Google hat die Chrome Version 4.0.237.0 in den Dev-Channels für Windows, Linux und Mac veröffentlicht. Hauptaugenmerk liegt bei dieser Veröffentlichung verbesserter Stabilität und Erweiterungen.
Änderungen bei den Erweiterungen:
Lots of work to polish and stabilize the browser and page action APIs:
[r29556] Add badge text color API. Also change color APIs from ARGB to RGBA (breaking change, sorry!) (Issues: 24635, 24644, 25215)
[r29152, r29785] Browser actions (buttons, popups) are now implemented. (Issue: 23882, 23897)
[r29997] Add support for tab-specific state to browser actions. Also, fix the bug where only the first call to setIcon() works. (Issues: 24669,24472)
[r30346] Constrain browser action popups to a min/max size. Also fix some glitches in popup sizing. (Issue 25214)
[r30499] Use a better signature for the new page actions API (chrome.pageAction.* instead of chrome.pageActions.*). This is technically a breaking change, but hopefully not too many people had gotten around to using the new API yet. (Issue 25833)
[r29665] Remove toolstrips on linux. They were causing lots of crashes and are going away soon anyway. (Issue 25106)
[r29911] Add chrome.extension.sendRequest() -- a simpler way to do content script messaging. (Issue 23865)
[r30341] Add new event chrome.tabs.onStatusChange. This makes the common case of wanting to know when tabs load much easier. (Issue 21729)
Other miscellaneous cleanup:
[r29498] Correctly handle reloading in the task manager (Issue 18693)
[r29555] Fix bug where content scripts did not always apply to first page load (Issue 11547)
[r29714, r29922, r29935, r30219] Various cleanup for the extension management page (Issues 12119, 25509, 25471)
[r30091] Improve install UI on mac (Issue 19654)
[r30312] Filter out hidden files when loading and packing extensions (Issue 23004)
[r30326] Copy chrome.extension.getTabContentses() to chrome.extension.getExtensionTabs(). Nobody liked the old name. (Issue 21433)
[r30384] Use the puzzle piece as the default extension icon. (Issue 25906)
[r30481] Hide the theme install bubble a little earlier. It was overlapping with the install dialog on linux. (Issue 26130)
Außerdem wurde Lesezeichenleiste auf Mac verbessert und auf Linux einige Fehler korrigiert.
Google hat aber auch das Interface der Erweiterungen überarbeitet.

Einen Fehler hat die Version allerdings: Der Chrome Icon wird in der Taskleiste nicht angezeigt.
