Dev Channel Update
Thursday, April 8, 2010
The Dev channel has been updated to 5.0.371.0 for Windows, Mac, and Linux
All
- Geolocation support (Issue 11246 and many others)
- Fixed bug where HTML5 audio/video elements stopped firing timeupdate events (Issue 25185)
- WebGL is running inside the sandbox under the --enable-webgl flag (i.e. this no longer requires the --no-sandbox flag to run). Browsing with the --no-sandbox is dangerous and we strongly recommend that you not do it.
- Changes to the Omnibox (e.g. the bookmark star has moved, icon changes, etc...)
Windows
- See All
Mac
- More omnibox reshuffling work-in-progress (Issue: 37865)
Linux
- After some churn in recent dev channels, we now obey more font settings from fontconfig while still not sacrificing web compatibility. Unhappy about how your fonts look? Read a document about how to diagnose the various issues.
Known Issues
- [Linux] HTML5 audio/video elements are not firing the ended event
- [Linux] Right clicking "Copy Image" causes a crashe (Issue: 40448)
More details about additional changes are available in the svn log of all revision.
WebKit has been updated from r56820 to r57160.
