The latest news from the Google Chrome team
A new Stable release of Chrome, expanding the frontiers of the web
Friday, September 16, 2011
Today, we’re happy to ship a new release to the
Stable channel
of Chrome, following up on last month’s Beta channel
release
. This release contains two significant technologies which allow developers to create even more powerful web apps and games:
The
Web Audio API
enables developers to add
fancy audio effects
such as room simulation and spatialization.
Native Client
is an open-source technology which allows C and C++ code to be seamlessly and securely executed inside the browser. Currently, Native Client only supports applications listed in the
Chrome Web Store
, but we are working to remove this limitation as soon as possible.
This release also contains some changes for our Chrome users on Mac OS X Lion. For all web pages, Chrome uses Lion's
overlay scrollbars
, which appear only while you’re scrolling. We’ve also added initial support for Lion’s
full-screen mode
, triggered by a full-screen button or Ctrl+Shift+F. Finally, we’ve fixed many crash bugs, and added some all-around visual polish.
As always, if you already have Chrome installed, it will automatically update itself to the new version soon. If you haven’t taken Chrome for a spin yet, you can download it from
www.google.com/chrome
