Incremental Update to Google Earth 4.3.7204.0836 (beta)

Google has released an update to the 4.3 beta released two weeks ago which fixes some bugs (no new features that I see). This is still a beta version, so Google probably has more things they plan to fix before finalizing 4.3. You can download it through the Google Earth Download page, or if you haven't downloaded 4.3 before, you can use GEB's download Google Earth page. Thanks to Frederic for the tip that this was now available.

Here are some of the things they fixed in this incremental release (still waiting for official release notes):

  • MAC only- Whenever balloon has enough text to require a vertical scroll bar, the horizontal scroll bar shows up as well. Even though the horizontal text are not wide enough.
  • Bottom margin of balloon is too big.
  • Balloons sometime do not render image when clicked repeatedly.
  • Sometime balloon does not open in Vista machine.
  • "to here"/"from here" does not work in newly created placemark.
  • Navigation from camera views (above horizon) is broken.
  • Crash at exiting sky mode.

By the way, if you are looking to report a problem you're having with GE 4.3, or you want to go back to GE 4.2, read this excellent post at the GE Community by 'Noisette'. Or just go to the Google Earth support forum.
