Chrome OS 60 Released

8/8/2017

0 Comments

 
Chrome OS 60 is being rolled out to the district today. This build contains a number of bug fixes, security updates and feature enhancements. There isn't a ton of new stuff here, but since we skipped over version 59, you will see a lot of new Material Design enhancements that came with 59.

The major reason to update to 60 is an urgent security patch to fix the BroadPwn security bug.

Here are the enhancements in 59 you will be seeing:
  • Chrome apps running in kiosk mode can access Networking APIs for kiosk network management and Audio APIs
  • Chrome OS Native Printing
Yes, that is correct. Native Printing has finally come to our Chromebooks. I am really on the fence about this one, but, it is a feature our staff wants. I will be writing more about that in the next few days, as well as documenting how to use it both per device and per user (through the Admin Console).

Additionally, be prepared for some confusion as folks navigate the new Settings Menu.
