The Chrome team over Google has announced on July 31 the availability of the latest stable version of the Chrome browser for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame. The Chrome browser now carries version 21. Version number 21.0.1180.57 for Mac and Linux meanwhile 21.0.1180.60 for Windows and Chrome Frame.
Unlike previous version (with barely any significant changes), Google Chrome 21 comes with truckload of new features and improvements. Other than important bug fixes, the browser contains notable features including a new API for high-quality video and audio communication. Here’s the details from Chrome Blog.
Chrome now includes the getUserMedia API, which lets you grant web apps access to your camera and microphone without a plug-in. The getUserMedia API is the first step in WebRTC, a new real-time communications standard which aims to allow high-quality video and audio communication on the web.
The getUserMedia API also allows web apps to create awesome new experiences like Webcam Toyand Magic Xylophone. In Chrome Web Lab, if you’re on the latest version of Chrome, theSketchbots experiment uses getUserMedia to let you take a picture of your face, which is then converted to a line drawing and sent to a robot in the Science Museum in London. The robot then draws out your portrait in a patch of sand, which you can watch live on YouTube and visitors can watch in person at the museum. It’s just about as crazy as it sounds, and twice as cool.
Other features include deeper Google Cloud Print integration, expanded support for gamepads, and support for high-resolution Mac Retina screens.
Google Chrome 21 Stable is compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP, Mac and Linux operating systems.
