14 DAY TRIAL // Google has made available a small update to the recently released Google Chrome 6 stable. Chrome 6.0.472.55 is now available for all three supported platforms and comes with a number of small fixes.
"The Stable and Beta channels of Chrome have been updated to 6.0.472.55 for Windows, Mac, and Linux," Jason Kersey, of the Google Chrome team, announced.
This version contains the following fixes:
All · Failures when using autocomplete; · Default search engine settings wiped out; · Shift reload not working;
Windows: · Importing data from other browsers when chrome is set as default; · Chrome can’t be made default browser when it already exists.
"More details about additional changes are available in the svn revision log. If you find new issues, please let us know by filing a bug," he added.
Google Chrome 6 hit the stable channel last week and Google has now issued the first update. At this point in the development cycle, the updates are minimal and focus exclusively on bug fixes and security issues.
The first beta for Google Chrome 6 was released almost a month ago and it brought a lot of changes for those still stuck with Chrome 5. The biggest update was a refreshed, simpler UI with an unified menu button and various tweaks.
The sync feature has gotten better as well, now supporting extension and AutoFill sync. Of course, Chrome 6 is also noticeable faster than Chrome 5.
Beta users are now on par with stable channel users and the builds are identical. The difference is that, once the Chrome 7 beta is released, beta channel users will get automatically updated while stable channel users will have to wait a little longer.
