    • Beta updates
    • release

    Google Chrome 5.0.342.8 has been released to the Beta channel on Windows. 

    There's not much to report because most of the features were released previously in Chrome 4.1. This release does have an option in the Under the Hood section to let you disable automatic translations. 

    Now that all Beta users are on the same revision, we can disclose the following security issues fixed in this release:

    • [36553] Low Don’t store non-text fields in the local Web Data database. Credit to Florian Rienhardt, BSI.
    • [Linux only] [36770] High Certificate checking error. Credit to Hironori Bono and Adam Langley of the Chromium development community.

    Google Chrome 5.0.342.7 has been released to the Beta channel for Mac users: Translate for the Mac

    Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/25/2010 - 18:33
    • Beta updates
    • mac
    • release

    Google Chrome 5.0.342.7 has been released to the Beta channel for Mac users (we released Linux yesterday). The highlights for Mac are basically the same, with the addition of Full Screen view working.

    We finally have automatic translation for all Beta users.

    Highlights:

    • Automatic translations and greater control over content for privacy. The Google Chrome 4.1 Beta announcement for Windows explains these features in more detail.
    • Full screen mode
    • Really, really reload. A normal reload causes the browser to check with the server before reusing its cached content.  The server can decide whether or not the browser should use its cached content.  A force reload causes the browser to ignore its cached content and ask the server for a fresh copy of the page. Use Shift+Reload to force a reload (the reload keyboard shortcut varies by platform).

    To get on the Beta channel, you can download Google Chrome from http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=mac.

    Google Chrome 5.0.342.7 has been released to the Beta channel for Linux.

    We’ll be releasing 342 to Mac and Windows soon, but we wanted to get the Linux update out as quickly as possible to fix an issue with Google SSL sites failing with ‘error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR)’ (issue 37722).

    Here are the highlights since the 307.11 update:

    • Automatic translations and greater control over content for privacy. The Google Chrome 4.1 Beta announcement for Windows explains these features in more detail.
    • Really, really reload. A normal reload causes the browser to check with the server before reusing its cached content.  The server can decide whether or not the browser should use its cached content.  A force reload causes the browser to ignore its cached content and ask the server for a fresh copy of the page.

    • Beta updates
    • release

     

    The Windows Beta channel for Google Chrome has been updated to 4.1.249.1021. This update has some new features that we wanted you to be able to try before Chrome 5 is ready, so we created Chrome 4.1.

     

    The new features are
    • Automatic translation of web pages
    • More content settings to let you control whether web sites can store cookies, load images, use plug-ins, run JavaScript or show pop-ups. You can find these new settings in under Options > Under the hood > Privacy.

     

    The changes in Google Chrome 4.1 Beta are explained in more detail on the Google Chrome Blog.
