Samsung introduced the Galaxy XCover Pro, an enterprise-ready smartphone built for business.
The Galaxy XCover Pro allows users to tailor their experience with two programmable keys to create custom actions with one click, simplifying things like opening a scanner, turning on a flashlight or launching a CRM app without having to swipe through apps, the company explained.
The phone is also protected by Samsung Knox, a defense-grade multi-layered security platform, which provides users with security features such as hardware-backed protection, data isolation and encryption and boot and run-time protection.
The full details on the new phone are available here.
C++ inliner improvements
Visual Studio 2019 versions 16.3 and 16.4 include improvements to the C++ inliner such as the ability to inline some routines after they have been optimized.
Modules that make heavy use of Eigen will see a significant throughput improvement, according to Microsoft. The optimizer takes up to 25-50% less time for such repros.
Microsoft added that depending on your application, users may see minor code quality improvements and/or major build-time (compiler throughput) improvements.

The beta of Apache HttpComponents improves the handling of illegal or invalid requests on the server side and fixes a number of defects in HTTP/2 protocol code found since the last release, according to the Apache Software Foundation.
