Google Chrome's Dev channel has been updated to 2.0.164.0. This is a bug fix release. Find about the Dev channel and how to subscribe at http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel.

You might notice 8 Indic languages are now available for the Google Chrome user interface: Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya*, Tamil, and Telugu. (*Note: Oriya does not work in Windows XP.) This is just the initial integration of support for these languages. The translations are not complete and haven't been finalized. Please don't file bugs for these languages, yet.

Changes
  • Fixed the problems with Facebook's sidebar layout.
  • Fixed last week's 'crash on some Hebrew and Arabic sites' known issue.
  • Fixed several problems with making Google Chrome the default browser on Windows Vista.
  • The complete list of changes is available in the release notes.
Known Issues
Just so you know (and don't have to spend your time filing a bug when you run into these):
  • After scrolling, input method editor (IME) windows appear far from the current text area. (Issue 7651)
  • The Web Inspector (right click > Inspect Element) does not work. (Issue 7800)
  • Issues with commands on pop-up windows: the context menu has most commands disabled, reload and view source do not work. (Issues 7615, 7635, 7804)
  • Saving web pages does not work. Save as.. (Ctrl+S) appears to save to your Downloads folder, but it creates a file in the Application\2.0.164.0 directory. (Issue 7616)
  • Some pop-ups and tabs load pages, but the title remains 'Untitled' and the address bar shows 'about:blank' as the URL. (Issue 7625)
Let us know about any issues you find by filing a bug.
