Beta Channel Update

Monday, March 12, 2012

update: The Beta channel for Mac is back to the 18.0.1025.54 version due to Flash running incorrectly.

The Beta channel has been updated to 18.0.1025.56 for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame platforms
This build has the following changes:

GPU acceleration of the Canvas 2D is now disabled by default and can be enabled in about:flags
We've disabled the image transport surface on Windows Vista and 7. For gpu accelerated content gpu process now renders directly to the window.
Core Animation plugins no longer trigger gpu accelerated compositing on the Mac.

These changes are due to stability measures and some or all of these features may be enabled again in a future release.

If you find a new issue, please let us know by filing a bug.
