14 DAY TRIAL // Google has posted a new developer update for Chrome, the company’s WebKit-based browser for Mac, Windows and Linux. Today’s release targets testers running the browser on all platforms, with Chrome Frame also getting an update.
For Mac OS X, Windows, and Chrome Frame, the Dev channel has been updated to version 7.0.503.0, Jason Kersey reports for Google.
For those testing Chrome builds on Linux, Chrome is now at version 7.0.503.1.
On the blog dedicated to Google Chrome releases, Kersey points out to just some of the updates included in these recent builds.
For all platforms, IP addresses typed into the omnibox now work when offline.
On the Mac front only, more tweaks have been made, in addition to a polished Wrench menu.
Chrome Frame changes include a number of stability fixes.
“More details about additional changes are available in the svn revision log,” Kersey notes. “If you find new issues, please let us know by filing a bug,” he adds.
Earlier this month, Google released a new stable version of Chrome for Mac, Windows and Linux.
Exclusively focused on security, the release plugged nearly a dozen holes.
Aside from the listed security bugs fixed in Chromium, Google’s developers also deployed a workaround for a critical vulnerability where the root cause lied in an external component, the same Jason Kersey said.
As usual, the most recent stable version of Chrome is immediately available for download via the link below, alongside recent Developer and Beta versions of the browser.

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.
