Google Chrome's Dev channel has been updated to 2.0.172.2. We're late this week, because I wanted to make sure we fixed the #1 annoyance with 171.0: you can't copy text with right click.

You can find out about getting on the Dev channel here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel.

Notable Changes:
  • Fixed not being able to copy selected text by using right-click (Issue 8883).
  • Added support to cache some form submissions so that when you press back, you don't get the annoying "Confirm Form Submission" page (Issue 2636).
  • The Web Inspector should be working properly again (right-click > Inspect Element) (Issue 8821).
  • Fixed most pages being cut off on the side and bottom when you print them (Issue 9535).
Last Week's Known Issues Fixed:
  • Fixed problem of creating multuiple Download tabs in a window (Issue 8767). Thanks to a contribution by Mohamed Mansour.
  • Fixed the progress indicator for downloads (Issue 8220).
  • Fixed History tab only showing today's browsing history (Issue 8827).
  • Fixed auto-detect for page encoding (Issue 8587).
Known Issues
  • Cannot drag bookmarks on then New Tab page (Issue 9674).
  • Mouse wheel scrolling does not scroll windows that aren't focused (9647).
  • Plus much, much more! Let us know about the issues you find by filing a bug, but please search the open issues first.
A detailed list of changes in this release is in the release notes.
