Google seems to be a little funny about version numbers but they are calling this a Stable release. If you are currently using the beta you should receive the update automatically. Download Here

Quote:
Improved New Tab Page: The most requested feature from users was the ability to remove thumbnails from the New Tab page. Now you can finally hide that embarrassing gossip blog from the Most Visited section.

Full Screen Mode: If you've ever given a presentation or watched a large video using Google Chrome, you might have wished you could use every last pixel on your screen for the content. Now you can hide the title bar and the rest of the browser window by hitting F11 or selecting the option in the Tools menu.

Form Autofill: Filling out your information in forms over and over again can be tedious. Form autofill helps by showing information you've previously entered into the same form fields automatically. If at any point you want to clear out your information, that's easy to do from the Tools menu.

Increased Stability: Google Chrome is more stable than ever--we have fixed over 300 bugs that caused crashes since launch.

Increased Speed: Making the web faster continues to be our main area of focus. Thanks to a new version of WebKit and an update to our JavaScript engine, V8, interactive web pages will run even faster. We've also made sure that JavaScript keeps running fast even when you have lots of tabs open. Try opening a bunch of web applications and then running your favorite benchmark. You can read more about V8 in our JavaScript scalability post on the Chromium blog.

What about the 2GB max download size? People are complaining about it.

The 2GB download cap wasn't in V1 and fixed in V2 ? :scratchhead:

How can you say that the 2GB max download didn't exist? Did the people who experienced it, dream it?

I don't know who you're talking to, but if it's me let me rephrase what I said, now that I re-read it I can see how it could be misunderstood if you leave out the fact that it's in the form of a question.

I thought the 2GB limit was in V1 and that it had been fixed in V2.
