The Stable channel has been updated to 29.0.1547.57 (Platform version: 4319.74.0) for all Chrome OS devices (edited 8/23/2013: except the Lenovo Thinkpad X131e). This build contains a number of bug fixes, security updates and feature enhancements. Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days.

Some highlights of these changes are:
  • Kernel 3.8 landed on Pixel and Samsung 550. 
  • New “immersive” mode - hit the fullscreen button to hide the toolbar and shelf and until you hover at the top for a more immersive browsing experience. 
  • Pin apps to the shelf using Drag and Drop from the Launcher 
  • Default wallpaper selection will sync across all your devices 
  • Monitor Scaling allows you to scale the UI. Especially useful on Pixel to get some more space 
  • Two-finger history navigation 
  • App launcher Search just got cleverer 
    • It will dynamically learn what you search for 
    • Apps are more prominent 
    • It will search for you in the web store if you don’t have an app installed 
Known Issues: 
  • The link to redeem your Chrome Goodies in the Files app is temporarily broken and will be fixed with the next release. In the meantime, please go here directly.
