Google Plans to Accelerate Chrome Releases

The Chromium blog has a post talking about their plan to begin releasing new stable versions of Chrome every six weeks. It’s a hurried pace, but the fact of the matter is that Google is ramping up Chrome to be used for a platform for technology in many different areas of the company’s strategy.
One of the reasons to increase the frequency of version updates is to make sure that the Chromium team is not putting out stable features just because there is a deadline to get a new release out. There are so many features being added or changed in the development build that it is hard to keep track of what is actually going to go into the stable build. Indeed, it seems the build is update almost every week as it is.
Chrome is going to be a central part of Chrome OS, of course, but it will also be a component of Google TV, arriving this fall on DISH Network. Technology such as the V8 JavaScript engine has also been ported over to Android’s browser as well. There are probably some other features of Chrome that are going to springboard other Google initiatives that we don’t even know of yet.
I guess I better finish up my Inside Chrome 6 series, the new stable release may be coming a lot sooner than I had anticipated.

This shows how often I restart my browser. I was confronted with this window trying to see what dev version I’m using.When you’re out of date, you’ll now see a exclamation point next to “About Google Chrome” in Tools. Although I know that there was an update last week, apparently they really want me to upgrade.
