前两天Google Chrome放出了首个重大更新,版本号从0.2升级到了0.3。更新解决了一些b
ug和性能上的提高,但主要的更新是在和一些Plugin的协作上进行了改进。
测试下来,确实,原先Google Chrome打开网络视频时,如果拖动滚动条,CPU会升到99%,
现在这个问题得到了解决。见Release Notes中的r2740:
Fixes a problem where using Flash plugins could lock up Google Chrome and caus
e 100% CPU usage (Issue 387, Issue 772)
目前这个最新重大更新只能通过Dev Channel获得,关于Dev Channel的官方介绍:
Google Chrome publishes new releases to the Dev channel frequently. The Dev ch
annel gives the community access to upcoming features, features in development
, and the latest bug fixes. We can use feedback from Dev channel users to impr
ove and iterate on feature ideas, and make sure that the latest features work
properly before we release them to a wider audience.

New Network Layer: Testers Wanted
We're just about ready to turn on the new HTTP networking code by default. The
re are a few remaining bugs, mostly in handling SSL edge cases and HTTP authen
tication.
To use the new HTTP code, you can add a command line flag to the shortcut you
use to launch Google Chrome. To add a command line flag, right click the Googl
e Chrome shortcut, choose Properties, and edit the Target field. You can just
add the new flags at the end of the Target line.
The new command line flag is:
--new-http
Enables the new network layer. Please put [new-http] in the description for an
y bugs you file.
