New Dev Home Preview app version 0.4 released for Windows 11

Happy August! We have another release of Dev Home for you to try. This release updates Dev Home Preview to version 0.4 and the Dev Home GitHub extension to version 0.4 as well. You can install Dev Home from the Microsoft Store or from the GitHub releases page. For this release, we focused on improving accessibility and quality. The next big feature we’re actively working on is integrating Azure DevOps and creating Azure DevOps widgets for Dev Home, so stay tuned for that!

Accessibility improvements​

You can now navigate widgets with the keyboard using Tab and the left and right arrow keys.

Narrator will now appropriately read the names of available widgets in the Add Widgets dialog.

The navigation experiences between scan and non-scan modes are now aligned.

The banner is now scrollable on 200% zoom.

Miscellaneous improvements​

Dev Home now indicates if it’s run as administrator.

Widget charts now use SVG to render.

The Restore apps description now includes the last modified date.

Close buttons are now consistently styled throughout the UI.

Bug fixes​

The banner text will be aligned appropriately in RTL languages.

Dev Home should now remain responsive after the file picker dialog is closed.

Dev Home is brought to the foreground when a second instance is opened with redirection.

Cheers!​
