Microsoft releases details of new features in Portico WP8 update




The Portico update for Windows Phone 8 has started rolling out. First, HTC released it for factory unlocked versions of its 8X phone. And now Nokia is pushing it out for some Lumia 920 and 820 devices in North America.

It expected to take a couple of months before everyone on every carrier gets the update.

And Microsoft has now published the official changelog of the update:

Update 8.0.10211.204

Messaging improvements. A great messaging experience is now even better. You can now add multiple recipients at the same time when you send a text message and automatically save unsent text messages as drafts. You can even edit received text messages before you forward them.
Text replies to incoming calls. Can't take a call? Now you can send a prewritten text reply to a caller directly from the call answer screen. It's a nice way to let people know that you're not ignoring them.
Internet Explorer improvements. You can now change your settings to prevent pictures from downloading automatically—an easy way to help keep data usage low. You can also delete selected sites from your browsing history and leave the rest intact.
Wi-Fi connectivity. Got a favorite Wi-Fi network? Windows Phone 8 will now prioritize Wi-Fi connections based on your connection history.
Other improvements. Includes many other improvements to Windows Phone.
This update will be made available at different times, depending on your country or region, mobile operator, and phone model.
