The following is an update to our browser engine (Chromium). Such updates can cause new bugs and regressions in behaviour. Please compare it against the last snapshot and let us know if you see any new issues.

Known issues

  • No Mac Builds this time: they will return before 1.5 is released as a stable version
  • [Regression] The caret does not display in text areas after focussing another application: click through the tabs to get the caret back in the mean time
