Latest Version of Google Chrome Adds Full Screen

I’m not much of a full screen fiend myself, but you know there had to be at least a COUPLE please out there impatiently waiting for this feature.

That’s right, the latest version of the dev channel Chrome is 2.0.166.1 and the big marquee addition to this version is full screen. If you’re up to date, go ahead and hit the F11 key to test out. Dandy!

Here is the rest of the change log according to the official Chrome releases blog.

New

• Preliminary full screen support has been added (UI still in progress).
• Turkish and Estonian spell checkers are available.
• Additional malware data collection for users opted-in to sending usage statistics and crash reports.
• We now perform HTTP authentication over a keep-alive connection.

Fixes

• Fixed a regression where it was not possible to drag a tab between two windows.
• Fixed issue related to the input method editor (IME) and the distance/ location to the current text area after scrolling.
• Double clicking no longer maximizes the window.
• Fixed everything listed as Known Issues last week.
• The complete list of changes is available in the release notes.

Known Issues

• Download shelf will *not* warn about dangerous .exe files (Issue: 7971).
• Windows 7 users will experience issues importing favorites from IE and setting Chrome as the default browser.
• Repaint issues on reloaded page after a crash (Issue: 8065).
• Javascript debugger doesn’t come up for constrained windows (Issue: 8071).
• Sad face not displayed after a plugin crash (Issue: 7673).

So go ahead and grab the new version, that is if you can live with the final known issue. Thats kind of a deal breaker to me.
