As some people are quickly finding out, the famed Spartan browser is missing from today’s Windows 10 build 10041. However, just because Spartan isn’t present in the release today, that does not mean that it isn’t being worked on furiously by the IE team.

In a post on the IE blog site, the team covers some of the improvements they have achieved in the rendering engine department for the Windows 10 Technical Preview. Much of their updates come by way of addressing user feedback from the Windows Insider program. The new engine features now include:

As the IE team was attempting to shift to the ‘newer’ release cadence of the entire OS, some new features have been either been omitted or partially implemented. Insiders will find these partially implemented features are under active development and as such, will be worked on and released over the preview process of Windows 10.

If you had your heart set on testing out Spartan today, unfortunately, you will have to wait until upcoming builds. Insiders can however play around with the features made available to the rendering engine in today’s build release.
