Boy, That Escalated Quickly. Chrome 8 Beta Due Shortly, Chromium Hits Version 9

Whenever I ask Google about the versions of Chrome and Chromium, they're quick to point out that the numbers don't mean much these days. That said, they still show how quickly the search giant is able to get features implemented that they want to see in their browser. And they're apparently not happy with the already fast speed at which things are progressing. They want things to go faster. So they're working to speed things up even more. A posting in their Chromium Google Group notes they'd like Chrome 8 to hit the beta stage sometime in the next several days. That's pretty crazy considering that it was�only 3 days ago that Google officially released Chrome 7.�"I'm working to shorten the beta cycle for this release as much as possible," a developer wrote a couple days ago noting that meant they had to focus on blocker bugs (the bugs stopping a version from hitting beta).�The developer also notes that this is a part of making sure Google's ultra-fast six week release cycle remains feasible.
