Search giant Google is rolling out what is likely the last incremental release of Chrome 21 for Leopard users, squashing any remaining bugs before moving onto releases that target newer versions of OS X. The iOS version of the browser has been updated as well.

Last week, Google issued a memo to Mac users of its Chrome web browser informing the Leopard install-base that version 21 was the last they’d see on the five-year old Mac OS.

“If you already have Chrome installed, you can still use Chrome, but it will no longer be auto-updated,” the company behind the world’s biggest search engine said.

“In addition, you’ll be unable to install Chrome on any Mac still running 10.5 (which is an OS X version also no longer being updated by Apple),” it added.

While Google never said anything about incrementing Chrome on Leopard one last time, a recent update on the Stable channel indicates that this is the case.

Google does not provide support if you install Chrome on any system that does not meet the specified criteria. Windows Important: We will continue to fully support Chrome on Windows 7 for a minimum of 18 months after Microsoft’s End of Life date, until at least July 15, 2021. Starting with Mac OS X 10.7, Apple no longer offers Java as part of the Mac operating system. Since Webex Meetings previously relied on the Java browser plugin to download the meeting application for first-time users, users without Java installed found it difficult to join a meeting. The dependency on Java was removed.

• Unless you want to help port Chrome to 64-bit Mac, port Java 7 to 32-bit Mac, or write a wrapper that lets 32-bit browsers use a 64-bit JVM, or wait for someone else to do one of the above (it may be 1 week or 5 years for a 64-bit Chrome; the others will likely never happen), the easiest solution is to just use Safari (or Firefox or whatever.
• In previous versions of Mac OS X, Java will ordinarily be installed by default. In any case, to make sure you have the most recent version of Java in Mac OS X, use Software Update; see ARCHIVED: For Mac OS X, how do I obtain and install system software updates? All current web browsers, including Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, support Java.

Karen Grunberg blogging for Google reports that, “The Stable channel has been updated to 21.0.1180.90 for Mac 10.5 users only.” Users are directed to the changelog to see what’s new (mostly bug fixes), and those who find new issues are apparently still encouraged to use the bug reporter.
