This latest build brings improvements to the Games & Apps section, which has undergone a radical overhaul for the upcoming update.
Most of the builds that shipped this week revolved around bug fixes and polish, with the exception of July 12th's build, which allowed Xbox One Preview members to disable Cortana in favor of the legacy Kinect voice commands.
Here are the details of the latest update tagged rs1_xbox_rel_1608.160714-2120, as detailed on the Xbox One Preview forums. It should begin rolling out at 6:00 PM PDT.
