Introduction of support for SHA-3 Microsoft announced that since this release, it has added support for SHA-3 hash function series and SHA-3 derived functions (SHAKE, cSHAKE, KMAC). SHA-3 series algorithms are the latest standardized hash functions developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Supported SHA-3 HMAC algorithms: HMAC-SHA3-256, HMAC-SHA3-384, HMAC-SHA3-512

Supported SHA-3 derivation algorithms: extensible output functions (XOF) (SHAKE128, SHAKE256), customizable XOF (cSHAKE128, cSHAKE256), and KMAC (KMAC128, KMAC256, KMACXOF128, KMACXOF256).

Changes and improvements [widgets] begin to introduce animation icons for widgets on the taskbar. The animation triggers when the user hovers or clicks the entry point of the widget taskbar, or when a new widget announcement is displayed on your taskbar. Currently, only a few weather and financial icons are supported.

[search on the taskbar] once you can access the new Bing, the search box on the taskbar will contain buttons to open the Bing chat experience in Edge.

[file Manager] when a large number of files are sent to the Recycle Bin at a time in File Explorer, these changes should significantly improve the performance of the Compute phase.

Microsoft officials stressed once again in the blog post that they would not take the initiative to provide update logs. CTOnews.com attached the relevant introduction as follows:

The Win11 version of the Canary channel is updated very quickly and is usually pushed as soon as the compilation is complete. This means that there is not much time to complete validation and write update logs before sending it to Insider.

There may be major problems with the Canary channel version, causing the device to fail to work properly, or even in rare cases to reinstall the system. The log content we provide for Canary channel is relatively limited, and we will not publish detailed blog posts for each version. We will focus on it only when new features appear.
