[:pb]Chamado de Redstone 4, a Microsoft estava testando o próximo update para Windows 10 desde 31 de agosto de 2017. Neste tempo, foram lançado 24 preview builds no canal rápido de atualização, mas a Microsoft nunca havia anunciado detalhes sobre como seria chamado ou quando seria lançado. Hoje, a companhia finalmente anunciou o Windows 10 April 2018 Update.
Como esperado, o April 2018 Update contem novas features para o sistema operacional, a mais interessante delas talvez seja a Timeline. A Timelime permite que você volte no tempo para encontrar documentos e arquivos que foram trabalhados anteriormente, bem como versões anteriores dos mesmos.
Algumas novidades do Windows 10 April 2018 Update
Também tivemos melhorias no Microsoft Edge, mais especificamente, que ele agora suporta Progressive Web Apps(PWAs).
Uma feature que pode passar despercebida é chamado de Near Share, que funciona de forma semelhante ao AirDrop da Apple. Ela permite que você compartilhe conteúdo entre computadores com Windows 10. Infelizmente, o Windows Phone não suporta essa features, pois ele não recebeu o April 2018 Update. A Microsoft esta trabalhando para que funcione no iOS e Android, com o mobile Edge e apps como o Photo Companion.
O que mais será notado é o novos elementos do Fluent Design que foram incorporados. Você vai encontrar diferenças no menu iniciar, o app Settings redesenhado, Edge, barra de tarefas e outros.
O Windows 10 April 2018 Update está disponível hoje, 30 de abril para quem utilizar a ferramenta Microsoft Update Assistant ou o Media Creation tool, e será distribuído pelo Windows Update dia 8 de maio.[:en]Codenamed Redstone 4, Microsoft has been testing the next feature update to Windows 10 since August 31, 2017. In that time, there have been 24 Insider Preview builds released to the Fast ring, but Microsoft never actually announced any details about the update, such as what it will be called or when it’s coming.
Today, the company finally announced the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. It’s pretty clear that the naming was a close to last-minute change, since there were previously various references in the OS to it being called the Spring Creators Update.
As you’d expect, the April 2018 Update contains a number of new features for the OS, the most notable of which is Timeline. Timeline allows you to go back in time to find documents and files that you were previously working on, and even find older versions of them.
There are also a number of improvements to Microsoft’s in-house Edge browser; most notably, that it now supports Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). There are already some available right now if you’re on the new feature update, such as the latest version of the Twitter app.
One feature that might fly under the radar a bit is called Near Share, which works similar to Apple’s AirDrop. It allows you to easily share content between Windows 10 PCs. Obviously, Windows phones aren’t supported in this, since there’s no April 2018 Update for mobile devices. Microsoft has been working on getting things like this working on iOS and Android, with its mobile Edge browser and apps like Photos Companion.
Most of what you’ll notice though are new Fluent Design enhancements across the board. While many Fluent Design elements were added in the Fall Creators Update, it’s been taken to a new level with the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. You’ll find more Acrylic and Reveal elements in the Start Menu, the redesigned Settings app, Edge, the taskbar, and more.
The Windows 10 April 2018 Update will be available on Monday, April 30 for those that use Microsoft’s Update Assistant tool or the Media Creation Tool, and – as previously reported by Neowin – it will begin rolling out through Windows Update on May 8.
