nsane.forums Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Google recently adopted an accelerated release cycle for its Chrome browser, pushing out a new stable release every six weeks. Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 for Windows, Mac, and Linux introduces the majority of Chrome users to features that have been available to beta and developer's build users for several months, as well as fixing hundreds of bugs that affected the browser's stability.Google Chrome 7 introduces a new window for managing cookies.The list of new features that have been added to Chrome 7 stable is a short one. The HTML5 parser has been updated, and the stable branch finally received the HTML5 file application programming interface. This allows Web-based content to read the content of local files. Chrome 7 can also upload complete directories, and Mac OS X users will now see AppleScript support for interface automation. There are new options for managing cookies, too. A fairly hefty list of serious security bugs were also fixed in Chrome 7 stable. These include one critical-level bug that would crash the browser when using form autofill. Among the four bugs marked "high," one caused crashes with forms, another allowed for possible URL spoofing on page unloading, the third indicated possible memory corruption with animated GIFs, and the fourth involved stale elements in an element map. The Google Chrome changelog is available from the Chrome blog. View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODYQX4 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Why does it say it adds a new window for managing cookies? That's the same one I had at V6 and V7 is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I dunno but I getting sick of updating full version numbers of SRWare Iron ( which stay current with Chrome ) every week or two.. and reinstalling .. redoing all of my extensions every time... getting a little problematic.. I think they should really finish one of well.. and in like 3/6 months release it.. after they have actually FINISHED.. ( in the meantime covering any wholes/vulnerabilities.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leland Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Seems they are in such a hurry to get their version numbers up they will push new versions out faster than normal users will want. It seems to me they should have a minimum of 3 months between versions and should use minor version number to differentiate unless making major changes...Leland:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 21, 2010 Administrator Share Posted October 21, 2010 Really can't believe that they are going to release major versions every six weeks. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
