In the last snapshot, there was some concern from a handful of you, due to problems many attributed to a Chromium upgrade. I would like to remind you that we have a fantastic team here, that can fix issues like these quickly and efficiently. In order to do so however, we need to understand what is going on. The “dead bird” and poor scrolling that many of you saw, was highly dependent on particular OS and CPU combinations (which none of us in Oslo or Reykjavík had). The feedback from those of you who did choose to test the build was invaluable in getting to the root of the problem and once we did, it was a fairly trivial fix.
If you did miss the last snapshot (autoupdate for 1.0.420.4 was disabled due to VB-14036) I have included its changelog in addition to the normal one. You might also want to read the previous blog post, if you want to learn more search suggestions.
