Google has put out Chrome 31 and with it comes a good few new features for the cross-platform web-browser.

Likely of most interest to Phoronix readers with Chrome 31 will be the landing of Portable Native Client (PNaCl) support for basically running native C/C++ code in Chrome via LLVM bit-code in a sandboxed environment.

Chrome 31 also includes support for web payments, various Android improvements like application shortcuts, and a number of security fixes.

More details can be found via the Google Chrome Release Blog.
