The last major update for Chromebooks was rolled out in December i.e. Chrome OS 63. It brought Meltdown patches for new Intel-powered Chromebooks with kernels 3.18 and 4.4. Now, a new Chrome OS update with version number 65 is being rolled out with patches for Spectre variant 2 and Meltdown for older Intel-powered Chromebooks.
Google Chrome OS 65 update also brings local file search, video profile picture and options to control the voice pitch from lowest to highest in Select-to-Speak accessibility feature. It also includes a compiler-based fix which prevents kernel-to-user, guest-to-guest, and host-to-guest information leaks.
