The Chrome OS Beta channel has been updated to R11 release 0.11.257.44 including the new Chrome 11 Beta, new trackpad and several stability and functional improvements over the previous release. This release contains the following fixes:
  • We are now running Flash Player on a new platform known as Pepper/PPAPI by default, which we hope will improve stability and performance. It is also running inside a full sandbox which further protects users from malware and security exploits.
  • An NPAPI version of Flash Player is still included, but not used by default. If you experience significant problems or incompatibilities with the (default) PPAPI version, you can switch to the NPAPI version using chrome://plugins.
  • Several WiFi bug fixes are in
  • Enabled GSM support for 3G via commands in crosh
  • AutoUpdate now supports Proxy AutoConfiguration (PAC) files and automatic proxy detection
  • New window switcher UI

You can find full list of fixes that are in Chrome OS R11 in the chromium-os bug tracker . If you find new issues, please let us know by visiting our help site or filing a bug.
