Google has released Chrome 18.0.1025.151 Stable and Beta for Linux, Macintosh, Windows, and Chrome Frame platforms to address multiple vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. This update also includes fixes for a number of stability issues and other bugs from previous release. In addition, this version contains the new version of Adobe Flash Player (11.2.202.229) plug-in. The full details about changes that are in this version of Google Chrome listed in What's new in Google Chrome 18.0.1025.151 Stable section.
Google Chrome 18 contains some really great improvements including GPU accelerating 2D Canvas, and enabling 3D content for older GPUs. For most Windows and Mac users, Google've enabled GPU-accelerated rendering of 2D Canvas content, so that canvas-based games and animations run faster and feel smoother. You can go to chrome://gpu to see which features are being accelerated
Google Chrome 18 is now able to display 3D content via SwiftShader, a software rasterizer Google licensed from TransGaming, Inc. Although SwiftShader won’t perform as well as a real GPU, it will be an improvement for many of our users on older operating systems such as Windows XP.
