The Stable channel has been updated to 74.0.3729.125 (Platform version: 11895.95.0/1) for most Chrome OS devices. This build contains a number of bug fixes and security updates. Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days.
New Features

- Users can quickly access their most recent apps and Google searches by clicking on the search box

Security Improvements
- The SafeSetID LSM has been added to Chrome OS and the Linux kernel. It allows system services to safely manage the users under which their programs run without requiring powerful system privileges. This improves security in the event there is a vulnerability in the system service that can be exploited.
