Windows 10: Previewing our first platform updates for Microsoft Edge

Brink · Aug 17, 2015

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.

Print Preview doesn't seem to work in Windows 10 with Edge and Internet Explorer

I've used Windows 7Pro for years. When I open web pages and want to print some of it, I always clicked Print Preview first. I just bought a Windows 10 Pro computer because Windows 10 is Microsoft's newest and best. But in Edge I can't even find Print
Preview. When I open a site in Internet Explorer and click Print Preview it only shows
"As laid our on screen". That doesn't show the whole page I want, so for years I've clicked "Only the selected frame" and gotten what I wanted to print. That doesn't work in either Edge or IE. Do I need to keep using my
old computer with Windows 7 or is there a way to get Print Preview to work in Windows 10 as least as well as it did in Windows 7. Is this fixable or was my decision to buy Windows 10 a mistake?

Linux version?

Great to hear, that so many of you are interested about Linux version. Story isn't so straightforward. Surely, Nokia Ovi Suite UI is done with Qt and that's easy to make run in other platforms. But right now, our connectivity
platform, how UI connects to device, isn't yet done with Qt or doesn't support cross-platform.

Luckily, we're currently working on that, making our connectivity platform cross-platform. Our first priority is to get software out into Mac. After that, we can further evaluate Linux.

Cheers, Samuli
