I don't know why you edited this out of my original description:

"From a security perspective, having no Chromium package at all would be better than having outdated ones with gaping holes."

24.0.1312.56 is in raring-proposed with armhf still building. It's also in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ppa/+packages for the stable releases with amd64 and i386 done (I think) for lucid-quantal. We'll wait for testing to complete and armhf to build before pushing to the archive. Thanks to Chad for getting armhf worked out this time around and providing the packages. This sets us up in very good shape for going forward. :)

Maybe it'll make sense to not push the release until bug 1106876 is fixed...

Chad told me via IRC that bug 1106876 does not affect what is in the ppa.

There were two regressions on quantal that delayed this. I just sponsored 24.0.1312.56-0ubuntu0.12.10.3 for Chad to https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ppa/+packages.

I just want to point out there is a new minor revision release.
The latest version as of this time is 24.0.1312.57.

I've tested it, it seems to work nice.

http://html5test.com/
http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org/
http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html
http://octane-benchmark.googlecode.com/svn/latest/index.html

Might also wanna try Dromaeo, but it takes a bit longer than the other tests.

It fixes no critical bugs, so .57 does not warrant an update in stable releases. It also does not compile on ARM, so it can not enter Raring.

This bug was fixed in the package chromium-browser - 24.0.1312.56-0ubuntu0.12.10.3
