A small update for JAWS 18 fixes some reported issues with Outlook 365 and Microsoft Edge.
The changelog for this update is short, but these bugs are likely important if you use one of the affected pieces of software. The version fixes some crashes with the Microsoft Edge browser and the reading of autocomplete addresses in Office 365. New Research It sources for French users were also added. These changes were also made in the JAWS 2018 Public Beta 2 which was posted earlier.
Here's the short and sweet changelog for the update, which is free for current JAWS 18 users.
