Google Earth Pro 7.3.4

The new release features a number of improvements, the highlights of which include:

• Fixes for 3D controller devices on Mac and Windows.
• Resolves navigation bugs in Street View mode.
• Fixes distorted rendering of Street View imagery.
• Improved support of new map layers.
• Faster performance when importing GeoTIFF files.
• Accurate positioning of stars and night sky background.
• Improved compatibility with recent Linux versions.
• Security updates and fixes.
• Other fixes and enhancements.

In the "About" dialog contents for this release, Google is paying tribute to our former colleague Michael T. Jones, who passed away earlier this year. Michael was the former Google Chief Technology Advocate, one of the principals of Keyhole Inc., and a founder of Google Earth. Thanks of Google and Google employees go out to Michael's family and friends for helping to realize this small piece of recognition.

Interesting. Version 7.3.3.7786 (64-bit) is still active for me. For a few days, outdated folders have also been displayed in the layers. Probably related to the new version.
Usually, GE pro always updated itself automatically for me. Is that also the case with version 7.3.4 or do you have to take care of it yourself?

I never get it automatically updated. In time, I remember, I turned an option off somewhere.
I too have the "outdated" folders for some time. They are still there in the new version.

Hopefully, the new folders will contain more correct or comprehensive information, not in this version but in a near future.

For anyone interested, here is the help forum topic about the layer modifications:

The new release features a number of improvements.....I'm running Google Earth Pro 7.3.4.8248.  Did the Google Earth Community placemarks get deleted?  These were an important tool for a research project.  Wikipedia is still there, in the More folder.  Gallery is now a folder with no subfolders.

No, the blue i's are in the Gallery folder but links to the posts are broken since the old forum is closed.
Although fixed later on, there have been reports on missing layers on Mac. Please, report it if it is the case: link

Many times I have to server log out / log in because of layers freezing (roads, borders, photos either ways), also many times I have experienced the same "Gallery (or other) layer with no dropdown arrow for subfolders" problem.

A restart or server logout usually helps.
