Google Chrome, Chromium

[Liquid Snake]

Update: Google Chrome 0.2.153.1 Beta

Release Notes: 0.2.153.1


Highlights

• r2266 Fix scrolling (cannot scroll up) with touchpads on most laptops. Issue 4.
• r2334 Fix the problem in 152.1 with the About box spinning forever to check for updates and leaving behind an orphaned chrome.exe process. Issue 2362
• r2282 and r2320 Remove the separate installer for the Gears component. It is now installed as a versioned component alongside chrome.dll. When 0.2.153.0 (or later) is installed successfully, the previous version of Gears is uninstalled.

New Network and Window Managers: Testers Wanted

To use the new backend features, you can add a command line flag to the shortcut you use to launch Google Chrome. You can have multiple flags, so you can test both features if you want. To add a command line flag, right click the Google Chrome shortcut, choose Properties, and edit the Target field. You can just add the new flags at the end of the Target line.
The new command line flags are:


<b>

--new-http
Enables the new network layer. This is nearly complete, but there are still be some things that don't work. Areas that need more attention: SSL and SSL-EV sites, proxies (especially requiring authentication), very large downloads (>2GB).
Please put [new-http] in the description for any bugs you file.--magic_browzR
Enables the new tab and window manager code. The code has been refactored to help make it more portable, easier to add new features, and make it more Windows-friendly. Things like ' Tile windows horizontally' or extensions that manage multiple desktops/monitors should work, the full Google Chrome window menu is available when you right click a pop-up or application window title bar, and pop-up address bars looks nicer.
A couple of known issues on Vista (already fixed, but not in time for this release): the new tab button does not work and you cannot resize windows. Please put [magic_browzR] in the description for any bugs you file.

Other Notable Changes

User Interface

• r2026 Double-clicking a tab's entry in Google Chrome's task manager (Shift+Esc) brings that tab to the foreground.
• r2222 Your choices for Clear browsing data... are saved so the same boxes are checked the next time you open the dialog.
• r2322 Add an "Add to dictionary..." option to the right-click menu for misspelled words. Use this to add a word so that Google Chrome does not highlight it as misspelled.
• r2412 Fix an issue that could prevent users from saving bookmarks. Issue 1946.
• r2413 Allow mutiple bookmarks to refer to the same URL (which can be useful if you want a bookmark on the bookmarks bar and also saved under Other bookmarks). To get a new bookmark for a URL, either drop a link on the bookmarks bar (not by dragging the star) or right-click the Bookmarks bar and choose Add page...
• r2504 Adds a Page info option to the context menu (right click). This brings up the same information as double clicking the lock or warning icon in the address bar of an SSL page.

Plugins

• r2400 Add support for Adobe Reader's fast web view, which fixes a performance problem loading PDF files. Issue 206.

Javascript/Web API

• r2061 Add anti-aliasing support for SVG shape-rendering="crispEdges".
• r2250 Make navigator.language reflect the current UI language for Google Chrome instead of the operating system. Issue 1862.

SSL and SafeBrowsing

• r1998 Fix a problem with links or redirects to pages containing malware. The warning page now correctly identifies the new page as the malware host, rather than the previous page.
• r2098 Add support for Extended Validation (EV) certificates from GlobalSign.
• r2363 Add support for Extended Validation (EV) certificates from CyberTrust.

Tab Model Rewrite (--magic_browzR)

• r1996 Fix several issues on Vista, most notably that tabs were not selectable with the mouse.
• r2205 Allow windows to be resized on Vista
• r2406 Fix an issue with tooltips showing up in the wrong location.

Other

• r2223 Turn off making a request to determine the local URL for Google (google.co.uk, google.co.in, etc) when Google is not your default search provider.
• r2323 (related to r2223) Don't set a cookie when making a request to determine the local URL for Google.
• r2287 Fix a problem that prevented Google Chrome from being uninstalled immediately. Issue 2321
• r2457 Fix the Open dialog (Ctrl+O) so that it does not lock the directory from which you open a file. Issue 2617.
• r2466 Fix proxy exceptions that include upper-case characters. Issue 541.

