14 DAY TRIAL // Google has released a new version of Chrome for all supported platforms, including Mac OS X. Chrome 10.0.648.114 Beta focuses on stability and user interface tweaks.
On the Google Chrome Releases blog, Jason Kersey informs that “The Beta channel has been updated to 10.0.648.114 for all platforms.”
Google’s man explains that “This release contains stability improvements and UI tweaks.”
As usual, those interested in learning more about the changes included with this beta are available in the SVN revision log, while those who find new issues are encouraged to file a bug report.
Last week, Google rolled out the first Developer builds of Chrome 11, the next major version of the WebKit-based browser for Mac, Windows, and Linux.
The first Chrome 11 build delivers an updated V8 engine, fixed crashes, a redesigned XSS Auditor which now comes enabled by default, as well as some Mac-specific tweaks.
These include fixed crashes during plugin shutdown, tab overview mode is on by default now, added unspoofable infobars, and accelerometer data has been made more reliable.
The first 10.0 beta was also released alongside Chrome 11 Dev last week.
Detailed by Jeff Chang, product manager, and Min Li Chan, product marketing manager on the Google Chrome blog, the new beta was said to include “a dramatic improvement in JavaScript speed, new password sync features, and entirely revamped browser settings.”
For those who make a habit out of saving passwords in Chrome, synchronizing saved passwords across multiple computers is now possible. The same applies for bookmarks, preferences, themes, and extensions, Google said.
Google Chrome requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard or later and an Intel-based Mac. Using the link below, all versions of Chrome for Mac (Stable, Beta, Dev) are immediately available for download.
