The full detailed git change log of the update can be found here.

Google had first demoed custom Chrome tabs at Google I/O earlier this year.  Custom tabs will allow developers to package a chrome tab according to their liking inside their app for a better experience.

Over the last few release, the Chrome team has added many useful new features to the browser, including Touch to Search and other meaningful performance improvements.

The update is rolling out in batches via the Google Play Store, though the APK is already available for download from here.
