Chrome 38 Released: New APIs and 159 Security Fixes

Posted by Soulskill on from the onward-and-upward dept.

An anonymous reader writes: In addition to updating Chrome for iOS, Google has released Chrome 38 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. While Chrome 38 beta brought a slew of new features, the stable release is pretty much just a massive security update. This means that, with Chrome 38, Google isn't adding any features to the stable channel (full changelog). That said, Chrome 38 does address 159 security issues (including 113 "relatively minor ones"). Google spent $75,633.70 in bug bounties for this release.

  1. No new features after beta? by Stewie241 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So a company released a beta version, and then a stable version that didn't add features to the beta? Wow. That really *is* news for nerds!
