* Extension content scripts no longer run multiple times after fragment (ie #hash) navigations (Issue:35924)
* Early version of Geolocation API now available with following caveats:
- To enable, run the browser with --enable-geolocation
- Wifi based location is only supported on Windows and Mac (not OSX 10.6 for now)
- Permissions are not persisted (will re-prompt every time) and associated UI is incomplete.

hmmm. Somehow this is not what I would expect from devs Regression testing anyone? It is not so hard to have an automatic quick test scenario for everything that is being developed, is it not?
* An integrated Adobe Flash Player Plug-in. We're integrating Adobe Flash Player 10.1.51.95 (10.1 beta 3) with Google Chrome so that you don't have to install it or worry about keeping it up-to-date. To use the bundled Flash Player plug-in, add --enable-internal-flash to your command line or shortcut for starting Google Chrome.

Ever since Google disclosed in January that Internet intruders had stolen information from its computers, the exact nature and extent of the theft has been a closely guarded company secret. But a person with direct knowledge of the investigation now says that the losses included one of Google's crown jewels, a password system that controls access by millions of users worldwide to almost all of the company's Web services, including e-mail and business applications.

The intruders do not appear to have stolen passwords of Gmail users, and the company quickly started making significant changes to the security of its networks after the intrusions. But the theft leaves open the possibility, however faint, that the intruders may find weaknesses that Google might not even be aware of, independent computer experts said...
