Google Aims To Double Rate Of Chrome Releases 
By: Doug Caverly 2010-07-26 The browser that should represent a stepping stone to a new operating system is going to starting cycling through releases at a faster pace. Google now intends to distribute an updated, stable version of Chrome every six weeks, which will be about twice as fast as before.
That should prove to be a smart move for several reasons. As established in a post on the Chromium Blog, Google's first goal is simply to "-s-horten the release cycle and still get great features in front of users when they are ready," which is almost sure to benefit the average Internet user. The teams behind Firefox and Internet Explorer are sure to feel some pressure to keep up, after all, so hopefully we'll see all Web browsers begin to advance more quickly. Then, for the sake of developers, engineers, and users, this decision means Google will be able to "-m-ake the schedule more predictable and easier to scope." Finally, everyone on Google's end of the project should be able to relax a little as this is supposed to "-r-educe the pressure on engineering to 'make' a release." So keep an eye out for Chrome 6.0 - and 7.0, 8.0, and more - to appear in the not-too-distant future, and enjoy the fruits of Google's accelerated schedule.
