The Beta channel has been updated to 7.0.517.36 for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame.
The majority of fixes in this release were related to stability and polish. Of particular note, we also landed fixes for NTLM authentication and restored the ability to hide the most visited sites on the new tab page. We've disabled plugin click to play for 7.0 (it will return in 8.0 once we've worked out some minor issues).
