS Range Pseudo-classes

:in-range

out-of-range

CSS initial keyword

CSS unset keyword

File APIs

a[download] attribute

Forms

input type=text selectionDirection

input type=time

input type=datetime-local

<meter> element

oninvalid event handler for the element document and window

Graphics

Canvas ellipse

Canvas blending modes

<picture> element

SVG external content

These features are in development now and will start to appear soon in preview builds for Windows Insiders prior to being released to the general public. In addition to these new features, several features we previously announced will start to appear in preview builds soon, including:

Extended srcset and sizes

<template> element

WebRTC – Object RTC API

Pointer Lock (Mouse Lock)

Our Platform Status page has been updated to reflect these announcements – we look forward to sharing preview implementations in the coming weeks!

New roadmap details on Platform Status

In addition to these updates, we’ve also made improvements to Platform Status to address feedback. One of the most common pieces of feedback we have received on Platform Status is that there’s a lack of clarity around items listed as “Under Consideration.” To address this, we are opening our roadmap up even more with new “backlog priority” labels for Status items. Here we will give some insight into where individual technologies fall on our backlog for future releases.

While we can’t always commit to a specific timeframe, you can think of our priority levels as corresponding to:

High – On deck; We hope to begin development in an upcoming iteration

Medium – On our backlog; Development is likely for a future release

Low – Investigating; We are still evaluating the technology. There may be significant spec stabilization, foundational work, or additional community input required before we can begin development

You can see a few examples today at on Platform Status, including:

Shadow DOM (High)

Custom Elements (Medium)

Web Notifications (Medium)

Over the coming weeks, we will be adding these priority labels to the existing set of technologies marked “Under Consideration” on Platform Status, to provide more insight into our plans. We hope that sharing these insights can help developers plan ahead and give a broad sense of when they can expect key technologies to be available in Microsoft Edge. Combined with other vendors’ release status (which we aggregate on Platform Status), this is useful to understand when technologies are or will be broadly interoperable on the web, and safe to build into your sites.

We are eager to hear your feedback on the features above, and encourage you to help us rank platform features by voting on the Microsoft Edge Developer UserVoice! If you have any questions or want to give feedback on these plans, we encourage you to reach out to @MSEdgeDev on Twitter or share your thoughts in the comments below.

Introducing EdgeHTML 13, first platform update for Microsoft Edge

Last week, the first major update for Windows 10 began rolling out to over 110 million devices, including improvements in all aspects of the platform and experience. This update brings Microsoft Edge’s rendering engine to EdgeHTML 13, which Windows Insiders have been previewing for the last few months.

When we first introduced Microsoft Edge as “Project Spartan” back in January, we promised an evergreen browser. This means developers can rely on Microsoft Edge users always having the latest version of the rendering engine, and can expect frequent updates to the platform with new features and standards support. With EdgeHTML 13, we’re excited to deliver a broad set of major new platform features only a few months after the first public release of Microsoft Edge, as an automatic update to all Current Branch customers of Windows 10.

Feature updates in EdgeHTML 13

Back in August, we gave our first peek at our priorities for this release, as well as some longer term goals for future releases. If you have been watching the Microsoft Edge changelog, you may have seen these features lighting up build-by-build in the Insider Program. These updates bring Microsoft Edge to a score of 458 on HTML5Test – an improvement of 56 points in just a few months, and 117 points over Internet Explorer 11.

HTML5Test measures declared support for features defined in the HTML5 specification as well as extensions and related specifications.

Here are the highlights of what’s now supported in EdgeHTML (for a full breakdown, visit the changelog):

CSS

CSS Mutability Pseudo-classes

:read-write

:read-only

CSS Range Pseudo-classes

:in-range

out-of-range

CSS initial keyword

CSS unset keyword

File APIs

a[download] attribute

User Input

input type=text selectionDirection

input type=time

input type=datetime-local

<meter> element

oninvalid event handler for the element document and window

Pointer Lock (Mouse Lock)

Graphics

Canvas ellipse

Canvas blending modes

Extended srcset and sizes (see the associated blog post and demo)

<picture> element (see the associated blog post and demo)

SVG external content

Communication

Object RTC (see the associated blog post and demos)

Tools

Restored support for docking the F12 Developer Tools

Web Components

<template> element (see our blog post on this and other Web Components technologies)

Feature updates in Chakra

In addition to the improvements in EdgeHTML, this release also includes major improvements and new feature support in Chakra, the JavaScript engine powering Microsoft Edge. Major features like asm.js are now enabled by default. With these updates, Microsoft Edge is by a wide margin the highest-scoring desktop browser in the Kangax ES6 compatibility table, which measures support for the component features of ES2015, perhaps the largest update in JavaScript history.

Kangax ES6 scores for Microsoft Edge and other desktop browsers.

In addition, the “Experimental JavaScript features” flag under about:flags now includes experimental support for early ES2016 features, including Async Functions and the Exponentiation operator.

Here’s the full list of the major new features supported in Chakra:

ES2016 Async Functions (behind “Enable experimental JavaScript features” flag)

ES2016 Exponentiation operator (behind “Enable experimental JavaScript features” flag)

asm.js is now enabled by default (previously behind a flag); see our blog post and demo

ES2015 Classes now enabled by default (previously behind a flag)

ES2015 Destructuring now available behind the Experimental JavaScript features flag

Many Windows 10 devices, one web platform

This update marks a special moment for the Windows 10 web platform as we ship the same version of EdgeHTML to all Windows 10 devices: PCs, Windows 10 phones (via the Windows Insider Program), and even Xbox One. Whether it’s adaptive images on phones with the <picture> element and extended srcset, or even in-browser gaming on the Xbox One with WebGL and GamePad API, Microsoft Edge empowers users and developers alike to be confident in a consistent, modern, and powerful experience across devices.

New end-user features in Microsoft Edge

While this blog is focused on developer features, this release also updates the Microsoft Edge app to Microsoft Edge 25, which includes powerful new features like Tab Preview, synced Favorites and Reading List, and wireless multimedia casting for video, audio, and photos. You can learn more about the updates to Microsoft Edge and other Windows apps on the Windows Experience blog.

Tab Preview in Microsoft Edge

This update also includes major security improvements in Microsoft Edge, with industry-leading code integrity enforcement in the Windows kernel, and updates to SmartScreen to protect users from drive-by attacks in the browser. We’ll be exploring each of these features in separate posts soon.

What’s next?

This is just the first step in a journey of delivering Microsoft Edge updates regularly, and we’re excited to get right back to work on our next set of improvements. As always, the Windows Insider Program is the best way to preview our upcoming features early, and we’ll continue to share details on our plans as soon as we begin development. Expect to hear more about our next feature investments and our priorities for 2016 in the coming months. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing what you do with the powerful new capabilities in Microsoft Edge!
