14 DAY TRIAL // Mac, Windows and Linux users can now download Google Chrome version 6.0.472.22, a Dev Channel update that features cosmetic changes, fixed problems with SSL connections through HTTP proxies, as well as a few unresolved issues, as revealed in the changelog posted by Jason Kersey, of the Google Chrome development team.
The latest Chrome Dev Channel update was posted Wednesday, August 4, 2010 | 17:26, according to the Chrome blog. “The Chrome Dev Channel has been updated to 6.0.472.22 for all platforms. It includes the following changes,” Kersey wrote yesterday. For all supported platforms, Chrome 6.0.472.22 delivers UI Updates, stability Fixes, and resolved problems with SSL connections through HTTP proxies, Kersey said.
Touching the Windows front only, a patch has been implemented for downloaded files being saved with double extension (ex: file.arj.arj). Known issues are also listed, as mentioned above. By not specifying which platforms are affected, we could conclude that these issues need to be addressed on both Mac and Windows, as well as Linux installments of the browser.
One issue is described as follows: “Launching Chrome after installing may not work correctly if other browsers are running and set as default.” The second concerns a crash when dragging and dropping large files. As usual, the svn log of all revisions holds more details about additional changes.

A note about this Chrome release
Google Chrome is a free and easy to use browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, easier and safer. This release is not appropriate for general consumer use. Several features are unavailable at this time. "Download this only if you are a developer or take great pleasure in incomplete, unpredictable, and potentially crashing software," the Chrome development team says.
