This one almost slipped by unnoticed: Google posted the 100,000th revision of Chrome code last week. Build 100,000 was posted on September 7. Since then, Chrome has received 816 new revisions.
Chrome was first made available on September 2, 2008. It took the developer crew 1100 days to hit the milestone, which averages about 91 revisions per day. Chrome software developers post more than 1000 changes to Chrome in an average week, which can be followed in the public revision log.
Revision 100,000 was rather uneventful, but developer Peter Beverloo reports that Kazuhiro Inaba was lucky enough to score the prestigious mark, while five other Google developers apparently tried to hit it as well. Revision 100,001, for example, was posted just 2 seconds after Inaba’s revision. Revision 100,000 reads:
“Move debug print functions for ex-libcros classes from .h to .cc. The functions are located in header files due to a historical reason (see the original comment in ibus_ui_controller.h), which should have disappeared thanks to the code movement from libcros to Chrome.”
The revision log stood at 100,816 at the time of this writing. The most recent public Chromium (16) build dates back to September 9 and has the number 100,430.