Crashes

• r2028 Fix a crash when using Find next (F3). Issue 1669, <b/1341577>
• r2090 Fix a crash when using View Source on an https page. Issue 1951.
• r2131 Fix a crash when copying data to the clipboard. Issue <b/1374632>
• r2261 Fix a crash when saving a page. Issue 2206

Kako je i prije napomenuto:

On September 9, 2008 the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) issued a statement about their first examination of Chrome, expressing a concern over the prominent download links on Google's German web page, because "beta versions should not be employed for general use applications" and browser manufactures should provide appropriate instructions regarding the use of pre-released software. They did, however, praise the browser's technical contribution to improving security on the web.

Several privacy concerns have surfaced regarding data collected via Chrome, including browsing habits and personally identifiable information.

Tako je na kraju ipak uklonjen.

Google Chrome 0.2.154.0 Beta

Release Notes: 0.3.154.0

Highlights: Plugin Fixes
This release includes several changes that improve the performance of plugins, especially Adobe Flash video.
r2459, r2744 Improve the performance and scrolling of plugins. This especially improves pages with multiple plugins playing video. Note to developers: this affects windowless plugins only. (Issue 93)
r2539 Fixes plugins not playing when embedded in a third-party frame on a page (Issue 1533)
r2740 Fixes a problem where using Flash plugins could lock up Google Chrome and cause 100% CPU usage (Issue 387, Issue 772)

New Network Layer: Testers Wanted

We're just about ready to turn on the new HTTP networking code by default. There are a few remaining bugs, mostly in handling SSL edge cases and HTTP authentication.
To use the new HTTP code, you can add a command line flag to the shortcut you use to launch Google Chrome. To add a command line flag, right click the Google Chrome shortcut, choose Properties, and edit the Target field. You can just add the new flags at the end of the Target line.
The new command line flag is:


<b>
--new-http
Enables the new network layer. Please put [new-http] in the description for any bugs you file.
</b>


Other Notable Changes

User Interface
r2474 'Duplicate' (right click on a tab > Duplicate) opens a new tab instead of a new window.
r2631, r2678 Adds the ability to sort table views in the user interface and turns it on for the keyword editor (Options > Basics > Default search: Manage) and cookie manager (Options > Under the hood > Show cookies).
r2643 Makes the link in the About box clickable. The link opens a page acknowledging the authors and license terms of third party code and software used in Google Chrome.
r2645 Keeps focus on the last match after the Find in page box is closed. (Issue 455)
r2704 Ctrl+S now brings up a Save Page dialog. (Issue 1653)
Search Engines and Suggest Services
r2564, r2623 Fixes search results when the default search provider is voila.fr (or orange.fr) and enables search suggestions for voila.fr (French) and daum.net (Korean).
r2630 Fixes a problem with importing Windows Live Search as the default search engine.
JavaScript/Web API
r2571 Adds a command line switch to set the user agent string for testing: --user-agent="some string". We'll be making changes to the user agent string before we exit Beta, and this will help in testing site compatibility. This isn't really Web API, but seems mostly of interest to web developers.

Meni se još uvijek crasha glavni tab, te bilo kakvo diranje na YouTubeu osim gledanja klipa od početka do kraja. Iritantno da sam ipak ovisna o Ffoxu još.

Beta or no Beta

[crn]

pa samo skini Chromium... ja ga vozim od prvog dana i nikakvih rušenja ni problema.

Ista stvar (barem ovo s tjubom), s tim da Chromium rošta po Maxtoru toliko da poludim već.

Ako je ista stvar kao i kod regularnog Chormea, probaj pod Options/Under the hood isključiti "Enable phishing and malware protection".

Bez promjene. A nije ni u Flashu problem kad sam ga reinstalirala. Ha, well...
