Thursday, October 22, 2009

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.)

)
[
r28837
] QuickTime plugin no longer crashes, and often displays properly (though there are still bugs to be ironed out).

] *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:

] 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
)
