14 DAY TRIAL // Google Chrome developers have released a new update for their Internet browser, increasing the version number to 40.x.
It's not clear what Google is doing with the version numbers for Chrome, but for now it looks like 40.x is not really a problem. The devs are still making small improvements to the application and each new edition brings a few new features.
There are three different branches for Google Chrome: stable, Beta, and dev. The dev version is where all the major changes are implemented and it's the most unstable of all. The Beta iteration is all about fixes and smaller changes, and the stable one is used by the majority of users. There is very little incentive to use anything else than the stable branch, but users are always welcome to test the others.
The developers have explained that the rotation keys for the PDF files are now working properly, it's no longer possible to create an app list for an incognito profile, the application will now focus by default on the first button in the App Info dialog, and the guest profile is now able to reset the default search provider.
These are just a few of the fixes and changes made and you can check the announcement to find out more. You can also download the Google Chrome 40.x branch from Softpedia.
