The code name "Project Spartan" ditched in Windows 10 build preview 10158
Microsoft has released 10158 build preview of the Windows 10 for the PC and it includes the new version of company's Edge web browser.This version officially has Edge branding for the first time, ditching the old "Project Spartan" code name.

New Features in the latest version of Microsoft's Edge :
- Background audio playback is now supported.
- Tabs can now be dragged and dropped to a new window.
- Home button is now available.To enable home button goto settings>Advanced Settings and turn on "Show the home button".
- Favorites/bookmarks can be imported from other browsers in Microsoft Edge.
- New customization for the New Tab Page.You can choose to either see top sites and suggested content -or just top sites.
- Password and Form fill support. Edge now can manage your passwords for your favorites websites.
- Theme Choices available:either light or dark.
- Web notes can now be saved to One Note.
- Reading lists now appear on New Tab page.
New thing always comes with some flaws/issues. There are also many issues with new version of Edge. One is that it uses a new app ID that might cause any favorites, cookies, history and reading list items saved in the old "Project Spartan" version to be lost. Microsoft says users who want to keep them should perform a back-up before updating Windows 10 to new build 10158. It also adds :
"When using a Windows locale settings other than en-US, users may have difficulty accessing about:flags. To workaround this issue, temporarily change your locale to en-US and set your desired flags. Your flags will bee preserved even if you change your locale again afterward".
