Microsoft notes on its Windows Experience Blog:

Here are some of the new features you can expect from this latest build:
Swipe navigation in Microsoft Edge: This is one of the most requested features from Insiders and allows you to use swipe gestures to navigate back and forward between visited websites in Edge.
Apps for websites: This new feature allows you to redirect supported sites to open in its app instead of the browser. It’s new, so supported apps are still in progress. You’ll be able to manage them by going to Settings > System > Apps.
Feedback Hub improvements: New improvements include easier-to-find feedback categories based on the title and description entered. This will help make sure your feedback gets to the right Microsoft engineers.
Microsoft also notes that just like Build 14342 for PC, Wi-Fi Sense has been removed. Contrary to reports that Wi-Fi Sense isn’t secure, the team removed it because lack of interest from users. Since no one is using it, the team doesn’t want to waste time supporting it.

Microsoft rolled out a bug fix for this build this week. According to its blog post:
UPDATE 5/18: We are releasing Build 14342.1003 today for Windows Insiders in the Fast ring. This build is exactly the same but with some additional fixes to improve reliability of this build on devices.
