Google Chrome dev 9.0.570.0 is Out
Seems this morning that the developers at Google released Google Chrome dev 9.0.570.0 and with it a significant version number change. Maybe this bodes well for the browser. Looking at the release notes, however, leaves me wondering:
Mac
- Make sure the dock icon is updated after closing an incognito window with an in-progress download (Issue 48391)
and then there are several "Known issues" with the build:
Known Issues
- REGRESSION: Windows media player for Firefox doesn't load - Issue 61603
- Regression:accelerated compositing slows down the whole machine - Issue 61520
- google.com/wave : "Page Unresponsive" dailog box appears - Issue 61533
- myspace.com : Cannot enter a character in Comments field - Issue 61513
which, to me, sounds like the major version number is really just a sham, and the third number - 570, is the one to look at. They aren't using the major numbers to indicate anything other than what they consider to be dev versus beta versus release.
Kind of disappointing...
