New Google Chrome 7.0.5 Released + Direct Download Link

   Google has announced a new stable version of the popular Google Chrome web browser for Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 features hundred of fixes from the last stable release 6.0.472.63. Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 is also the first stable version of the 7.x series. Other features that have been brought in the new version are an updated HTML5 parser, and the File API, which in theory should offer support for editing local files directly in the browser, with the aid of HTML 5 (e.g. images, txt). While Mozilla was first in implementing the HTML5 parser in their Firefox 4 betas, Google Chrome 7 is now the first browser to bring this to users in a stable version.  
Another interesting feature in Chrome 7 is directory upload support. This means that you can upload entire directories, instead of single files.

Google Chrome 7 also includes the FileAPI, which will allow web applications to open local files. This will allow JavaScript applications to open a local file and edit it straight in the browser without sending it to the server. So an image editing application implemented in HTML5 could load a local image, work on it locally and save it locally without needing any data to be transferred to the server. This combined with offline applications support essentially means that you could have full-fledged desktop-like applications working in your browser.
Google has also mentioned that a few major security problems have been corrected, and they wanted to send special thanks to Aki Helin and “kuzzcc," two programmers who have made crucial contributions which helped the company to deliver the first stable version of the 7.x series just in time.

If you have Google Chrome installed on your computer it should automatically update to the latest version. If you're using a beta / dev version you should have already updated to Google Chrome 8. It was just a short while release of Google Chrome 6, and very soon the 7th version available in the stable channel. This is only to be expected as Google had shortened the release cycles of Google Chrome so that a new version would come out every 6 weeks.
