I wish they would post the entire bug list of fixes. The insiders are smart enough to discern it. Why would I take 10586.71 if you only fixed the 10 things Gabe Tweeted?
New build 10586.71 Anyone take it? Feedback?

Any number of reasons...
* Simplicity
* Some issues may only affect certain configurations (anyone not part of that configuration would then rant/rave/complain endlessly)
* Some issues might expose or confirm intellectual property details that Microsoft would rather not be so public at this point
* Some issues might be preparatory in nature for feature that may or may not appear in the future
* Some things might be there for diagnostic reasons
* Security fixes may expose the potential for vulnerabilities
The build gets taken because it's Everest - because it's there.

Ok, insiders don't care about security fixes. We want to know if they fixed the crappy edge tab bugs, batter drain by edge, unread email count bugs, slowness in going back to the start page, etc...
Slowness in going back to the start page? I don't have that with my 950 XL, how long have you had it happening?
(If you don't actually have one, my bad, but you did post in the 950 XL forums)
I installed .71 last night. So far no issues, battery drain is slower than before (coming from .29), but of course that's just after half a day of use and right after a reboot. I tested Bluetooth connections to my car and Band 2, so far didn't notice much difference but it would take several days on .29 before my BT connections started degrading. Not noticing any speed improvement, but capacitive screen responsiveness is better.
WiFi from standby is still painfully slow (it's like the adapter takes a while to wake up). Also notice bogus SIM data usage (for example it says SIM2 has 9MB of use, but there is no SIM card in SIM2; also says 178MB use from SIM1 but AT&T says 54MB).
I personally don't rely on the list of bugfixes for each release because often the bugs I'm looking for aren't really fixed. I prefer to rely on community input where people who were having the issue before report on whether it's fixed for them, and to report on whether regressions or new bugs are introduced.

Really? On .29 and I have turn by turn prompts on my 2013 buick enclave, and various rental cars (toyota, mazda, ford)... actually I'm driving a ford fiesta this week and noticed I didn't get prompt but I'm not sure yet if it's something funny I set up with this car. It was in a different lang for starters

seems faster on my 950xl, another 950xl owner mentioned the same to me earlier today. He noticed the speed moments after the update was finished,

Opening pdf with edge is better now in terms of appearance. Contact support app now takes you directly to surface support page. Improved speed in terms of phone performance especially when opening apps most especially when opening messaging and people apps. battery usage has also improved. i am happy

Running .71 on my main laptop, 640 and 950xl, all seems good, no crashing or other annoyances thus far

I would really love to know if Cortana bluetooth in the car works correctly now.
As in does she read and allow you to respond to texts properly?
Currently (.29) she works 1 time. If I use her to respond to a text then after that she stops working properly until I sever the bluetooth connection (turn off car or phone) and reconnect.

No update here yet.
Are we still messing with this "rollout" to different parts of the world. I'm in Texas?
No configuration update arrived this week either. Went to production, rebooted reinstalled WI and selected fast, rebooted twice. Still no updates.

Battery Saver settings were reset to off when I updated. OS seems more responsive and battery seems to last longer. Lumia 930
Upgraded to .71 on my 640 this morning. First thing I noticed heading out to work the my commute crashes upon opening, and seems like about half my apps immediately close upon starting . :unhappy:
Turned off phone, on - no change. Tried to uninstall one app, and reinstall as a test and "uninstalled" app is still claimed to be installed, so won't reinstall a new copy (maybe have to turn phone off again to completely uninstall it?) This will be very frustrating if I have to reinstall all these broken apps! :eck:
edit: yep, had to power off phone to completely uninstall app. Once reinstalled, the test app appears to work ok

Couldn't wait. I ended up reflashing with WDRT as this happened with .36 where no updates were found 1-2 days after being available.
Mine been fine, bluetooth hasnt missed a beat for me. had BT keyboard, BT mouse, band2 and wireless speaker all going while it was connected to my display dock.
trialling now with a 5GHz wireless network. hopefully no random reboots.
it seems faster, and it seems the battery lasts longer.
my 925 and wifeys 1520 seem to run even better with .71
