What's new in Google Chrome 16.0.912.0 Dev channel
This release contains the following improvements and fixes:
All
  • Updated V8 - 3.6.6.3
  • Native Client and Pepper plug-ins will be able to go use First Person controls for games and other applications after they go full screen and lock the mouse cursor. See PPB_MouseLock::LockMouse.
Mac
  • Chrome now offers improved battery life on Mac laptops with dual (integrated and discrete) GPUs. Currently the improvement is present on 2011 MacBook Pros running OS X 10.7.1, but will take effect on more machines as OS software updates are released.
Known Issues
  • Printing does not work - crashes the tab.
  • Crash in Instant (Issue 100521). Fixed on trunk; workaround is to disable Instant (if it’s already disabled and still crashes, please re-enable and disable, using the checkbox in Preferences -> Basics).
