14 DAY TRIAL // Google, through Alex Mineer, has announced last evening, March 9, the promotion of the Google Chrome 42 web browser to the Beta channel. The 42.0.2311.22 version was in the Dev channel for quite some time now, and it is now considered mature enough to enter Beta stages.
While the Dev channel version remains untouched at the moment of writing this article (version 42.0.2311.22), users can now install the exact same version of the Google Chrome web browser from the Beta channel and see what new features it brings, because it contains many improvements.
Just the like the recently released Google Chrome 41 stable, this Beta version comes with a number of new extension and apps APIs, including the Push API, as well as various under-the-hood changes for performance and stability.
“The Chrome engineering team is excited to announce the promotion of Chrome 42 to the beta channel for Windows, Mac and Linux. Chrome 42.0.2311.22 contains many improvements,” said Alex Mineer from the Google Chrome development team. “A full list of changes in this build is available in the log. [...] If you find a new issue, please let us know by filing a bug.”
You can download Google Chrome 42.0.2311.22 Beta for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows right now from Softpedia. We remind everyone who attempts downloading and installing this software that it is unstable, so please do not deploy on production machines.
