Google just rushed out an updated for the dev channel of their web browser, for all supported platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome Frame). The new build is 19.0.1068.1 and it has been released to take care of a sparring amount of issues.

This revision corrects a performance problem that caused the application to hang and eat up CPU power.

The revision log for Google Chrome Dev 19.0.1068.1 contains only two modifications, one of them being a fix for “about:flags” by switching “onclick” to “onchange” for selected element.

The other is related to SPDY protocol, which is designed to reduce the latency of web pages. You can check the list of bugs on this page.
