Another new version of Chrome was announced yesterday.

The announcement unfortunately contains no details about what was changed. There is a link to the full change log, but that page is rather technical and likely difficult to read for typical users. However, it appears that the new version fixes several minor bugs, none of which are related to security.

Reviewing the change log reveals this:

Flip 32-bit warning string to let users know it’s the end of the line. The string is changing to “This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because its hardware is no longer supported.” Previously, the message began with “This computer will soon stop receiving”.

Since my main computer currently runs a 32-bit O/S, I became somewhat alarmed at this. Digging into the related material, I was able to determine that the message in question is only for Mac systems. 32-bit versions of Windows will continue to receive Chrome updates.

A new version of Google’s web browser was announced yesterday. Version 38.0.2125.104 includes the latest Flash update. It also includes some other changes, but presumably none of them are security-related, otherwise the changes would have been mentioned in the announcement. Unfortunately, the full change log is in a form that is essentially unreadable to non-programmers.

Another new version of Google’s web browser was announced yesterday. Version 37.0.2062.102 fixes one lone bug, that was causing font rendering problems in some situations. There are no security fixes in the new version, so there’s no urgency about updating.
