Google Chrome 4.0.223.9 Dev

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

This week Printing and the Quicktime plugin make their initial appearance on Chrome for Mac. Lots of important Extensions changes and quite a few bugs are also fixed.

Be sure to read the Known Issues if you are running Chrome for Mac.

All Platforms:
CSS rounded corners are now antialiased on Windows and Linux. (They were already on Mac.)

Mac:
Printing now works. (Issue: 13158)
[r28871] Autoupdates no longer cause problems if Chrome is already running. (Issue: 14610)
[r29388] Hitting backspace while IME is active does no longer go back in history. (Issue: 25000)
[r28837] QuickTime plugin no longer crashes, and often displays properly (though there are still bugs to be ironed out).
[r28837] Plugin whitelist has been removed, so that Chrome will attempt to load all NPAPI plugins. Expect more plugin crashes.
[r29396] Ctrl-tab switches tabs again. (Issue: 24921)
[r29458] Cmd-` switches windows again. (Issue: 24817)

Linux:
Minor visual polish (e.g. horizontal scrollbars show the proper grippy, omnibox highlighting fix).
[r28834] Create application shortcuts now works on Fedora 11. (Issue: 22966)
[r28869] Browser actions (extension buttons in toolbar) partly implemented. (Issue: 23882)
[r29102] Omnibox auto-complete popup stacks properly below SCIM IME candidate window. (Issue: 19082)
[r29261] Ctrl+F etc. no longer type other letters into edit boxes in non-English keyboard setups. (Issues: 10846, 2215, 21471)

Chrome Frame:
Fixes persistent IE 8 crashes. (Issue: 22768)
Fixed crashes when navigating with Web Inspector open. (Issue: 22993)
Fixes spurious errors when re-installing Chrome Frame. (Issue: 23444)
Fixes a crash in comctl32.dll, triggered by Google Wave. (Issue: 24115)
Fixes empty referrer issue for initial link navigations. (Issue: 22994)
Preview support for accessibility via MSAA, including ARIA role and state information. (Issues 23669, others)
Improved keyboard and accelerator handling.
IE text-size menu items now change text size in Chrome Frame.
Navigating to a site marked as restricted is now disabled in Chrome Frame. Chrome frame now updates the zone UI on the task bar.
Chrome Frame will now work for all other users on the machine, not just the user who installs it. (Issue: 23989)
Fixes for SSL certificate error issue.
Disables sending 'chromeframe' in the User-Agent if the Chrome Frame addon is disabled. (Issue: 22760)
Disables the 'Chrome has crashed - Restart?' message box.
Limited support for JavaScript history object for back/forward from content.

Extensions:
[r29068] *Breaking Change* Finalize browser actions API (Issue: 23879)
[r29284] *Breaking Change* Only one browser action or one page actions is now allowed per-extension. We are experimenting with the idea of a direct correspondence between extensions and visible UI features. We think this may improve managability. (Issue: 24473)
[r29335] Update page actions API to improve usability. Old API still supported. (Issue: 24635)
[r29495] Browser actions and page actions: Add chrome.browserAction.setIcon({path:...}). No longer need to prespecify images in manifest. (Issue: 22575)
[r29297] Add an options_page to the manifest. (Issue: 23801)
[r29365] You can now use (slightly) bigger icons in browser actions and page actions. Up to 19px square are now allowed (up from 16px). (Issue: 24881)
[r29046] Fix extension canceling. (Issue: 23405)
[r29143] Browser action button disappears when loading a new extension. (Issue: 23593)

Known issues:
Mac: If an older version of Chrome is running when this version is automatically installed the running version will not quit cleanly and will spike the CPU at 100%. It will be necessary to Force Quit the application. Use Cmd-Option-Escape to open the Force Quit dialog.
Mac: Cmd-opt-left/right navigate history instead of switching tabs (Issue:25396). Use cmd-{/} as workaround.
Linux: Some fonts may look blurry or extra bold. (Issue: 25365)

iirc, only Beta/Stable has auto-update function. Dev builds don't have.

Google Chrome 4.0.237.0 Dev

http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/237.0/...e_installer.exe

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

The Dev channel has been updated to 4.0.237.0 for all platforms (Windows, Mac, and Linux). The focus on this release has been feature polish, stability improvement, and extensions work.

Mac
Significant bookmark bar improvements.

Linux
[r29163, r29299] Audio playing improvements in video/audio tags. (Issues: 23974, 20945, 17703)
[r29261] Fix international keyboard handling (alt-gr, ctrl+f). (Issues: 10846, 2215, 21471)
[r29657] ~ now works in the Omnibox to expand to home directories. (Issue: 18200)
[r29857] Fix conflicts between accelerator keys and HTML DOM accesskeys. (Issue: 21624)
[r29903] Inactive pinned tabs on linux throb when the title changes. (Issue: 25308)
Text drawn over rounded corners (including buttons) is no longer blurry. This affected a variety of sites, including Google Calendar and Google Reader.
As an experiment, we've changed the way clicking in the omnibox works. Leave a comment on the bug if it bothers you.

Extensions
Lots of work to polish and stabilize the browser and page action APIs:
[r29556] Add badge text color API. Also change color APIs from ARGB to RGBA (breaking change, sorry!) (Issues: 24635, 24644, 25215)
[r29152, r29785] Browser actions (buttons, popups) are now implemented. (Issue: 23882, 23897)
[r29997] Add support for tab-specific state to browser actions. Also, fix the bug where only the first call to setIcon() works. (Issues: 24669,24472)
[r30346] Constrain browser action popups to a min/max size. Also fix some glitches in popup sizing. (Issue 25214)
[r30499] Use a better signature for the new page actions API (chrome.pageAction.* instead of chrome.pageActions.*). This is technically a breaking change, but hopefully not too many people had gotten around to using the new API yet. (Issue 25833)
[r29665] Remove toolstrips on linux. They were causing lots of crashes and are going away soon anyway. (Issue 25106)
[r29911] Add chrome.extension.sendRequest() -- a simpler way to do content script messaging. (Issue 23865)
[r30341] Add new event chrome.tabs.onStatusChange. This makes the common case of wanting to know when tabs load much easier. (Issue 21729)

Other miscellaneous cleanup:
[r29498] Correctly handle reloading in the task manager (Issue 18693)
[r29555] Fix bug where content scripts did not always apply to first page load (Issue 11547)
[r29714, r29922, r29935, r30219] Various cleanup for the extension management page (Issues 12119, 25509, 25471)
[r30091] Improve install UI on mac (Issue 19654)
[r30312] Filter out hidden files when loading and packing extensions (Issue 23004)
[r30326] Copy chrome.extension.getTabContentses() to chrome.extension.getExtensionTabs(). Nobody liked the old name. (Issue 21433)
[r30384] Use the puzzle piece as the default extension icon. (Issue 25906)
[r30481] Hide the theme install bubble a little earlier. It was overlapping with the install dialog on linux. (Issue 26130)

Known Issues:
[r26861] - Autocomplete/ select box values are not being correctly populated in Linux. As a work around you can use the up/down arrow keys to view the current selection.
[r26600] - Task bar icon in Windows does not update/ display correctly.
