UX builds to get some updates ( new tab page and updated download manager ) and finally Nightlies and UX build will run well on Win8 as of today.. :D

Looking forward to the new conditional forward button whenever that makes it into the nightlies. Running pretty smooth again without any issues or annoyances since the awesomebar arrow key nagivation bug got fixed last week.

The conditional forward button is in the Windows and Linux nightly builds.

it's not on the "nightly" UX, only in the "hourly" UX:

Guess I'm gonna create a new profile and try it out when it lands tomorrow. I haven't used the UX builds in a while since changes were happening so slowly and not too long ago one dev or contributor mentioned that it's not a good idea to share profiles between Nightly and UX for reasons I cannot recall. I'll stop being lazy now because this looks promising.

It's still very much a work in progress, but it looks like they're going in the right direction. What they now have in the hourlies appears to be somewhat of a "live" preview of where they're going. It already looks way better than what was going on with the previous attempt of the new tab page.

That would be nice. I've seen PPA's for all the other channels but not ux.

I installed UX today and afaik it automatically updates without a PPA. It's like in Windows (when you go to Help > About UX) it check for updates.

Any chance of that new tab page hitting nightly soon? Or should I just change over to UX? (it has download manager as well right?)

I don't know. It's clearly not done yet. I'm getting tired of these twitter tumbnails. And yes, the download manager has been here on the UX side for a while.

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
