The stable channel has been updated to 4.1.249.1036 for Windows, and includes the following features and security fixes (since 4.0):
  • Translate infobar.
  • Privacy features: content settings (cookies, images, JavaScript, plug-ins, pop-ups).

Please see this feature announcment post for more info about translate and privacy.
Security Fixes and rewards:

Please see the Chromium security page for more detail. Note that the referenced bugs may be kept private until a majority of our users are up to date with the fix.
