Labels: Beta updates, Stable updates

The Chrome team is happy to announce our latest Stable release, 8.0.552.215.
In addition to the over 800 bug fixes and stability improvements, Chrome 8
now contains a built in PDF viewer that is secured in Chrome’s sandbox.
As always, it also contains our latest security fixes, listed below.
This release will also be posted to the Beta Channel.

Security fixes and rewards:
Please see the Chromium security page for more detail. Note that the

to date with the fix.

We would like to offer special thanks -- and a number of rewards --
to Aki Helin of OUSPG for his extensive help with the new PDF feature.
We’d also like to extend thanks to Sergey Glazunov and Marc Schoenefeld
for finding bugs during the development cycle such that they never
reached a stable build.

Full details about the changes are available in the SVN revision log.
If you find new issues, please let us know by filing a bug. Want to
