Google Chrome 23.0.1271.52 released to Beta Channel

Google Chrome Beta Channel Update (October 24, 2012)
The Google Chrome Beta channel has been updated to version 23.0.1271.52 for Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Chrome Frame platforms. This update fixes some of the stability issues that were reported in the previous release. This update also has an updated version of JavaScript engine V8 - 3.13.7.4 and updated WebKit to version 537.11 (@132110)

Google Chrome 23 Beta includes the PeerConnection API, which allows developers to create web apps with real-time audio and video calling without the need for a plug-in. Together, PeerConnection and the getUserMedia API represent the next steps in WebRTC, a new standard which aims to allow high quality video, audio, and data communications on the web.

Google Chrome 23 also includes track support for HTML5 video. Track support provides an easy, standard way to add subtitles, captions, descriptions, chapters, and metadata to videos. It can be used to make videos accessible, split videos into sections, and create new unique video experiences. Track provides developers with a unified, programmatic mechanism for doing all these things in the HTML DOM and Javascript.

In addition, Google Chrome 23 Beta includes the MediaSource API. It provides a video playback solution that adapts video quality based on changing computer and network conditions to prevent excessive buffering and startup delays for videos - that means, your video will play silky smooth for users with no annoying stutters
