The Stable channel has been updated to 38.0.2125.101 (Platform version: 6158.49.0, 6158.56.0) for all Chrome OS devices except Chromeboxes. This build contains a number of bug fixes, security updates and feature enhancements. Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days. Here is a list of Chromium changes.

Some highlights of these changes are:
  • MTP support in the Files app - you can now plug in your Android phone and get files from it
  • We’ve added a set of features to enhance touch screen accessibility

Security Fixes and Rewards
