The Stable channel has been updated to 54.0.2840.79 (Platform version: 8743.76.0) for all Chrome OS devices except HP Chromebook 13 G1, Acer Chromebook 14 for Work and Thinkpad 13 Chromebook. This build contains a number of bug fixes, security updates, and feature enhancements. Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days.

Some highlights of these changes are:

• New Alt-Tab UI when switching between windows
• Quick View feature in Files App to preview files
• New setting opt-in to show Input Method menu on shelf
• Read only policy for external USB/SD storage devices
• UI improvements for user removal from the start screen
  Security Fixes:
  Note: Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix. We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven't yet fixed.
