Google today jumped the gun by updating its Chrome browser with a new version of Flash Player that Adobe won't release until later today.

The Chrome update to version 11.0.696.68 -- the newest version of the "stable" build of the browser -- included Flash Player 10.3, an edition that Adobe has not officially shipped.

Adobe's latest version of Flash Player 10.3 was a "release candidate" that it posted for download April 20.

Chrome now reports that it's using Flash Player 10.3.181.14; the previous version of the browser was using Flash Player 10.2.154.28.
