The latest version of Chrome fixes eleven security issues. Version 40.0.2214.111 also includes the latest embedded version of Flash (16.0.0.305).

The release notes for Chrome 40.0.2214.111 describe some of the changes in the new version. There’s a link to the ‘full list of changes’, but since the linked page is an automated change log from the version management software Git, it’s aimed at developers and not much use for regular users. A link to ’11 security fixes’ currently displays an empty page.

In any case, since the new Chrome contains security fixes and the new Flash, anyone using the browser is strongly encouraged to allow Chrome to update itself before using it for web browsing.
