14 DAY TRIAL // Google developers have released a new update for the Beta branch of the Google Chrome browser and they've made a number of interesting changes and improvements.
The Google Chrome browser sits now at version 40.0.2214.69 and that might look like a weird number, but Google is showing no sign that it intends to modify the versioning policy. It's been quite a while since the previous update for the browser was released and it looks like things are back on track.
The developers have explained that the password popup has been improved, some issues with json have been corrected, a problem that was causing page actions to disappear has been fixed, the queries for Fontconfig defaults have been corrected, and a fix has been implemented for a problem with spacebar navigation on NTP.
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 Beta branch from Softpedia. More of these versions should be made available soon and it's very likely that a stable one will also land.
Google provides two kinds of binaries for users, DEB and RPM files. There is no source package and users should check the local repositories before installing the application.
