Right now we're doing an rsync to klobber on update, which is fine for pre-dogfood. E.g. our "normal" Mac crash rate far exceeds any possible crashes caused by version mismatching in the 3 auto-updates we have sent out internally. Although we could load all resources on startup, that ignores one critical piece. Since renderers are separate processes and are launched on-demand, we would still have the problem of "old browser" talking to "new renderer". I suspect we'll need to have either a versioned scheme line Windows, or a "complete upgrade" step on initial launch. jrg --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
