Today, we’re happy to ship a new release to the Stable channel of Chrome, following up on last month’s Beta channel release. This release contains two significant technologies which allow developers to create even more powerful web apps and games:
  • The Web Audio API enables developers to add fancy audio effects such as room simulation and spatialization.
  • Native Client is an open-source technology which allows C and C++ code to be seamlessly and securely executed inside the browser. Currently, Native Client only supports applications listed in the Chrome Web Store, but we are working to remove this limitation as soon as possible.

This release also contains some changes for our Chrome users on Mac OS X Lion. For all web pages, Chrome uses Lion's overlay scrollbars, which appear only while you’re scrolling. We’ve also added initial support for Lion’s full-screen mode, triggered by a full-screen button or Ctrl+Shift+F. Finally, we’ve fixed many crash bugs, and added some all-around visual polish.

As always, if you already have Chrome installed, it will automatically update itself to the new version soon. If you haven’t taken Chrome for a spin yet, you can download it from Google Chrome - Get a fast new browser. For PC, Mac, and Linux.

Well, full screen seems to work well, and everything look as it should be, I just miss the effect when you go back a page.

Working fine here. I really don't like full screen for any app but it's nice to have anyway. Other than that, changes are not significant.

Being one who runs the Canary build, I thought to myself, "I've had Lion integration for weeks now!" ;)

NaCl might be interesting if any decent apps are built for it. The best feature is the gestures have been re-added (I hope the stable version has those back).

EDIT: Nope, they haven't added the gesture support. Yet another benefit in running the Canary builds.
