Internet giant, Google has said in its chromium blog that it will release a new stable version of its Chrome web browser every six weeks as it picks up pace for the releases.

The company has released five major revisions of the browser in less than two years. At new pace, the users will have a new stable version of the browser roughly twice often as in the past, according to Anthony Laforge, Chrome program manager.

Google has named the production line of Chrome its "stable" build but it also has "beta" and "dev" versions that are released more frequently.

The accelerated pace will be introduced in the coming months. Google intends to bring new features to users faster, releasing updates on a more predictable schedule and reduce pressure off the developers with the fastening of the pace of new releases.

"With the new schedule, if a given feature is not complete, it will simply ride on the next release train when it's ready. Since those trains come quickly and regularly (every six weeks), there is less stress," he said in the Chromium blog.

Indications are that at this pace Chrome 9.0 might be released by the end of this year. The 6.0 version is expected to be released very soon followed by 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0.
