At first, Web content appearing on the screen 5 percent faster on average may not seem like a huge difference, but when you realize how quickly pages load on Chrome already, itâ??s a big jump. Starting with this release, the scheduler more aggressively uses an idle connection and demotes the priority of preloaded resources so that they donâ??t interfere with critical assets.<div><a href="http://www.myopenrouter.com/blog/entry/48403/Chrome-27-Speed-Tweak-5/">[Read more]</div> News, Rumors and Gossip Wed, 22 May 2013 13:15:14 GMT Open Source News http://www.myopenrouter.com/blog/entry/48403/Chrome-27-Speed-Tweak-5/#discussion?src=blog_rss http://www.myopenrouter.com/blog/entry/48403/Chrome-27-Speed-Tweak-5/?src=blog_rss http://www.myopenrouter.com/blog/entry/48404/NetBSD-6.1/?src=blog_rss From the Upgrade dept.: The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce NetBSD 6.1, the first feature update of the NetBSD 6 release branch.

Part of the reason for this phenomenon may be that attackers like vulnerabilities that are in multiple versions of Java, rather than just one specific version. â??In Q3 and Q4 of 2012 two new vulnerabilities, CVE-2012-4681 and CVE-2012-5076, were found. But we didnâ??t observe any prevalence of Java malware abusing these newer vulnerabilities above malware abusing the older Java vulnerabilities, CVE-2012-0507 and CVE-2012-1723. The reason behind this might be that only Java 7 installations were vulnerable to CVE-2012-4681 and CVE-2012-5076, whereas CVE-2012-0507 and CVE-2012-1723 also target Java 6. As there are still many users that use Java 6, the malware writers might have tried to target Java 6 installations by including older vulnerabilities in the exploit package. We can assume that, for this reason, they didnâ??t do away with the older vulnerabilities,â??

This testing, guided by the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we make a Beta release available.
