Yesterday's Dev Channel update (3.0.187.0) for Windows had a critical bug which crashes the browser when you use the wrench or page menus.  This release fixes that issue.


If you already have 3.0.187.0 you cannot get to About Google Chrome to force an update.  You have a couple of choices to get the update.

  1. Wait.  If you wait about 5 hours Google Chrome will check for an update and install it for you.
  2. Uninstall Google Chrome and reinstall from http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?extra=devchannel
The Mac and Linux builds were not affected by this bug so they are not being updated.

We apologize for the problem and we are making changes to our process to try and avoid issues like this in the future.  The dev channel is always going to be a little risky but we agree that major features like this should not go out broken.
