Google Chrome dev 8.0.552.0 is Out

This morning I noticed that Google Chrome dev had a significant version jump to 8.0.552.0, and while the release notes said there are stability fixes, I think the bigger reason is that the beta channel is on 7.0.517.0, or something like that, and they wanted to keep a full major release number ahead of that. I'm not buying that there are major, significant changes that just didn't make it into the release notes.

But that's OK, I just think it would have been a little more honest to be up-front about the renumbering.
