Release web-browser Chrome 18 with Major improvements....



Hey guyzz...
Google has introduced a web-release of the Chrome browser 18, available for the platforms Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. The browser is built on the code base open source project Chromium and use different logos Google, built-in support for Flash and PDF, the presence of a system to send notifications in case of failure, the system automatically install updates, and sending the search RLZ-parameters.
 



Major improvements :

"
The increase in graphics performance by tapping Canvas2D acceleration by means of GPU, which should significantly affect the speed of rendering web-based application using the output through the tag "canvas", such as games. Supports GPU acceleration Canvas2D means yet available only for Windows and Mac OS X.
The ability to use WebGL to display 3D content, even on older graphics cards through the use of the software rasterizer SwiftShader. From now on, WebGL can be used on any computer, regardless of the presence of modern video cards and appropriate drivers. Performance-based WebGL SwiftShader lags well behind the variant while taking advantage of GPU, but it is enough to work with the standard 3D-content. To assess the SwiftShader on systems that support GPU-acceleration, you can run the browser with the options "- blacklist-accelerated-compositing", and "- blacklist-webgl".
In the contextual menu plug-in PDF-added commands to rotate the document clockwise and counter clockwise for easy viewing horizontally scanned documents.
Implemented blocking untrusted RSA and DSA.
Been established Native Client applications work in the Linux-distributions, where / dev / shm is mounted with the option "noexec" (for example, in Gentoo).
JavaScript-V8 engine has been updated to version 3.8."


In addition to new features and bug fixes, the new version removed nine vulnerabilities, of which 3 are marked as hazardous, 5 - moderate and 1 - slight. Some vulnerabilities have been identified by developers as a result of the browser to initiate additional audits of code, after the detection of Chrome a few critical issues, demonstrated in the competition Pwnium. Three of the eight fixed vulnerabilities detected by instruments address-sanitizer, designed for the automated determination of the facts refer to the liberated areas of memory, going beyond the boundaries of allocated buffer and some other types of errors when working with memory.
