So - how long does it take for features to make their way into production? Am I reading the release calendar correctly in that it'll take 12 weeks from start of development to beta, and another 12 weeks from beta to stable?
It looks like Chrome 8 went stable on 12/2. So we'll see Chrome 10 in 4 months?
The releases are overlapped though, so we are testing v n+1 in beta while v n is in stable, and we are starting new feature development for v n+2 while v n is in stable.
Chrome 8 just went stable, and we've just started testing Chrome 9.
So crankshaft will either be 6 weeks from today (if it's in 9), or 12 weeks from now (if it's in 10).
I don't think it's been announced which it's targeted for.
Ah, ok. I guess I misread the release calendar. Thanks for the clarification :).

According to the perf comparison chart on the blog, it's in Chrome 10. Also, it's mentioned that Crankshaft is available in the canary build, which is currently at 10 too.
12 weeks then. I sometimes revert back to FF for the plugins, but I always come back to Chrome for the perf :).
