The release of Chrome OS 111 is now available, based on the Linux kernel, utilizing the upstart system manager, ebuild/portage build tools, open components, and the Chrome browser 111. The user environment of Chrome OS is limited to the web browser, and instead of standard applications, web applications are used. However, Chrome OS includes a full multi-window interface, desktop, and taskbar. The source code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. The Chrome OS 111 build is available for most current models of Chromebook. A version of Chrome OS Flex is offered for use on regular computers.
Key changes in Chrome OS 111:
- A simpler and faster way to pair with Bluetooth devices and Android smartphones has been introduced. Once a device is turned on and the fast pairing mode is enabled, the platform automatically detects the new device and allows connection with a single tap. Bluetooth devices are linked to a Google account, making it easier to switch between devices.
- The text editor has added a hint for available keyboard shortcuts.
- For centrally managed devices, the ability to identify the device from which the print job was sent has been provided. Information about the source is transmitted through the IPP attribute client-info.
