Why is it that all new chrome features are usually announced on random blogs all over the place, while the official "chromereleasenotes" blogspot blog has almost never any useful information? There they all seem to talk about various minor security fixes in the stable channel posts, but almost never are new features highlighted. Is it really necessary to track the beta and canary release notes and svn logs to stay on top of things?

Because individual devs with "random blogs" know about actions they've taken sooner than its filtered into official corporate announcements.

New JS features and the like seem to be announced on the chromium blog (not the chrome releases blog), but often only with Beta releases. 45 hasn't hit Beta yet, so...
But the most complete official source of information on feature status isn't a blog, its https://www.chromestatus.com/features
We try and make sure that the Chromium blog (http://blog.chromium.org/) always covers new features as they make it into the new Beta. Imho you should be able to read the beta blog posts on that blog and not miss any new developer shiny things. Also fwiw we're going to try and do a better job of making the release notes link to the appropriate beta blog post on the Chromium blog, I agree we've done a poor job on that in the past.
