[Dev Channel] Google Chrome 4.0.245.1 Released

[smashguy]

Google Chrome Frame has been updated to version 4.0.245.1. All users should be updated automatically.

This release fixes several of the most common crashes and the following issues:

• Network requests fail randomly (Issue 27401).
  
• Fix issues with CFInstall.js to better detect compatible OS and browser versions, allow users to cancel the installation frame, and not cache the is Available result (Issues 22738, 23057, and 23132).
  
• Don't use Google Chrome Frame for frames or iframes (Issue 22989).
  
• Follow redirects properly (Issue 25643).
  
• IE8 freezing intermittently (Issue 24007).
  
• Remove data directories on uninstall (Issue 27483).
  

Security Fix

Google Chrome Frame 4.0.223.9 and earlier versions were vulnerable to a cross-origin bypass.

Severity: High.

An attacker could have bypassed cross-origin protections. Although important, "High" severity issues do not permit persistent malware to infect a user's machine. We're unaware of any exploitation of this issue.

It's Google Chrome Frame. It's a new build.

I hope Google eventually removes the forced creation of a Downloads folder under my Documents folder. That always bothered me with Google Chrome Frame.

you could atleast include a url to the new build.
