Google Chrome Moving To A Two-Week Release Cycle

([Google] 2 Hours Ago Four Weeks Is Too Long)


Google announced today that beginning later this year they are moving the Chrome web browser from its four week release cycle down to a two week release cadence.

Starting in September, Google will move to a two-week release cycle. Google is doing this on the basis that "the web platform is constantly advancing" and they want to move to shipping performance improvements, fixes, and new capabilities even quicker to developers and end users.

The hope is with these smaller two-week releases there will be less disruption and simplifying post-release debugging too.

This two week cycle is planned to begin with the Google Chrome 153 browser release on 8 September. Details on this change can be found via the [2]Google Chrome developer blog .

they had used the computer network less frequently, The New York Times
reported Sunday. The result ... surprised both researchers and
sponsors, which included Intel Corp., Hewlett Packard, AT&T Research and
Apple Computer.
