Dev channel push halted due to crashes.

Google has made available for download a new Build of the most advanced variant of its open source browser, save for the Chromium milestones. Google Chrome 6.0.437.1 is now available for download through the Dev Channel for Windows and Linux users, while testers running Mac OS X will be able to update Chrome 6.0 all the way to version 6.0.437.2. However, it seems that the Mountain View-based search giant has stumbled upon some issues with the Dev flavor of Chrome.

Details are scarce at this point in time, but it appears that Google is working to find the cause of a number of crashes reported by early adopters with the most advanced version of Chrome. Of course, the Mountain View company is bound to get the development and testing process right back on track as soon as it will identify and resolve the source of the problems. Still, for the time being, Anthony Laforge from the Google Chrome team informed that, “We've temporarily stopped the Dev channel push while we investigate some crashes.”

You can get the latest D/L for:

Google Chrome 6.0.437.1 WebM/VP8 Dev

Opera 10.60 Beta 1

The Mozilla Developer Preview 3.7 Alpha 5 (nightly)

That's good news.

Was using the Dev a couple of months ago, started crashing so I'm using the Beta now.

Actually was wondering what the problem was.

I was getting a weird thing with one of the processes crashing with
6.0.437.1 but a reinstall seemed to fix it. Since updating to .3 I haven't seen it.

It was the Chrome has stopped working but the browser was still functioning. Only thing I can think is one of the processes crashed and maybe an extension restarted it or something. But I did read some on the web about the thing dying completely and reinstall fixing it. That's been the only glitch so far. Pretty stable.

No problems with 6.0.437.1 here

Should check for updates, its at 6.0.437.3.

6.0.437.1 did crash for me a lot (well, the window would pop up, but never affected anything).

 

[Dave76]

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

Glad it's running so well, must be time to get the Dev again.

For me, I can't autoupdate the beta version!!, I don't know if it's only my problem or of all testers?

I seem good too. Hope it's just a ripple in the pond.

Looks like a standard dev channel glitch, seems it was pretty much a non issue for most.
