Google plans to release new stable versions of its Chrome browser every six weeks. Chrome's program manager Anthony Laforge says that Google has decided to increase the number of stable versions of the browser the company releases in order to get features to users faster and make the schedule more predictable. He adds that speeding up the version cycle would also "reduce the pressure on engineering to 'make' a release."
"Over the next few months, we are going to be rolling out a new release process to accelerate the pace at which Google Chrome stable releases become available. Running under ideal conditions, we will be looking to release a new stable version about once every six weeks, roughly twice as often as we do today," states Laforge.
He adds that if the software developers decide that a feature isn't quite ready, then it would be held back from the next stable release.
Google has a reputation for keeping many of its products in beta version for a very long time. That way, its developers can continue to watch their work evolve online with the aid of many users. |
