Update 8.0.10211.204, aka Portico, has appeared on my HTC 8X screen this morning. Unfortunately, I am unable to download it right now as it requires a WiFi connection. I assume it must be a pretty big update as it absolutely refuses to download using my data connection. Microsoft has published the change log to the Windows Phone 8 update history page.
Here's what is included in the update:
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.
The ability to add multiple recipients to text messages and WiFi prioritization are nice and welcome additions.
